Transcription of the Scroll Text:
YO LAMER!... NAH! THAT'S NO GOOD START, IT'S ALLREADY BEEN USED BY SOME SWEDDISH WEIRDOS! SO, HOW DO YOU LIKE: HELLO THERE, I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE IN THIS DEMO WITH THE BEST GUYS AROUND, WHICH MEANS THAT I'M ONE OF THEM NOW... AAARRGGGHH! DEFINELY TOO LAME, IT REMINDS ME OF THE LAMEST CREWS AROUND STARTING WITH AN OV... OR A STAR... IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I MEAN, DON'T CRY, YOUR BRAIN WON'T HAVE TO ERASE THESE LAMERS NAMES FROM ITS CELLS... WELL, THAT DOESN'T SOLVES MY PROBLEM, HOW AM I TO INTRODUCE THIS SCROLLTEXT IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAN ALL THE ALLREADY WRITTEN SCROLLTEXTS THE WORLD HAS READ???...... I KNOW!!! I'LL JUST HAVE TO CREATE THE ANTI WRAP SO, LET'S PARW!!!...SO, NOW THAT THE SCROLL HAS REALLY STARTED, GET READY FOR A LONG LONG ONE BECAUSE I'VE GOT LOTS OF STUFF TO SPEAK ABOUT!!! LET'S START WITH THE LITTLE STORRY OF THIS DEMO SCREEN IT ALL STARTED ON SUNDAY THE 10TH OF JUNE. AT THAT TIME, I KNEW THERE WOULD BE A COPY PARTY DEMO FOR DELTA FORCE'S CP BUT, WHEN I LEARNED THAT NO SCREEN FROM US WOULD BE FINISHED, I DECIDED TO CODE A LITTLE THINGY, EVEN THOUGH I HAD BIG EXAMS A WEEK LATER AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR ME TO STUDY THAN CODE. BUT, NEVERTHELESS, I THOUGHT THAT, FOR ONCE, I WOULD BE ABLE TO EXPRESS MYSELF IN A SCROLLTEXT WITH NO LIMITS LIKE: 'THIS GAME WAS CRACKED BY... CREDITS FOR THIS INTRO GO TO... GREETS TO...' (BORING, ISN'T IT?). SO, I STARTED CODING ON THE EVENING OF THE 10TH OF JUNE (I KNOW, THIS WASN'T CODED DURING THE CP BUT I COULDN'T COME ANYWAY, AND SOMETHING IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN NOTHING). MY INITIAL PROJECT WAS TO MAKE A SCRAPPY SCROLLER AND SOME VECTOR GRAPHIXX WITH COMMENTS LIKE RED SECTOR'S VECTOR BALLS DEMO (AMIGA), BUT, MAKING UP OBJECTS WAS SUCH A BORING THING THAT I DECIDED TO LET THE USER CHOOSE BETWEEN THE OBJECTS I ALLREADY HAD DESIGNED. THEN, I STARTED CODING THE SCRAPPY SCROLLER BUT (DID I TELL YOU I ONLY HAD 3 DAYS TO MAKE THE WHOLE DEMO, AND THAT I STARTED WITH NOTHING MADE, NOT EVEN GRAPHIXX???), AS ALWAYS, I REALISED THAT I WOULD MISS THE TIME (SHIT! IT'S HARD TO TYPE A BIG SCROLLER WITH ONLY ONE HAND! WAIT TILL I FINISHED DRINKING..........................AHHHH! I FEEL BETTER NOW, IT'S REALLY HOT AROUND HERE IN MARSEILLE IN JUNE, AND IT'S GONNA BE HOTTER IN JULY. ACTUALLY, THE TEMPERATURE IS OF 25 DEGREES (IN THE DARK, SO, IN OPEN GROUND, THERE MUST BE A COOL 35 DEGREES (THIS MEANS I WON'T GO TO THE BEACH!!!)). SO, WHAT WAS I TELLING YOU??? OH, I REMEMBER, LET'S CONTINUE TO BORE YOU TO DEATH FOR A FEW MORE KILOBYTES BEFORE GETTING TO OTHER SUBJECTS!!! NO! DON'T LEAVE! I'M KIDDING), LET'S RESTART WHERE WE LEFT: 'I WOULD MISS THE TIME (REAL TIME: HOURS, MINUTES, SECONDS) TO MAKE THAT FUCKY SCRAPPY