- 3DSCROLL
- Author: Tony Barker, Sydney, Australia
-
-
- This demonstration illustrates many of the colours that are now part of
- the extended colour palette of the STe. At any one time, there are
- approximately 500 colours being displayed on the screen.
-
- We have also included a single channel sound mix sampled at 12517Hz. This
- will replay through the internal speaker on your monitor. Alternatively,
- connect the STe to your sound system using the two RCA jacks on the back
- panel, sit back and enjoy the music!
-
- On an STe configured for PAL, 3DSCROLL operates at 50 frames per second
- compared to about 4 frames per second doing the same operation with only
- the MC 68000 in use.
-
- Timing factors may upset the program on an NTSC machine. To overcome
- this problem, we suggest you run the 50/60 Hz patch file in your AUTO
- folder. This program was placed in the public domain to overcome some
- of the early problems associated with Spectrum 512 on the Australian PAL
- machines.
-
-
- TO OPERATE:
-
- - Double-click on 3DSCROLL.PRG to launch this demonstration.
- Yes! 3DSCROLL may be launched in either low or medium resolution.
-
- - Toggle the SPACE BAR to pause the bouncing balls. Pressing the
- Q key will exit 3DSCROLL and return you to the desktop.
-
- - Be sure to connect your Atari STe to the loudest "ghetto blaster"
- you can place your hands on and pump up the volume. Enjoy!
