WORDS FROM THE CODER:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is Instincts contribution to the 64K intro at Rush Hours '98. It was
actually supposed to be released at TG, but I didn't manage to finish it in
time. Some of my groupmates spread a betaversion to a few people at TG, but
THIS is the final version (uses less memory, outputs error messages instead of
hanging the machine, more efficient textplotting routine, some minor changes
to text/timing).
Btw, be sure that your processor caches are enabled! ("cpu cache burst")
COMPABILITY:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The code uses 68020+ instructions, but since it's AGA it wouldn't be possible
to see it with pre-020 processors anyway. You need fastmem, I haven't
calculated the exact amount, but 4 mb is more than enough. I have personally
tested the intro on these configs:
-A1200 with Microbotics 1230/50mhz with 8mb fastmem with/without FPU.
-A1200 with GVP 1230/40mhz with 4mb fastmem (hei Benjamin! =)
The beta version worked on Punisher's 040, so I guess the final version should
too... Unfortunately I have not been able to test it on the 060. Hopefully it
works with that one too!
