Demo tested on/with: WinUAE
Requires: Amiga 1200 030 4mb fast
How the demo works: Puzzle presents a new demo called:


Zoo
--------

Code: Hexagon & TrickTrax

Graphics: Deckard

Music: TrickTrax




INSTALLING ZOO:
Copy all files to the same directory.


RUNNING ZOO: The demo will skip the intropart if run with less than 1.7MB
chipmem.
PZLZOO.EXE also has to be executed from the dir in which the
.DAT files are.

Sorry! Sad


INFO: This is really the demo where everything went wrong!

Zoo was originally meant to be released at The Copenhagen Party
but due to some real nasty bugs it was postponed. Assembly
seemed to be the right place to release it, so we found the
bugs and improved the demo. But the troubles wasn't over. The
very last changes (rename of files, PROGDIR:, modulechanges etc)
resulted in new bugs, which have been impossible to track down,
and after more than 3 weeks of bughunting in vain, we had 2
choises left:

1. Throw the demo down the drain
2. Make it work the best we could

We chose the latter, even though we don't like to release stuff
with bugs! We heard about many cancelled amigademos for the
Assembly and decided that we wouldn't be one of them.

We have to move on and look foreward, so there will never be a
bugfixed version of Zoo. Sorry again! Sad

BTW: The endscroller can be paused with right mousebutton.


KNOWN BUGS: Spritebug - The suckin' sprites appear even though they have
been turned off with the DMA. We could change all our
copperlists, but time has run out.

PROGDIR: bug - For some odd reason PROGDIR: doesn't seem to
work with multiple executeables & includes, so we had to make
a lame bat-file, which have to be run from the directory in
which the DAT-files are placed. Sucks!

Mysterious bug - NO idea what this is, but it sometimes causes
the demo to crash at the phong-texturemapping part. This
happens VERY rarely on 030/50, so we haven't been able to find
it (who knows, maybe it's gone by now).


REQUIREMENTS: The demo is optimized for A1230, but will probably run on an
A1220 with 4MB ram, which also is the minimum. At it's early
stages, Zoo was tested on A4040 & A4060 and ran fine with the
use of setpatch. Hopefully it still does.
