I HEAR YOU SAYING: UN-MOVEABLE BOBS ? THAT'S NO PROBLEM ! BUT WE SAY: LOOK AT THIS !!! REALLY GREAT, YOU MUST AGREE ! BUT NOW YOU'LL THINK THAT WE SAVED ALL COORDINATES AND ARE NOT CAPABLE TO CALCULATE THE BOBS ! BUT THEN HAVE A LOOK AT THIS !‚ YES, YOU GUESSED IT ! WITH THIS NICE CONTROL PANEL YOU CAN CHANGE THE PARAMETERS ! HOW TO HANDLE IT, WE'LL TELL YOU LATER ( ALLIGATOR ) ! MOVE YOUR EYES TO THE SCROLLINE !!! IT SEEMS VERY SLIGHT !!! OK !

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE ARE GREETING TO ALL OUR CONTACTS, TO ALL FRIENDS AND TO ALL HACKERS / CRACKERS / CODERS / SWAPPERS AND TO ALL FREAKS !!!!! ‚OH, I FORGET SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT: ...... SPECIAL THANX TO: ** SHIRAZ M. SHIVJI ** FOR DESIGNING THE ATARI ST, ** JACK AND SAM TRAMIEL ** FOR PRODUCING THE ST !!! THESE GREETINGS ARE UN-AVOIDABLE, CAUSE WITHOUT THESE PEOPLE THERE WOULD'NT EXIST THE MARVELOUS ATARI ST !!! HERE ENDS THE MEGA-GREETINGS ! NOW WE HAVE DECIDED TO SPLIT WRITING THE SCROLLTEXT ! HERE IS MARK ON THE MICRO !!! ARE YOU STILL WITH US ? VERY GOOD !! OK LET'S START WITH THE CRAP-TALK ! LET'S WRITE WHAT COMES ON MY MIND !! FIRST TOPIC: ATARI AND HIS SHIRAZ (?): ATARI HAS FOOLED THE PRESS !!!! ATARI TOLD THE JOURNALISTS THAT SHIRAZ M. SHIVJI HAS GOT PROBLEMS WITH HIS HEALTH AND THEREFORE HE COULD NOT WORK FULLTIME FOR ATARI !! THEY SAID THAT SHIVJI STILL BELONGS TO ATARI AND THAT HE HAD TO PAUSE FOR A WHILE ! ‚ THE THRUTH IS THAT SHIVJI LEFT ATARI !!!!! HE IS NOW WORKING FOR TANDON !!! SHIRAZ DEVELOPS NOW THE PC HARDWARE FROM TANDON !! HE IMPROVES EXISTING PRODUCTS ! ‚
SECOND TOPIC: CONTACTS !!! OF COURSE WE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW CONTACTS ..... AND IF YOU WANT TO SWAP DEMOS, SOURCE-CODES OR TO EXCHANGE NEW CODING-TECHNIQUES THEN WRITE TO US: ** AXXIS ** *** ****** * **** OFFENBURG AGAIN / ENCORE UNE FOIS / NOCHMAL : ** AXXIS ** *** ****** * **** OFFENBURG WE ARE SEARCHING FOR CODERS, GRAFIX-MEN AND MUSICIANS TO WRITE A DEMO WITH MORE THAN ONE SCREEN !! PERHAPS A LITTLE B.I.G-DEMO ?! ‚ NEXT TOPIC: AMIGA OWNERS !!!! NOW I GIVE MY 'SENF' TO THAT TOPIC ! QUOTATION ASM NR.9 1989 ( IN GERMAN ) : 'DAS WASSER IST TRUEB, DIE LUFT IST REIN, ATARI MUSS ERTRUNKEN SEIN' !! ANOTHER ONE: 'LIEGT EIN ATARI TOT IM KELLER, WAR EIN AMIGA EBEN SCHNELLER' !! THESE SAYINGS COME FROM 'EMPIRE OF LIGHT' ! THEREFORE WE HAVE SOME‚ ****ING GREETINGS TO EMPIRE OF LIGHT !!!!!!!!‚ THAT IS ONE EXAMPLES FOR INTOLERANT AMIGA-USERS ! BUT ALMOST ALL AMIGA-USERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO CAN ONLY HANDLE WITH A JOYSTICK, CONSIDER THE ATARI ST AS A LOW-COST-COMPUTER: 'NO POWER WITHOUT THE PRICE' IS THEIR SLOGAN !!!! OK !!!‚ NEW TOPIC: HISTORY OF THIS DEMO ! ‚OH ! SORRY SOMEBODY HAD SWITCHED OFF THE LIGHT !!! OK !!! THE ( LITTLE ) HISTORY OF THIS DEMO: ABOUT A YEAR AGO WE HAD THE IDEA TO CREATE A REALLY GOOD DEMO !! BUT AT THIS TIME IT SHOULD NOT BE A BOB-DEMO ! THE ONLY THING THAT THIS DEMO HAD WITH THE PLANS IN COMMON IS THE SCROLLINE !! THE INSPIRATIONS OF THIS MEGA-BOB-DEMO WERE DEMOS ON THE COMPUTER GIRLFRIEND ( AMIGA !!) !! YES, AN AMIGA !!! BUT HIS USER WAS A MASTER (?) OF THE FUNSTICK !! HE ALWAYS SAID THE AMIGA IS THE BEST AND WE WANTED TO CHANGE THAT LOUSY CRAP-TALK !!! THEN WE SAW MANY MANY BOB-DEMOS AND WE DECIDED TO CREATE A BETTER !!! I WROTE THE FIRST VERSION OF THIS DEMO ( BOB-ROUTINES AND XY-CALCULATING ) ! ‚CHRIS WROTE THE SCROLL-ROUTINE ! THEN HE CREATED A NEW BOB-ROUTINE, WHILE I WAS DESIGNING THE GRAFIX AND GIVE HIM TIPS TO OPTIMIZE THE ROUTINES !!! THE RESULT OF THIS WORK IS WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING NOW !!! ‚HOW ABOUT A NEW TOPIC ??? HEY ! MORE CONTRAST !!!