4: The Intro

This little thingy was assembled and designed mostly by me (BiZaRRe)
a week before the party, but most of the routines are developed by
both me and Nuttah over quite a long period of time.
The intro contains (as you probably already know) some blured and
zoomed text, some blured wireframe objects and some morphing
env-mapped objects. All the objects are ofcourse realtime generated.

The intro was coded on a p133 where it ran close to perfect. I
think it will run on most normal macines. A 486dx-33 is the
absolute minimum (I think), but you'll probably need a dx2-66 to
obtain a reasonable framerate. It hasn't been tested on 386 machines,
but I don't consider a 386 to be a "normal" machine anymore.
(I guess I've got the Microsoft Syndrome: "Buy a better machine")

Even if the entire intro is timed, the bluring will not look the same
on every machine. This is because the amount of blur depends entierly
on the framerate. (Even if the objects moves in the same way on slow
and fast machines, the fastest machine will have the highest framerate)

To correct this you can try the following command-line options:

Float_4k <X-direction-blur> <Y-direction-blur>

486dx-33.............Float_4k 04 10 or Float_4k 05 10
486dx2-66............Float_4k 05 12 or Float_4k 06 12
P133.................Float_4k 07 12 (default)

Feel free to experiment yourself.

The command-tail is ignored if it's shorter than 6 bytes. All numbers
have to be 2 digits long. (Fill in a '0' if the number is lower than
10.) '00' will be ignored and defaults used instead. (Would have
generated a 'division by zero fault')

If you experience any problems running this thing, you should try to :

-press the "power on" button and follow the instructions in your
manual : "How to run a program from the DOS-prompt."
-exit that damn Windoze or OS2 (Workbench isn't recomended either :) )
-free some memory (about 500k should be enough)

If the screen just turns black you may have found the super-mega-
hyper-giga-secret part. It's a animation of 5 black grizly bears
rapeing a platoon of colored boy-scouts, sleeping in their black
tents in the middle of the night. (The details might be a bit
difficilt to see)

(Join Anakata and we might tell you how to find this secret part)

5: The Group

Anakata was formed in October 1995 by Chauple, Nuttah and Bizarre.
Back then none of us could code and we didn't know what the demoscene
was. Basically we were LAMERS. Now, none of us know anything about
gaming or win'95. We have even forgotten how to start DOOM. But we
know a lot more about coding. Chauple have lost interest in the PC
and joined the amigagroup Contraz, so only Bizarre and Nuttah is left.
As mentioned before we hope this situation will change very soon...
(Join Anakata, WE MEAN IT!!).

Not a very long list, and only 4ks. Not much point in making a demo
if you haven't got any musicians and graficians.
