THIS IS TEC'S VECTORBOBS, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY,
VECTORBOBS WITH LINES. THIS TEXT WAS WRITTEN AT THE SHAPE/TRC PARTY
IN PORSGRUNN. IT'S ALMOST 200 PEOPLE HERE, BUT AT LEAST 100 OF THEM ARE
C64 LAMERS (AAARRGG!!) I'VE BEEN CODING THIS DEMO SINCE I ARRIVED
HERE, ABOUT 19 HOURS AGO, WITH NO LONGER BREAKS THAN 15 MINUTES, AND I
POSSIBLY HAVE TO CONTINUE CODING THIS DEMO UNTIL THE DEADLINE FOR THE
DEMOCOMPETITION THAT IS 5 AM SUNDAY MORNING, OR 15 MORE HOURS
(DOBBELT AAARRRG!) THE PARTY SEEMS OK SO FAR, BUT THERE'S FAR TOO
MANY BREADBOXES HERE! I DON'T THINK IT WILL RELEASED MANY AMIGA
DEMOS HERE, I'VE ONLY SEEN A FEW. NO LIMITS AND I WILL PROBABLY GET
THE BEST RATINGS IN THE COMPETITION, BUT I'VE NOT SEEN ALL THE DEMOS YET.
NO LIMITS WILL RELEASE 3 OR 4 (?)
DEMOS HERE. ONE OF THEM IS A VECTORDEMO LIKE THIS, BUT EVERYTHING IS
COMPUTED IN BASIC, BUT IT GIVES A NICE EFFECT. IF THEY WIN, I THINK THEY WILL
WIN WITH THAT DEMO. THERE'S ALSO LINEDRAWING
AS IN THIS DEMO IN THE NO LIMITS DEMO. CAN THAT HAVE SOMETHING
TO DO WITH THAT I TOLD A NO LIMITS MEMBER HOW I WOULD MAKE THIS DEMO SOME
WEEKS AGO??? (YES, THEY SAY)
I HAVE TO CONTINUE CODING NOW. I'LL
WRITE SOME MORE TEXT BEFORE I CRUNCH THIS DEMO NEXT MORNING.
IT'S NOW BURGLAR WHO SHALL BORE YOU THE NEXT MINUTES. HE SENT ME THE
FOLLOWING TEXT........ .... HI! THIS IS BURGLAR WRITING!!!!

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU HOW JOLIC BEHAVE WHEN HE'S AT MY PLACE..
FIRST OF ALL, HE ALWAYS RUN AROUND THINKING THAT HE'S A MANIAC!
(HE IS ONE!) THEN HE ALWAYS TAKE SOME OF MY THINGS AND PUT THEM A
PLACE WHERE I CAN'T FIND THEM. HE LOVES TO PLAY WITH MY SKATEBOARD
IN MY ROOM. ANOTHER THING HE LIKES TO DO, IS TO PUT CASSETTES,BOOKS
AND STUFF LIKE THAT IN MY WATER BED! SO WHEN I'M GOING TO GET ASLEEP,
I CAN'T COZ I HAVE TO THROW THE THINGS OUT OF MY BED. THATS A LITTLE
DESCRIPTION OF JOLIC(THE MANIAC)!! SOMTIME WHEN I CALL TO SPEAK
WITH JOMPA, AND HIS MOTHER ANSWERS THE PHONE, SHE SAYS THAT HE'S NOT
IN, THOUGH HE IS. THIS MAKES ME MAD... WELL, I AM OUT OF
LAPPCOKE, SO I'LL FINISH MY TEXT NOW WITH THESE WISE WORDS !?!
CONTACT ME !!!!! A SLOGAN.... WHY DO IT SIMPLE, WHEN YOU
CAN DO IT DIFFICULT !!!! SIGNING OFF.... BURGLAR OF IT!!!
SEE YOU SOON IN ANOTHER BORING SCROLL............
