DiVE DiVE by UniVerse Who stands behind the DiVE: Greenpix7 as the main graphics artist/designer Manwe as the main musician/designer Programmer as the one and only coder Whoever control the spice, control the UniVerse: Programmer as the main spice owner and coder Greenpix7 as the best graphics artist Tech: DiVE demo authors could be found in the internet, http://surf.to/universe DiVE was coded in Borland Pascal 7.0, and tested on the different machines. DiVE uses Midas Sound System 0.4a DiVE can be controlled by commandline params. DiVE.EXE 2 - Run from the second part DiVE.EXE birthday - Run happy-birthday part Known problems: Demo works wrong under Windows, when you're using SB16 compatible card. Entering high DMA may help. Demo works too slow on the old videocards, for e.g. ISA ones. Some history: So, here is it. The demo, which was under construction for two years. DiVE. This demo was delayed several times because of different reasons, due to it's "unfinished - looking - feeling", due too old effects there and so on. When I started coding it, it was only a small 64k intro. Then it became larger and larger, up to the size you see now. A lot of people (mostly from Russia) saw the graduating of DiVE, some of them thinks it's ok and good,some of them not. As for me [Progger] and Greenpix7, DiVE is just a horrible thing which must be immediatly deleted from our HDD's, imagine: If i spend a hour (at least) a week coding it, so 4 hours/month, 48 hours/year (;)))), and 96 hours for the two years, and every hour I look it in about ten or more times... I think that our lovely SunFlower will be boring after 1000 times of looking.. So , imagine how do we 'love' DiVE. :) And furthermore, I worked more then 48 hours/year on it. Anyway. For now it's finished, happy end, or, as the americans say it's the "success story'. If you will not run it 1000 and more times you, definetely will like demo at all or just some parts of it (different effects, you know). For the old-style lovers I've included some secret parts into DiVE demo,you may have fun running it. [For now I will say only one key, you can find other in .exe, so the key is birthday , for e.g. dive.exe birthday , it's the birthday greeting part for [Pychic Symphony].
