512b.domination.bat - released at NVScene 2008, San Jose. Technical notes from Polaris / Northern Dragons ----------------------------------------------- This production is a unique " experiment in the "fringes" of intro development. It uses the cab dropping technique to drop two files locally that are used during the production. x - x is a Microsoft cursor file, used to hide the cursor when the production is running. x.hta - x.hta - Is a "Html for applications" program. it is responsible for the setup of the screen playback of music, and display of the graphics that are displayed. As a Microsoft HTA, it is using windows gdi for graphics and is largely driven by Javascript. Once the hta is finished executing, the program deletes the temporary files and returns the user to the OS. I release this at NVscene, in the hopes that the technique capture peoples imagination - and to show that there are still pages to be turned in terms of "using" or "exploiting" the local OS for intro development and fun. I believe this is the first “HTA Dropping intro” released in the world. Have a look at \source\ - which includes make.bat, and the source bits. If you re-cycle this technique – please greet me!
