#MegaFlames
Hidy Ho Neighbors! How about our new digs? Not the most appropriet
place but it will do. There has been some interest expressed in
restarting some of the flaming and since I started the first round I
would like to start it up again. Besides, I miss the mail. Remember,
this is all in good fun and the views expressed are not neccissarily
my own. Play nice, kids. What do you people have against .FL? and
bitmaps? Are you going to tell me that the pictures in 2 Reality were
draw pixel by pixel? How about the Gates warp in EMF's demo? Bitmaps!
Why not use 3ds or something to create an impressive object (instead
of that 16 color crap) and move it around. Thats how we do it and as
soon as you see our new screen saver (due out by xmas) I dare you to
scoff. It runs in Windows and speed is no problem. I had to introduce
timing loops to slow it down! Exactly how it is done is by creating
a .DIB sequence and retreiving and bitblitting the .DIB to the screen
at different locations. The same way Mortal Kombat was done. Get with
the times folks, there is always an easier way. Next I would like to
rave on .MOD files if that is ok. Ah, I can feel the heat already!
Windows, Windows, Windows!