‚ THAT'S BETTER !! OK !! NEW INTERESTING TOPIC: ‚THE NAME‚ 'AXXIS':‚THERE EXISTS A HEAVY-METAL GROUP WITH THE SAME NAME, BUT WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT GROUP OR HEAVY METAL IN GENERAL !!!!! WE SAW THAT LP IN THE STORE 'MUSICLAND' IN OFFENBURG !!! .... AND THE ONE AND ONLY REASON TO NAME US AXXIS WAS THE GREAT LOGO ON THE LP-COVER AND THE NAME ITSELF !!! HAVE A LOOK AT THAT COVER !!! PERHAPS YOU CAN SEE THIS COVER IN OUR NEXT DEMO !!! IT'S REALLY VERY HARD WORK TO DRAW THAT LOGO ON AN ST !!!! YOU'LL AGREE, IF YOU SEE THE COMPLEX REFLEXIONS OF THE LOGO !!! THAT WAS THE HISTORY OF THE NAME AXXIS !!! PS: ON THE AMIGA THERE EXISTS A GROUP CALLED 'AXXIS-CREW', BUT WE ARE NOT THE SAME GUYS !!!! ‚ LAST ( BUT NOT LEAST ) TOPIC: THE FUTURE OF‚ AXXIS ‚: I HAVE DEVELOPED A NEW REVOLUTIONARY BORDER-SCROLL-ROUTINE !!! MORE INFORMATION ...... IN ONE OF THE NEXT DEMOS ( HEHEHE !! ) !!! WATCH OUT FOR THEM !!! WE HOPE TO INCLUDE SAMPLED DIGI-SOUND OR MY NEW ROUTINE TO GENERATE SOUND AS THE AMIGA !!!!! I WILL NOT PROMISE TOOOO MUCH, BUT LET'S SEE !! PERHAPS A FULL‚-SCREEN-DEMO ( NO BORDER !! ) ‚ DIGITIZED MUSIC AND A WITH REALLY BIG-SCROLLER ?!?! YOU HAVE TO WAIT !! PERHAPS SOMETHING COMPLETELY NEW ???? I DON'T KNOW....... ‚OK, I THINK MY SCROLL-TEXT IS LONG ENOUGH !! I HOPE THAT YOU ENJOYED MY SHORT (??) TALK !! SEE YOU / TALK TO YOU IN THE NEXT DEMO FROM ‚*** AXXIS ‚*‚** !!!! ‚.... AND NOW I GIVE THE MICRO TO CHRIS.... HELLO , HERE IS CHRIS ON KEYBOARD !! I WANT TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE TECHNICAL DETAILS OF THIS MEGA-BOB-DEMO !! ‚ WE USE A 4-BITPANE-SCROLLINE ( 45 PIXELS HIGH / 32 PIXELS WIDE ) AND OUR ROUTINE NEEDS ONLY A QUARTER OF THE PROCESSOR-TIME !! THE REST OF THE PROCESSOR-TIME WE NEED FOR THE 4-BITPLANE-BOBS ( 16 X 16 PIXELS ). YES, YES, I HEAR YOU SAYING: THE BOBS HAVE ONLY 8 COLOURS ( 3 BITPLANES ), BUT ALL BITPLANES INCLUDING THE BACKGROUND HAD TO BE KILLED TO PREVENT A TRANSPARENT-EFFECT . IMAGINE , 20 4-BITPLANE BOBS AT THE SAME TIME ON THE SCREEN !! EVEN GREATER THAN GREAT !! THAT'S ALL ABOUT THE TECHNIQUE !! ‚ BY THE WAY, THE SOURCE WAS PROGRAMMED WITH THE PROFIMAT !! MANY CODERS THINK, THAT THE PROFIMAT IS A 'DOOFIMAT'. I MEAN, THE PROFIMAT IS A REALLY GOOD ASSEMBLER !! THE GRAFIX WAS DESIGNED WITH DEGAS ELITE !! WE REGRET THAT TOM HUDSON STOPPED DEVELOPPING SOFTWARE ON THE ATARI ST !! HE CODES NOW GRAFIX-SOFTWARE ON THE IBM AND COMPATIBLES !! ‚ AND NOW SPECIAL THANX TO ** ‚THUNDERBIRD‚ ** !!! HE HAD THE IDEA OF THE ONE-IN-ANOTHER-COLOUR-EFFECT !!! THIS EFFECT: *‚**‚**‚
**‚**‚**‚**‚**‚‚**‚ ‚ BYE ! ‚HERE IS AGAIN MARK ! CHRIS HAS NO BOCK TO WRITE ANYTHING ELSE !!! NOW YOU HAVE REACHED NEARLY THE END OF THIS SCROLLINE !!! WE ONLY HAVE TO SAY GOOD BYE !! ‚THANX FOR COPYING THIS DEMO AND READING THE SCROLLINE !!! SEE YOU IN THE NEXT DEMO OF AXXIS ‚!‚!! ‚BYE ! AU REVOIR ! TSCHUESS ! ADIOS ! ...... ..... .... ... .. . ( END OF MESSAGE )
