──-─- STATE: Jelly -─-──
══════════════════════════
Release date: 2nd April 1996
Howdy, this is the NFO for STATE: Jelly, a demo created by
FTS in 1996. This demo was made to compete in the OZ'96
demo party held in Sydney, Australia, and was placed 4th by
the interesting voting system. ;) This final release has some
improvements on the party version, but mainly just the fact
that the end credz scroller now exists. The other things were
speed compensation and the odd bug & unfinished thing.
Yeah, yeah, I know that OZ'96 was held over 2 months ago, but
it's better late than never, right? :)

.Misc.
You can't run State: Jelly under Windows 3.x and probably 95,
thanks to Midas killing both of them. I have no idea what
will happen under OS/2, but you could give it a try. This
demo should work on any bootup config, as long as there is
about 500k free conventional memory, and 500k free EMS. You
NEED EMS, so you'll need emm386 or qemm or some other memory
manager.
The minimum config to run this demo is a 386 with the above
stated memory available, but it would be so slow... It was
really written for the DX4-100 party machine (which,
incidentally, was replaced by a DX2-66 for the compo), so it
should be nice when run on that. One thing to bear in mind is
that Midas will default to 44.1kHz, 16bit sound if it detects
a SB16 (or compatible) even if you have a nasty old 386! So
keep your eyes open while you're starting the demo up...
.Stats.
STATE: Jelly was coded in Borland C++ 3.1 with lots of inline
assembler. Who knows how many lines of source there is? And
who cares anyway? It plays for 8:20 if you let it show all
the greetz at the end. If you're impatient and can't stand
greetz, don't read the rest of this document - go do
something useful... Such as watch this demo - it will only go
for 3 minutes if you don't want greetz.
Oh yeah, [ESC] quits the demo at any time. Well, that is if
it hasn't crashed. (not that it will crash much.)
