Oh SHIT, not another vector demo...   Yes, I'm afraid so. Another soft wanker has written a piss-poor routine and expects everyone to love it. This time the soft wanker is me, Critical Mass, short-notice member of Anarchy. And this time the piss poor routine isn't really that bad. Things get better in a short while, honest.     So, now that no-one is reading (and if you are, you shouldn't be) I can dribble on for a while about this little effort I put together. It was started almost 3 weeks ago, initially just a shitty little convex routine with bugger all features. Every day something new was added to it until the version you see now contains (deep breath): Fully inconvex objects, 1-6 bitplane, stippling, lightsourcing, 'glass' tyoe polygons, circles, lines, revolutionary clipping routine that is VERY fast, vectorballs, infinite no. of independant objects, unlimited hierachy of rotation (whatever the fuck THAT means), projection of objects onto planes surfaces, 'proper' depth sorting (not just Z value shit), re-use of repeated objects for smaller data (eg only the data for one cube must be tyoed if you want 6000, for example), and a limited sort of animation language which will soon be superceded by a far more advanced, 100+ command, my-language-pisses-on-yours version. This will probably be coded after I come back off holiday.     Now, a few greetings.     Hi to everyone at the party (this is a perty, isn't it?) where this preview is being shown. Special hellos to Judge Drokk, who rang me up tonight, and Mr Big, who stood behind him and shouted a lot. Oh yes, and before I forget, thanks for giving me plenty of time to finish this, Judge Drokk. I had almos a whole evening to put all these FUCKING BASTARD OBJECTS into it. Not that I'm annoyed at all or anything. Most of the irritation caused was my own fault, as I wanted some objects out of an earlier version of the routine and it wasn't compatible! Oh, the fun I had! Is Dan there? If so, thanks for telling everyone about this puny effort.   Hi to some people who definately WON'T be at the party:   Mentor / Oddyssey who's routine still can't touch this one.   Void / Odyssey: Sorry I left this crap music of mine in but yours was too long.   Skynight / Odyssey: Profoundest apologies for leaving the group.   Comatose / Odyssey: Hope you get back all right. Did you manage to kill any of your family this time?   Clarky / Ipec Elite: I really like this one. Send back SOON.   Dagger / Odyssey: Sorry, it looks like you won't be getting any logos from me now.   Psico / Argon-or-Odyssey-I-don't-exactly-know: Good luck!   Now, back to bullshit. This text-scroll is VERY VERY LAME INDEED, and I mean coding AND content. I couldn't be fucked writing a propper scrolly at 2:30 in the morning so this is just a scroll through memory. Ouch. Oh yea, that's a point: if I don't stop writing. I'm going to run out of memory. Shit. Ok, never mind. This worst thing that can happen is that some of the text might have to be chopped o
