.oðo. What's that ? .oðo.

It's the contribution of Dake for the graphic-effect
competition at Bunzli 5 party in Berne / Switzerland

The time for this compo was limited, only 1 minute with
one effect was allowed and the maximum size was 64kb.

The effect is in 100% ASM, the text mode is 80x50.

Enjoy, watch it, cry, scream ...

.                .oðo. The story behind Guffer .oðo.

t was first coded in Flat Mode by Nix/Massive but
the thing fucked up on the competition computer which
was a Pentium 166. It seems that this Flat Mode isn't
really liked by some computers... 8)

hen there's EMM386. Isn't it ? ;) But now it works
even with Windows.. =)

nd here come the big thank to Gargamel / Fake That,
who converted it for DOS32 in only 1 hour. And it
worked after a lot of debugging and !!! The first
version in Flat Mode had music but...the deadline came
and I was too lazy to add a music player in the code..

uhh ! On the bigscreen, the text mode didn't look
so bad and the assistance enjoyed the speed of the
effect. But Chicken & Eule won the competition with
their "Underwater Love", a nice water effect with
moving light and bump.

o I finish at the 2nd place and I won an ACE-CD #4,
hey it was cool, I could choose between a lot of CD's :)).
The third was a sort of fire / blur motion effect with
bobs (sorry, can't remember the name of the coder) and
the last one was Zpider with nice shadebobs lines.
