... LIVE AT -FOREVER QUATRO- CIVITAS DESIGN IS PRESENTING TO YOU A DITHERING INTRO DEMO ... RICHARD IS HERE ON THE KEYS PRESENTING YOU THIS PIECE OF CODE, WHICH HAS BEEN SPECIALLY MADE FOR FOREVER QUATRO AND OF COURSE CIVITAS DESIGN ... BEFORE I START THE BORING BITS, HERE ARE THE CREDITS FOR THIS INTRO/DEMO... CODE BY RICHARD... 1X1 CHARSET IS C64 DEFAULT CHARSET... DITHERER BY RICHARD... BITMAP LOGO WAS DRAWN BY ZEITGEIST (I THINK)... THIS PIECE OF MUSIC WAS COMPOSED BY RICHARD... OKAY, NOW THAT IS THE CREDITS OUT THE WAY, I'LL WRITE A SCROLLTEXT... WELL GUYS AND GIRLS, WHAT D'U THINK OF THIS DEMO? I PROGRAMMED THIS DEMO, AS IT WAS SOMETHING OF A CHALLENGE FOR ME TO DO, AND THAT WAS TO CREATE A DITHERER ALONG WITH A BITMAP AND ALSO SOME SCROLLTEXT... LATER ON IN THE FUTURE, YOU PROBABLY SEE SOMETHING BETTER THAN THIS BY ME... I DON'T WANT TO GO ANY FURTHER ABOUT THIS DEMO, AS IT IS NOT TOO IMPORTANT! OKAY, I THINK IT IS NOW TIME FOR ME TO PASS THE KEYS TO TWO OF MY FRIENDS AT CIVITAS DESIGN ... SO I'LL LEAVE YOU FOR A SHORT WHILE AND I'LL PASS THE KEYS RIGHT OVER TO LORDNIKON... :) OKAY, DUDE, FIRE AWAY :) OKAY HERE IS LORDNIKON ON THE KEYS... SO WHAT SHOULD I WRITE? THATS THE QUESTION. OKAY THIS LITTLE CIVITAS INTRO SHOULD HAVE A MEGA SCROLLER AMD A MEGA SCROLLER SHOULD HAVE A MEGA TEXT RIGHT? YEAH OK. OK SOME NEWS, THERE IS A CO-OP PROJECT OF TND, TELENOVA AND CIVITAS. WE WANT TO MAKE THE THIRD VERSION OF RIVER RAID. ITS CALLED RIVER ATTACK STARRING RICHARD AS CODER OF THE MAIN GAME. JSL AS GRAPHICIAN AND ME AS CODER OF THE GAME INTRO. THE RELEASE DATE IS UNCLEAR. WE WILL SEE :) OK, TO ALL AT THE FOREVER 8-BIT PARTY! HAVE FUN THERE! SOME GREETS FROM LORDNIKON TO BAZE, YERZ AND JTR WHO SURELY BE THERE. OKAY THATS ENOUGH FROM ME. BYE BYE! :) YO! RICHARD IS BACK ON THE KEYS SOUNDS INTERESTING DOESN'T IT HUNH? I'M INVOLVED WITH SUPER GALAXYS PROJECT AT THE MOMENT, BUT WHO KNOWS! LATER ON THIS YEAR WE MIGHT COME UP WITH RIVER ATTACK BUT IT WONT BE VERTICAL SCROLLER, IT WILL BE HORIZ SCROLLER :) THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE! SOMETHING WHICH LORDNIKON FORGOT TO MENTION WAS THAT I WILL BE DOING THE MUSICAL SCORE FOR THE GAME AS WELL... OKAY, ENOUGH WITH THIS BANTER, IT IS NOW TIME FOR ME TO PASS THIS SCROLLTEXT OVER TO ZEITGEIST :) OVER TO YOU DUDE!! ... ZEITGEIST ON THE KEYZ NOW ... AREADY FEELING 90S? I MEAN HELL, DOES ANYONE STILL USE THIS "Z" INSTEAD OF "S" STUFF :) HUH AM I COOL. LET'S SKIP TOPIC. I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU FOR YOUR OPENING MINDS ON AN INTERESTING MATTER. SEXUALITY AND ARISTOTELIAN MESOTES-THESIS. TO PUT IT PLAIN: DOESN'T LOVE JUST RUIN SEX AND DOESN'T SEX OFTEN RUIN LOVE? AN INTERESTING QUESTION. I JUST READ A MASTERTHESIS ABOUT SOME DAYS AGO. AND IT STRUCK ME, SO I THOUGHT I TELL YOU, AND YES, MAYBE IT'LL STRUCK YOU, TOO. FURTHER ON THE AUTHOR EXAMINES WETHER THE "PERFECT" SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP IN AN ARISTOTLIAN SENSE WASN'T JUST A RELATION OF DEEP FRIENDSHIP, ACTUALLY THE MIDDLE (M SOTE) BETWEEN PERFECT STRANGERS AND DEEP LOVERS. IN AN ARISTOTELIAN SENSE, THE ARGUMENTATION HAD POINT THERE. ALTHOUGH I'M SURELY ABRIDGING THE THESIS TOO HARSHLY, WHICH MIGHT LEAVE LITTLE GAPS HERE AND THERE. EVERYONE ASLEEP ALREADY? HEJ, THAT LEAVES ME TO END THIS SCROLLER AND HAND OVER TO THE NEXT IN THE LINE (DUM-DI-DUM "I KNOW I STAND IN LINE UNTIL YOU THINK YOU HAVE TIME TO SPENT AN EVENING WITH ME..." DUM-DI-DUM ... HELL, WHERE'S THE BIG-BAND TO ENTER NOW :). AND JUST TO LEAVE AT POINT WE'VE STARTED (YES THE 90'S!:), I'LL GO FOR IT WITH A LITTLE GREETZ, WHICH ARE OF COURSE IN RANDOM ORDER: SURELY ALL CIVITAS-MEMBER ALREADY HAVE BEEN GREETED A DOUZEN TIMES WITHIN THIS SCROLLY, SO ...
