256bytes for the #coders 256b compo
crystal.com
done by tryx/Xography in 1997

General:

I heard of this compo 3 days ago, so i started to code something
and manually compress it into 256bytes ;) nowadays there are so much
programmers, most of them saying, 'asm is dead' or  'why using asm if
you have c++'. I love C++, too, but asm I like even more (maybe because
of some childhood-experiences on the Amiga ;)). And it still takes
a real coder to put cute effects into 256bytes, that's why a compo
like this great. I'm looking forward to the results.

tested

the intro runs with 486, but on pentium with optimal speed
tested under plain dos and win95.

technical specs:

- sine-generator (using fpu)

- fractal generator
a julia-set is calculated here. The algorithm
is slightly modified to create a symmetrical fractal.

- the intro uses his own calculated palette (some kind
of weird xor-stuff) and is synced to the v-retrace.

- the main routine is a zoom-rotator. The rotation&zoom-
is periodic and almost 60secs long ! You can leave the
program with any key.
