OT: What wont they be able to fit on a gaming CD??

This link is a download that is 64K in size.....but shows about a six minute presentation. I thought it may be interesting to developers etc. for their games and information distribution. Of course, up to date Direct X drivers are the key. http://www.nodnetwork.com/fr08v101.exe

and exe on a newsgroup from an unknown url ... hmm, that's far too dodgy for me sorry :) Barney wrote in message <3bf3a06f$0$12164$[email hidden]>... >This link is a download that is 64K in size.....but shows about a sixminute

Yes, sorry guys for the .exe file. But how (on any news group) do you post one that doesn't cop the wrath like Racecrafts (and rightfully so). I have no need for this type of program, but I figured that the news group that I lurk in had some people who might after all the discussions of home built driving simulators. Sorry for the scare and for those who can use it.....good luck.

You did it the correct way. Posting a link is ok. You could maybe have posted a link to a page telling what it was and had a link to the exe itself. > "Barney" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:3bf3a06f$0$12164$[email hidden]... > > This link is a download that is 64K in size.....but shows about a six > minute > > presentation.

Pet peeve mode on: Now you just need to stop top-posting and may even want to use a reader that can handle nested replies. (As you see above, "minute" is indented differently from the rest, even if it was part of the same posting.) -- -asbjxrn

The silents, sanity, melon.... I remember 'em, spent more time watching those demos on my amiga than playing any games on it! www.theparty.dk cheers John

wish I had a link for you, but I don't... the scene is, I believe, alive and well... and I think all those old C64 demos and such should run on the emulators, if you're interested. Curtis "JM" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:T1VJ7.13451$%[email hidden]...

MadOnion. That's what happened. Someone worked out you could count the speed the demos play at and sell them. Whatever happened to treemark? -- Spadge Fromley ''collect your rubbsih and in my belly it will go ...''

That's one thing. Another is that the demo programming work pioneered the terms we assosiate with 3D images today. Wasn't it a Finish group of programmes who invented the term texture mapping ? And after the arrival of 3D accelerator cards and API's (RRedline, Glide, OpenGL and Direct3D) the interest seems to be lost AFAIR. -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying

Which is why I still give Geoff Crammond the sentimental vote for doing some truly beautiful things with a software renderer in GP3. Of course, except for a handful of users it's a moot point, but his engine has always been beautiful compared to what others did in software. Stephen
