Organizátorûm Fiaska'99
■Toto intro není TO Introtation, které
se pou¿têlo na minulém Fiasku ('98).
■Má dvê verze podle jazyka (çesky nebo anglicky).
Pokud by to bylo moæné, chtêl bych, aby
çeská verze byla ta, která by se pou¿têla na Fiasku'99 a
anglická verze byla ta, která by se pozdêji distribuovala,
byla na serveru Vÿhnê, ke staæení na internetu atd.
■Chodí to i pod Windows, ale má to rad¿i DOS.
■Staçí mu nêco málo p⌐es 64kB volné konvençní pamêti, nemêl by bÿt problém
■Pracuje v x-módu 256x256 p⌐i 256ti barvách.
■Vhodnou zvukovou kartou by byl jakÿkoliv SoundBlaster (kromê
nejnovêj¿ích druhû, které se starÿm Sounblasterem nejsou
kompatibilní). Nebo taky jakákoliv "SB-compatible" karta.
Pod GUSem to jde p⌐ehrát jen, kdyæ emuluje SoundBlaster :-)
Digitální samply by mêla zvládnout kaædá karta kompatibilní s Adlibem.
Zatím to chodilo pod kaædÿm Soundblasterem, na kterym jsem
to zkou¿el, takæe by s tím nemêly bejt problémy.
■P⌐ehrává zdigitalizovanou i MIDI hudbu (formát XMS), pouæívá FM syntézu
i DMA p⌐enosy. Zvukovku hledá na portu 220h, kdyæ neuspêje, tak na 240h
a potom na 230h a kdyæ neuspêje, pak digitalizovanÿ zvuk nep⌐ehrává.
Pokud vám pomûæou následující údaje..
■Pro 386ku a vÿ¿
■napsáno v Pascalu v realném reæimu
■zdroják má 470 kB a 7780 ⌐ádek!
■zpakováno WW (pûvodní velikost 112757 bytû)
■pouæívá interní p⌐ehrávaç formátu XMS (nêco jako MIDI)
■Nenechte se tím znechutit :-(

NOTES:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ General:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-"Introtation" was a name of intro that competed at 8th September 1998
at Fiasko'98 party and it occupied the last position (5th of 5).
It was designed to slow computers (about 33 or 40MHz) and 'cause it
wasn't synchronized with timer it "jetted" on the fast compo computer
after it was executed very quickly and has disposed in few seconds.
I fel (and still feel) shame about it and therefore I decided to
make a second version, that may proof what intended the intro to show :-[
-This intro is ·NOT· the '98 version of Introtation.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ GFX:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-The intro uses special x-mode resolution 256x256 in 256 colors.
Every proper VGA card should handle to set this resolution (I think).
-As everything in video memory is done in one 64kB segment, there is
no need of VESA BIOS 2.0 or above.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ SFX:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
There are two players in the intro:
-simply VOC player that uses DMA transfers to play digitized samples
-MaDoKaN's XMS player that uses FM synthesis
INTROTATION supports:
-any SoundBlaster card with Digital Sound Processor (DSP), version 1.00+
including AWE series and any SB_compatible card.
-those sound cards that emulates the SoundBlasters (GUS etc.)
-INTROTATION is attempting to find SoundBlaster on ports 220 or 240 (hexa)
to play digitized sounds. If it didn't succeed, it simply doesn't play them.
-XMS player also supports Windows Sound System, but never mind
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ Memory:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
INTROTATION allocates:
-a 65280 (0FF00h) bytes long buffer for the virtual screen
-a 1314 (522h) bytes long buffer for XMS module header
-nothing else, all other data are stored in data (or code) segment
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ Languages:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
There are two versions of the INTROTATION according to language:
-the Czech language version (intro_cz.exe)
-the English language version (intro_us.exe)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ Other:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-It was made in BP7.0, (real mode target) :-(...
-...and packed with WW.
-optimized for 80386 or higher
-Thanks MaDoKaN for his player!
-Support Czech and Slovak demoscene!
-and mainly:
DON'T GET DISTTRACT BY MY HORRIBLE INTRO! ;-)
