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 ôHTA Dropping introö released in the world.

Have a look at \source\ - which includes make.bat, and
the source bits.  If you re-cycle this technique û please
greet me!
