| | "Graphics" Docs Update and Demos | | Posted by Csabo on 2003-03-26 |
The documentation for Graphics utility has been updated to V2.1 by SVS. The <-ARC function is now fully documented. He has also translated some BASIC demos enclosed in the package, and written some brief programs to demonstrate the power of this package. Download them all in a ZIP file here.
If you've looked at this utility, you realize that it's really a wonder that this was created. Easy 3D is BASIC on the Plus/4. We hope that the original creator of this package will be found one day. Until then it's just one more of those unanswered questions we've all been searching for... |

| | New stuff from Skoro/ASN and Tron Lamer Team! | | Posted by Csabo on 2003-03-18 |
Tron Lamer Team released some fresh digi stuff in order to warm both your TED and your SIDcard.
Skoro of Assassin Crew finally finished his old Memory project. He also released the 2nd half of his big games cheats collection, called Help To Games 2, and a new issue of Mini News is also out. Too bad that this last one is in Hungarian, because it contains some comments regarding the infamous Reddi/SCN story from years ago...

| | Heartfixer Released | | Posted by Csabo on 2003-03-17 |
 Well, we're a bit late on reporting this news, but better late than never. Luca and bubis have released their cooperation demo "Heartfixer" (named after Luca's music that's featured in the demo).
There are simply no words to describe this thing, it's one of the best single file demos ever written on Plus/4. The quality of the effects, the style and the execution in this demo is just unparalelled in our scene.
The demo won 1st place in the mixed compo in FOReVER quattro, well deserved. We can only hope to see more productions like this in the future. |

| | A Rare Package Discovered | | Posted by Csabo on 2003-03-15 |
 This newly discovered package will amaze you! (Probably) never before seen by almost anyone... SVS has found this rare gem, an graphics utility package, simply titled "Graphics". The name may not be too imaginative, but it can do wonders!
We don't know at this point who developed this, but some of the basic commands the package implements are in Italian. We are also not sure about the year, SVS says it's 87-88.
Check out the details page for the download, documentation and an image gallery! Two things to remember: all of these images were created with this package with only a few lines of code. Second, the documentation by SVS is still not complete, he is still working on reverse-engineering it. I took the liberty of converting it into HTML though, since some of our visitors can't read the .DOC format. |

At the same time we'll work on getting the instructions added for all 3 so watch this space! As always we are pleased to receive support which in turn makes Plus4 World a bigger and better place for us all. :-) Cheers once again Ulysses777. |

| | PSYCHEDELIA - A Light Synthesiser | | Posted by MIK on 2003-03-06 |
 Psychedelia has to be one of the most unique titles ever to land on the C16/Plus4. For the first time you never got the chance to kill anything, there where no goals to reach and you could not lose. So what the hell did we have to do?
Psychedelia was infact a tool or as Jeff Minter said "an entertainment" where you could create your own light show in-time with music. This in itself is a concept that has never changed since that day! Take a look at WinAmp or Media Player, they all have plug-ins and in a similar way all display colourful graphics in-time to music. Of course with the limited spec of computers back then Jeff could only do so much, but what we do have was a remarkable achievement way ahead of its time.
Many thanks go to www.ukretro.co.uk for sending this title our way which in turn has allowed us to add the cover and full instructions for Psychedelia to our database! You may be surprised to find there is a whole range of options to play with and even the facility to record over 5 minutes of joystick inputs to memory! You can find the latest Psychedelic update right here! |
