			ANARCHY ONLINE INTRO
			====================


	This intro is brought to you by Rex Deathstar. Two weeks
	has passed since my last intro ASYLUM!. I guess you guys
	didn't expect to hear from me again so soon...well...:)

	My obsession with colors and plasma has always been
	around since I started programming. But at that point
	of time, I wasn't too sure about the mathematics of
	plasma and smooth continuous colors. Until recently
	I came upon a book about gravity waves, inside it
	contained many strange and exotic equations, and
	so I adopted one of them here. But the problem was that
	the original equation dealt with real numbers (floating points)
	and we all know that the PCs are not good at that unless
	you have a maths coprocessor, which I don't think everyone
	has it now. So I spent a great deal of time converting the
	plasma generator to using fixed point integer maths. But
	alas, the time taken to plot one is still quite long,
	especially on a 386-33. But I think the result is still
	worth the wait...
	The color mixing technique where the two plasmas are drawn in
	alternating pixels to produce a palette of >256 colors first
	appeared in "UNREAL" from Future crew. Since then, many demos
	have used it to produce some very interesting routines.
	As for the text generator, the idea came from the assembly-93
	intro 'ASM-93', also from Future crew.


	    Enough said, just hope you enjoy the intro and music!

		---------------------------------------------

	Intros I have released so far...:-

1.	RAGEFIRE.ZIP (a replica of fire, adapted from 'fire', 386+ only)

2.	REXINTRO.ZIP (Introduces myself, Rex Deathstar, as a new graphics
		      coder in the scene...386+ only, uses VangelisTracker
		      and supports SB,SBPro) BTW, ShellVT is real slow!

3.	ICHIBAN!.ZIP  (My first BBS AD intro, used to the routine in
		       RAGEFIRE, but used purple smoke palette, 386+ only)

4.	ASYLUM!.ZIP   (My second BBS AD intro, features 3D dots and a
		       starfield, with a particle system text generator.
		       386+ only)

5.	ANARCHY.ZIP   (My third BBS AD intro, features color-mixing
		       plasma and a MOD player. supports SB,SBPro.)


	My next intro will feature a landscape flyby, hope to create
	some warp disorientation! Watch for it!
