Seen the demo yet ?

If not go and have a look...

(dum de dum)

... back now ?   Well what d'ya think ? - Pretty bad ?

Come on... What about the SVGA, the 3D, the scrolly, the Snake Thing (tm) ?

Ok so maybe it's not up to Future Crew standards, but it is our first remember.
It's written in Turbo Pascal vers 6 and 7 with a bit of ASM, but all the major
speed stuff was coded in COBOL and BASIC dropping down to LISP when heavy number
crunching was required. ;-)

How many UK based demo groups are there? - I only know of 1 other, possibly
another, oh yeah then there's that other one, and then there's BDS. (unnecessary
 plug! (Hiya! (I don't know 'em really))

Well I haven't seen any of their demos. So if you think this demo is awfull and
you come from the UK, then ya can go and make your own demo, and then we'll see
whose is the best (Challenge ? UK Demo makers Cup? ). We need to ignite the
demo fever. (do we?)

This demo has only been released hopefully (having some probs) over Internet
FTP, mainly due to the fact that we don't have access to a
modem/BBS knowledge/large amounts of cash for phone bills etc... So if you're a
SysOp (or whatever) please upload this to where ever demos get uploaded to.
Maybe we can write a Demo-Ad for your BBS in exchange or summat.

If you're interested in the source for parts of this demo then you can contact
us at the address below. Infact contact us anyway, we don't have many (any)
demo contacts - so if you're a lonely coder don't hesitate.

Well that about wraps it up...

Replies are definitely guaranteed by Email (due to the fact that Dentist
spends all his time at the terminal waiting for your incoming messages - Don't
disappoint him. Send NOW!! )

All music was created by Dave Hicks, His address is plastered into the MODS
(I think). So if you like his music you can contact him, tell him we sent ya,
and he probably won't know who the hell you're on about.

BTW - That source code offer is no joke, even if the source is.

In our next demo we'll show you that filled 3d polygon vectors running at 120
frames a second are possible from GWBASIC/DBASE 3+ (SQL extensions (of course)).

All artwork was designed by Swimmer expect for the bits that were designed by
Dentist, on our ZX80/81 network at home, (network sever is a proud Acorn Atom).

See ya,

Swimmer & Dentist.

The British Knights.



 P.S.  What's a Lamer ?