THIS IS TEC AGAIN. I'M NOW FINISHED WITH THE CODING (HURRA!), AND IT'S STILL SEVEN HOURS TO THE DEADLINE. I'LL USE THE REMAINING HOURS TO CONSTRUCT OBJECTS AND WRITE SOME TEXT. THERE'S MANY LAMERS AT THIS PARTY. THAT WAS PROVED TEN MINUTES AGO. A LAMEBRAIN THREW SOMETHING OVER TO THE OTHER END OF THE ROOM, AND SOMEONE THREW MORE BACK. THAT STARTED A FIGHT. IDIOTS STARTED TO RUN ALL AROUND THE ROOM TO FIND EMPTY CANS, BANANAS ETC. SO THEY COULD THROW BACK. (THIS HAPPENED A SECOND AND A THIRD TIME TOO.) ....... I MADE SOME NEW OBJECTS, AND THERE'S STLL 3 HOURS TO THE DEADLINE. I DIDN'T MAKE SO MANY OBJECTS, BECAUSE THAT NEED CONCENTRATION WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GET WITH OVER 100 AMIGAS AND C64 AROUND ME, AND I'M TIRED BECAUSE I'VE ALMOST NOT LEFT MY AMIGA SINCE I ARRIVED HERE 45 HOURS AGO. I'M GOING TO CRUNCH THE DEMO ALREADY, SO I'LL END THIS SCROLL WITH THE WORDS I END ALL SCROLLS WITH, THE SCROLL WILL RESTART............ NO IT WONT YET... THIS TEXT WAS WRITTEN TWO DAYS AFTER THE PARTY. AS USUAL, I GOT SOME PROBLEMS WHEN I TRIED TO CRUNCH THE DEMO. THE DEMO WORKED PERFECTLY IF I STARTED IT FROM SEKA OR FROM THE TETRACRUNCHER, BUT IF I STARTED IT FROM CLI, IT DIDN'T WORK. THERE WAS NO MUSIC, AND THE FIRST OBJECT DIDN'T APPEAR. I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. BEFORE THE DEMO STARTED, THE SCREENS WERE CLEARED BY THE BLITTER. NOW THEY'RE CLEARED BY THE PROCESSOR, AND NOW THE DEMO WORKS (I HOPE). NOW SOME WORDS ABOUT THE DEMOCOMPETITION. THERE WERE MORE DEMOS THAN I THOUGHT, I THINK IT WAS ABOUT 15 DEMOS MADE BY 11 DIFFERENT GROUPS. NO LIMITS WON THE COMPETITION WITH THEIR VECTORBOB DEMO. NUMBER TWO WAS POWERLORDS WITH A BOB DEMO. ATTITUDE WAS NUMBER THREE, AND THIS DEMO WAS NUMBER FOUR. THE COMPETITION WAS REALLY BAD. EACH GROUP SHOULD GIVE EACH DEMO 0 TO 10 POINTS, BUT THE DEMOS WERE ONLY SHOWN MAX. 60 SECONDS, AND THERE WERE MANY C64 USERS WHO VOTED, AND THEY HAD NO IDEA OF WHAT TO GIVE THE DEMOS. SOME OF THEM GAVE POINTS RANDOMLY. I WAS TOLD THAT I LOST MANY POINTS BECAUSE OF THAT. A GIGAPARTY WILL PROBABLY FIND PLACE IN DRAMMEN (NORWAY) IN APRIL NEXT YEAR. THE ORGANIZERS WILL PROBABLY BE CRYPTOBURNERS AND IT. MORE INFORMATION WILL BE GIVEN LATER. (I JUST WANTED TO SPREAD THE RUMOUR) IF YOU WANT TO CONTACT ME, WRITE TO THIS ADDRESS..... (FIND A PEN AND SOMETHING TO WRITE ON!)................ STEINAR MIDTSKOGEN SVENSKERUD 127 N 3408 TRANBY NORWAY I DO NOT PROMISE TO ANSWER ALL LETTERS, BUT SEND SOME STAMPS, AND YOU ARE GUARANTEED AN ANSWER. IT HAS NOW GOT A NEW MEMBER, NEW VISION (HE DREW THE FONT AND THE LOGO IN THIS DEMO) I HOPE SOME OF HIS GREAT GRAPHICS WILL BE USED IN A DEMO SOON. HE DRAWS REALLY GOOD. I DON'T THINK I HAVE MORE TO WRITE THIS TIME, SO ............ THE SCROLL WILL RESTART! .......
