The Small Balls Demo by The Cyberpunks
--------------------------------------
Coded in 1993 by Zax and Vilm
Resurrected and refreshed in 2024.
Originally intended for publication in
ST Format magazine but I don't think
we ever submitted it to them.
It will now be included in our megademo,
The Pleasuredemo, to be released in
December 2024 after a 33 year delay.
Look for it on DemoZoo.
Music by Unknown (Mad Max?).

The demo features realtime 3D rotation
of up to 96 balls with variable sizes.
Use the following keys to control
movement:
Arrow keys, Insert and Clr/Home
--------------------------------
Move balls relative to X,Y and Z axis.
This moves the logo, but not the centre
of rotation.
Shift + Arrows, Clr and Ins
-----------------------------
Rotate on X,Y and Z axis,
about the point 0,0,0.
Control + Arrows, Clr and Ins
-------------------------------
Move viewpoint in X,Y and Z planes.
This moves the centre of rotation with
the logo.
