- Now in the Archive is:
-
- Fractasia v1.58
- Shareware from
- Analog Concepts in Digital
- (c) Jan. 1993
-
- FRAC1.ARC - Main Program (side 1)*
- - Example .SET files (side 2)
-
- FRAC2.ARC - Jeff Potter's ColrView program.
- - Many pre-generated .R.G.B files.
-
-
- Fractasia is a fairly elaborate Mandelbrot Set generator that generates
- Fractal images in Atari OS modes 3,5,7,8,9,10,11,15 and even supports
- ColrView for 160x192x64 resolution. I obtained Jeff Potter's ColrView
- and APACview programs a short time ago and, since I was already doing some
- fractal programming, I decided to combine the two. (Fractasia only generates
- the .R .G .B files and ColrView is required to view them).
-
- Additional features include:
- Save/Restore/Resume calculation.
- Variable size and proportion ZOOM BOX.
- Color Cycling (of OS modes).
- DMA on/off.
- SpartaDOS X compatibility. (Will not function under SD3.2).
- Works GREAT from a hard-drive.
-
- In the Works:
- Fractal Landscapes.
- APAC support.
- A Fractal Animation Package. (Animated Zooms and Pans and such).
-
- The Program was developed under SpartaDOS X and is written in Turbo Basic
- (compiled) and will function on any machine that Turbo Basic programs will
- run on. (Fractasia has also been tested under AtariDOS and variants).
-
- Fractasia is ShareWare. A completely voluntary $5 donation is suggested
- but if nothing else, I would like all users to fill out the registration
- form so I can keep you informed about updates.
-
-
- NOTE: This program has not undergone any 'real-world' testing yet!
- I have debugged it the best I could on my own (with the help
- a couple Beta-Testers). Bugs are bound to show up and I
- encourage you to alert me of any you find. There are many more
- freatures that I would like to add, but I want to be certain
- that this version works properly.
-
-
- Peace,
