2. GENERAL INFORMATION

  Planet Alpheon is a contribution to the demo competition at Mekka & Symposium 2000,
  held in Fallingbostel in Germany. It's intended to run on a computer with a 3D
  acceleration adapter. It will probably be our last demo, before we start taking our
  education seriousely (tm).
  
  For MP3 input and sound output, the Nullsoft Nitrane MPEG Audio Decoder plugin and
  the Nullsoft DirectSound Output plugin was used. 

  Clax (by BoRZoM) was used for spline interpolation and 3DS loading, although it
  needed to be heavily modified, to suit our need for a bug-free and fast demo.

  We are aware of the poor mixing of the soundtrack, but we didn't have time to do
  much on the music.

  We are looking for jobs in our respective professions, so please contact us.

  This demo was originally attempted entered into The Gathering 1900's 3D-accelerated
  PC demo competition, but the competition was cancelled due to the lack of entries.
