needs: 1mb VRAM, 4mb RAM, and a StrongARM would be nice
descr.: 4k demo
This demo requires a 3mb Next slot in the task manager to run and ExtBas to
assemble.
The bulk of this demo was written from scratch on the 9 & 10th June 2001.
Unfortunately, at 3am on 11th June, with a day in the office to look forward
to, it wasn't ready. So thanks to Mr Hill for extending the CC3 deadline to
accommodate my laziness.
I suppose it's inspired by the 64k GCube demo, which makes great use of the
extra 60k ;) The full screen blur is thanks to an article by Statix. The
full blur is unfortunately not fast enough on our puny machines, but for
those with super-over-clocked StrongARMs a flag may be set in the source to
re-enable it - it looks very nice, but very slow on my machine. Also, for
framerate freaks, there is a boolean at the top of the source to disable the
blur entirely to get the demo running at 20fps.
Compressed with the excellent CodePressor - many thanks to it's authors
Eli-Jean Leyssens and Tony Haines.
Hellos to Mr Hill, ARMOric, Baah, Gizmo, David Gamble, Tom, and Nathan
