- -= PHRO =-
-
-
- System Requirements:
- - 386+ computer. 486dx2-66 recommended.
- - A standard VGA card. Local-Bus recommended.
- - 580K conventioal memory (500K EMS is necessary for Sound Blaster owners)
- - Optional sound card (GUS, SBPro, SB).
-
-
- Details:
- Phro was made to compete in Hastanan's 2 minute intro competition.
- The rules were: the intro could be any size, use only standard VGA modes,
- and be no longer than 2 minutes long. Anything else goes.
-
- Phro was a huge rush job, I coded it in 4 days. The reason for this is
- the deadline for the compo was right during my final exams :( That is
- why some of the routines are very unrefined.
-
- In order to get the full effect of the intro, it should be run on a
- 486dx2-66 machine with local bus video and a UltraSound card. On this
- setup, the intro will run for about 100 seconds (the judging maching is
- such a machine :) Since I didn't have any time to sync any of the routines
- the duration of the intro will vary widely from machine to machine (it
- will crawl on a 386). The duration of the routines is determined by the
- number of frames, not a timer or the music. This due to lack of time.
-
- Also, those memory requirements aren't etched in stone. You _do_ need
- EMS memory for Sound Blaster playback, but that conventional memory
- requirements vary. I just put down values I know work :)
-
-
- Info:
- - Coded in Turbo Pascal v6 and Assembly. Source is about 8000 lines
- long (not including the sound code).
- - Sound routines used is BWSB v1.19 which is available from
- teeri.oulu.fi /pub/msdos/programming/mxlibs directory (blatent plug :)
- - The music is a short 10 pattern tune by Stalker/OTM.
