- INTRODUCTION
-
- If you haven't seen the demo yet, stop reading!! :-) However, if you
- encountered any problems while running it, you may find the solution
- below.
-
- This demonstration took part in the Assembly'94 PC demo competition,
- where it came third. We would like to thank all the people who voted
- it; we hope to keep improving our work.
-
- On the legal side of things, Iguana and everyone who contributed for
- the demo will not, in any case, by any means, no matter what happens
- or what damage should appear, be liable for it. This software is not
- supposed to do anything else than what it does when you run it. Thus
- it is not assumed to be suitable for any particular purpose; we will
- not assume any responsibilities, expressed or implied, about it. You
- know what we mean, don't you?
-
- The package can be distributed freely without modification. No money
- can be charged for it, other than standard fees for access to a BBS,
- or the cost of the material the demonstration is recorded on. It can
- not be used to add value to a commercial product; however, shareware
- distributors can put it in their collections, be it CD-ROM or floppy
- disks and similar computer media, as long as it's sold together with
- other shareware of public domain programs in the same package; never
- can this demonstration be alone in the sold package, or be the first
- reason to give the customer in order to get him interested.
-
- The demonstration can be used in computer shops in order to show the
- power (or lack of power) of a machine running it. If you're in doubt
- whether you're doing correctly or not regarding this limitations, do
- not hesitate to contact us.
-
- ├───────────────────-─----·-··· · · · · ···-·----─-─────────────────────────┤
-
- TROUBLESHOOTING
-
- First of all, to run this demo you need at least a PC compatible 386
- or above computer, with no less than four megabytes of RAM, a VGA or
- compatible card and a hard disk. To fully enjoy it we recommend that
- you have at least a 486/33 processor, a Gravis Ultrasound with 512Kb
- of RAM and a local bus video card. SoundBlaster, SBPro or SB16 cards
- or 100% compatible cards will also allow you to enjoy the music that
- accompanies the graphical experience, but not with such quality like
- the Gravis or GUSMax cards. SoundBlaster REQUIRES 2400Kb of EMS.
-
- We have thoroughly tested this program in many machines with several
- configurations; for example:
-
- - 486DX2/66 with 12 megabytes of memory, an ISA ET4000 VGA card and
- a Gravis Ultrasound card with one meg, running under MSDOS 5 with
- the QEMM 6.0 memory manager, Smartdrive, some mouse driver. Other
- configurations on this machine were a clean boot, boot with HIMEM
- and no other TSR, boot with QEMM and no other TSR, etc.
-
- - IBM PS/VP 486DX2/66 with 14 megabytes, a S3 VGA in motherboard, a
- SB Pro 2.0 card, with CDROM and Ethernet drivers loaded, the demo
- running from a doublespace partition and connected to the network
- using NFS. Also, of course, tested on this machine with all those
- drivers removed, including a clean boot test.
-
- - 386SX/16 with 5 megabytes, 386MAX 6.0, TCP/IP and IPX drivers and
- shelling out of a telnet terminal emulator, the demo running from
- a Novell network drive. However, it looked rather poor due to the
- slow processor and the lack of music.
-
- In the infortunate case that you want to run the demo without sound,
- you will need to specify a serial port that will be used as a timing
- device. You'd rather specify a port with no devices connected to it,
- such as a mouse or a printer. We know this sounds really strange but
- that's the way we chose to do things.
-
- If the demo doesn't work (hangs or stops with an error message):
-
- - Turn on your computer and try again. (Yes!)
-
- - Check that the sound parameters (card, port, IRQ, etc.) are OK.
-
- - Try it without sound.
-
- - Try a clean boot without CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT (no SB!).
-
- - The SPACE key will allow you to skip parts; so if the demo always
- hangs at a particular point, skip that part.
-
- - Go to a friend's house and watch it there. We're sorry.

- ABOUT THE AUTHORS OF HEARTQUAKE
-
- This demonstration has been created by some spanish computer freaks.
- We all share a common interest in computer graphics and music, which
- has led us to join together and create this piece of wanna-be-art.
-
- Aside from that, we're all much like you may be. We all have to eat,
- sleep and concern with other biological deeds you know. :) If you're
- thinking (let's hope not) that we are more skilled than you and that
- you could never get to do things like this demo, probably you've not
- tried. You never know what you are able to do until you do it.
-
- All of us are/have been/will be interested in using our knowledge in
- commercial projects, especially videogames and publicity. If you and
- your company would like us to create a custom demonstration, you can
- contact any of us and explain us what kind of graphics and music you
- would like to represent your company in the demonstration.

- Voice: ++34-1-415-84-99 Ask for Javier (Jare) or Juan Carlos (JCAB).
- If we're not home, maybe nobody will understand what you say,
- unless you speak spanish!
-
- Snail-mail: Juan Carlos Arévalo.
- P.O. Box 2295
- Madrid-28080
- Spain
-
- The best way is Fido or Internet. Don't use voice unless you have to
- tell us something really important. Also, we cannot guarantee a fast
- reply, especially thru snail-mail. Your best bet there is to include
- a self-stamped (in spanish) addressed envelope with your address.

-
- Now for the harsh ones:
-
- Sonic: If you don't think that you must apologize for what you did
- at the Assembly'94 competitions, then you are the worst kind
- of lamers. We truly hope we never see your name or faces again.
- The best that could happen is to see your group disappear.
-
- Addy Santo: You must give us credits when you use our code and our
- music system. How stupid can you ever get to be? We just asked
- that you mention us, it doesn't cost you anything. Then, looking
- at your work, maybe it's better not to see our name in it.
