cashcow by Aardbei [web]
cashcow runs under windows only, and there will never be a dos version, since dos belongs in a museum ;) i have absolutely no clue how much mem it needs, but i think 32megs should be more than enough. this thing was coded on a p2-450 with 128 megs and a tnt2, and it runs fine on that (doh), it also ran smooth at a p2-400 with a tnt, and i haven't been able to test it on anything slower, except for a p90 with 96megs and a dx2/75 laptop with 16megs and a 640x480x256 res, and yes, it actually worked on those two ;) i think it should run pretty well on anything above 300mhz. this slowness is of course not my own fault, but windows' =) oh, it probably won't run under NT.. sorry for that, but i dont have an NT machine available, i will install it soon tho, and if enough people (1 or more hehe) ask for an NT version, i will fire up the debugger and find the fuckin bug! okay, some useful things: - put a star (*) somewhere in your commandline, and the textures that are generated will be saved to disk. if the textures are already present, they will be loaded, so they dont have to be calculated again and again.. - put a "w" in the commandline to run the intro in a window. you can switch fullscreen/windowed during the intro by pressing alt+enter. if you don't have a 512x384 fullscreen mode, you will be windowed, and of course this alt+enter shortkey wont work :) - press esc or alt+f4 at any time to quit the intro right away - press alt for pause ;) - press alt-prntscrn for a screenshot some personals by snq: - the other dutch aardbeien: boe! - ile & rob: special tnx for atg and 3d! - nix: special tnx for your ixa lib! - freddyv: also tnx for usmplay (but improve it pleeeeease) - oyise & jacmet & otis: tnx for testing - you must be wondering if i did anything myself on this one by now :) i can tell you that i spent more time on it than i have spent on any other demo/intro so far... - inopia: i should really call you, but i keep forgetting :( thanks for existing ;) - sceneorg ppl: we are never greeted, well this one will start the revolution, from now everyone will want to greet us :) - shortcut ppl: tnx for liking the colors =) - ruud: heeje heh, das potverdikkie me maatje! okay enough of that. if for some reason, the intro won't run.. feel free to tell me about it, so we can release a fix for that, and also have your problem fixed in future productions. any comments are welcome at snq@scene.org or visit http://aardbei.scene.org
