#Anyone Using Director2?
2 messages in this thread
I am wondering if there are any people in this forum using Right
Answers Group's The Director2 display and animation language for the
Amiga. I use this program daily and find it wonderfully capable for
the work I do. I know the company doesn't exist any longer and that
many of you have probably moved on to SCALA, CanDo, AMOS Pro or some
other authoring package still being supported by its authors. But if
there ARE any others using The Director, I'd like to find out about
you, perhaps with an eye to exchanges of information, programming
tips etc. George Roland
George,
I have The Director 2, hold it in great praise, yet don't use it
currently. I don't have a use for its abilities at the moment, and
will probably buy Scala this year, what with the price being $150 and
all. In addition, for light multimedia, I would probably turn to
AmigaVision; but if I ever need to do serious programming, I'll
certainly blow the dust off my D2 package.
One example: I want to create a macro to automatically dump an entire
CD-ROM's worth of stock images to my optical disc recorder, thus
creating an instant-access visual catalogue. I'd use The Director to
display the filename of each image on my Amiga screen, which would
automatically overlay the 24-bit image displayed by my Firecracker24
board. The video output would be recorded (1 frame) on my optical
disc recorder. This is the kind of thing which I feel would be
perfect for the enhanced programming capabilities of D2.
In conclusion, I don't really use D2 currently, but you can certainly
put me on any reference list of yours. I'm a competent programmer, a
great troubleshooter, and am always on the lookout for stimulating
technical conversation.
