3D-Stars N \=-=-=-=-=-/ Author: Yannis Brown EMail: Yannis@gco.apana.org.au Thankyou for downloading 3D-Stars N!! Please read the following text. General But IMPORTANT Info =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - I accept NO responsibility for any damage that this or any of my programs may cause to your system. (don't be put off by this.. I have run these plenty of times on my own system). But heed my warning! You accept this warning by running the program (at your own risk). So What is this program? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - This Program simply demonstrates that I mastered the technique of vector plotting. Well... mastered is the wrong word... figured out is more like it :) What Does it do to MY Machine! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - He he.. this el-neato little program will ask you for a X,Y and Z rotaion angle. (Use SMALL Ones on fast machines ie 1,2,1). It will also let you enter the forward speed. (again.. small numbers like 1-10). Of course you can use 0 for any of these values. Then it will display a 3D Starfield using those values causing it to rotate (if the angles are not 0) and move towards you (if the Speed value is not 0). That's about all. How And Why Was it Written? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - I used Turbo Pascal 5.0 and above to create this program. I first wanted to write a TSR back in 1992 when I saw a cool program that put a dot on the screen and made it fly around in the background while normal DOS functionality remained. Since I couldn't find the program, I decided to attemt to write my own, so I begain to read up on TSR techniques in Turbo Pascal. Finally found the stuff I needed to use to write the program and produced my first TSR. Wanna find me on the NET? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - EMail: Yannis@box.apana.org.au - IRC: #australia, #trax, #adelaide, #amiga - WWW: http://gco.apana.org.au/~yannis Other Programs I have Written =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - Crazy Cursor : Makes your cursor Hyper Active. - Cool-TSR : Puts a character on the screen and makes it fly around in the background while you continue using DOS. - 3DStarsn : A 3D Starfield program that lets you enter in X,Y and Z rotation angles, Speed, and Number of Stars to use. - Reboot : Not sure if I will release this one. It reboots the computer after a number of seconds given to it. Displays a count down message of 20 seconds notice before rebooting. - Melting : Another TSR. This one will make characters drop off the screen in DOS or Text Mode Programs after a number of seconds. - Star DOS : A "Hack" to put a 3DStarfield in your DOS Prompt. - Key Music : Musical Program that uses the PC Speaker. Pretty cool for Kids. Allows you to save and read Music Script files. Try Passing a normal Textfile thru it to find out what it plays. - Crazy Lights : This TSR will make your Keyboard "Lock Lights" Blink in a sequence you decide.
