                  ST-NICCC Demo
           Another ST demo by Oxygene !
                   2000-2013 :)
 


Update on 05.16.2013
--------------------
13 years later, ST-NICCC demo is improved :)

Main change:
 - The music is no more STE specific. STF owners
   have music now! It use HexTracker replay
   routine by Paulo Simoes on STF, and still
   use Lance player for STE.

Minor changes:
 - STE module replay fix (end of the music)
 - Polygon filler optimized a bit (on STe)
 - 3d dots intro part minor graphic bug fixed
 - Added a nice OXYGENE logo before credits part

Hint: On STE hardware, press F10 during boot to
      force the STF version if you want.


Original ST-NICCC 2000 text:
----------------------------

The ST-NICCC demo was made for the ATARI/FALCON competition.
This is not a FALCON demo because we don't have FALCON ! :-)
(If you want to send us your FALCON, we're agree)


System requirement
------------------
The demo needs at least an ATARI 1040 STF, but you need an
ATARI 1040 STE if you want music. (Digital sound is the only
STE specific feature we use in that demo, we use no blitter)

Credits:
--------
We made the demo in two weeks, by working very hard after
our job !

GFX (2d and 3d movie).......................Mon / OXYGENE
Music....................................Laxity / Kefrens
Main coding (PC and ST)...... ..........Leonard / OXYGENE
STE 50Khz Music player..............................Lance


Technical notes:
----------------
The main code consist of the PC scene optimizer, creating
a low bandwidth stream. That stream is then played on the
ATARI with our fast 4bp polygone routine.
I would like to greet Lance for the sound routine. That's
the fastest (and best quality) play code I've ever seen.
It takes about 30% of CPU time but this is REALLY 50Khz.


Special Thanks:
---------------
Zappy: I use your ZCB 3ds-max exporter plugin, cool job !
M-Coder: I always use you LZH depacking routine ! :-)
Anne for being so cool during these two *hard* weeks !