SCROLLER, SO, I DECIDED TO STOP THE SCRAPPY AND ADD A FEW OPTIONS TO THE VECTOR GRAPHIXX. ( YES, THERE ARE HIDDEN SHAPES!!! PRESS DIAGONAL KEYS!) FINALLY, IT TOOK ME 3 MORNINGS AND 3 EVENINGS TO COMPLETE THIS NOT-VERY-GOOD-SCREEN-BUT-YET-NOT-SO-BAD-EITHER (WHAT A NAME! IT BEATS THE KVACK-KVACK AND GRODAN DEMO FROM TCB) THAT MAKES ABOUT 20 HOURS OF WORK ON THIS STUFF, STARTING WITH NOTHING ELSE BUT MY VERY FIRST 3D ROUT (IT HAS SOME BUGS LIKE: NO CLIPPING AND APPROXIMATIONS ERRORS, BUT HEY, THAT'S MY FIRST ROUT, I'LL IMPROVE IT WHEN I'M FINISHED WITH THE PHALEON DEMO'S MAIN MENU (ANOTHER BIG WORK TO FINISH!)). FINALLY, ON THE 13TH OF JUNE (NIGHT), THE DEMO SEEMED TO WORK PROPERLY , AND I DECIDED IT WOULD BE EASY (WHAT A MISTAKE TO THINK THAT!!!) TO REMOVE THE TRAPS AND THEN WRITE A SCROLLTEXT NEXT MORNING, JUST BEFORE GIVING THE DEMO TO PATRICK. BUT, OF COURSE, THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SYSTEM VSYNC BY MY OWN ROUTINE DIDN'T WORK AT ALL!!! MY ROUT WAS GOOD AS LONG AS THE VECTOR OBJECTS DIDN'T NEED MORE THAN A FRAME TO BE CALCULATED. WHEN THEY DID, THE WHOLE STUFF WASN'T SYNCHRON!!! AND THAT HAPPENED 1 HOUR BEFORE THE MEETING WITH PATRICK. I DIDN'T FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT WORK IN TIME, SO I HAD TO REPEAT TWICE MY SYNCHRO ROUT TO FIX THE MESS. BUT THAT MEANT ALL MY OBJECTS CALCULATION TIMES WERE DOUBLED (AARRGH!!!) ANYWAY, I GAVE THE SCREEN AND OFF IT WAS TOWARDS THE COPY PARTY, AND OFF I WAS TO LEARN FOR MY EXAMS ALL I DIDN'T LEARN DURING CODING. NOW THAT THESE F.....G EXAMS ARE OVER, I WAS QUITE PLEASED TO LEARN THE CP DEMO WASN'T FINISHED, AND THUS, I'VE DECIDED TO FIX ALL THAT DIDN'T WORK. THERE WERE ONLY 3 BUGS!!! AND NONE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE ELSE THAN FROM AN ESTHETIC POINT OF VIEW. ANYWAY, IT TOOK ME 4 HOURS TO FIX 'EM: 1 MINUTE FOR THE SCREEN WIPING ROUT BUG (YES, I'VE INCLUDED THAT ROUT BECAUSE, WHILE I WAS TESTING SOME OPTIONS OF THE DEMO CONTROL PANEL (WHAT? I DIDN'T TELL YOU THERE WAS A CONTROL PANEL? TOO BAD, I WON'T GIVE YOU THE KEY TO IT UNTIL THE END (GNARF!!! ARF!!! SADISTIC LAUGH)) I HAD SOME GRAPHIXX BUG (THERE ARE NO MORE NOW BUT THE OPTION IS STILL HERE)), THE HARDEST BUG TO FIND WAS A STRANGE THING HAPPENING TO THE SCROLLER: LITTLE DOTS WERE APPEARING FROM NOWHERE!!! IT TOOK ME 3 HOURS TO GET TO IT, I JUST HAD FORGOTTEN TO WIPE THE EXTEND BIT OF THE SR!!! (YES! I USE THE LAME ROXL METHOD, BUT LOOK AT THE SIZE AND NUMBER OF PLANES OF THIS SCROLL! PRESHIFTING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN OF NO INTEREST AT ALL!!!), LAST, THE SYNCHRO BUG, IT TOOK ME 1 HOUR TO MAKE A NEW ROUT WORKING WHATEVER THE NUMBER OF FRAMES HAD PASSED. AND NOW, I'M ABLE TO WRITE THIS SILLY SCROLLER IN MY DEMO. PHWIEW! THAT WAS A LONG TALK ABOUT CODING, SO LET'S HAVE A PAUSE BEFORE CONTINUEING!!! (THE SCROLL IS ACTUALLY 5462 BYTES LONG).
