XENO engine version 1....amendment

 I fixed a few bugs in the code and recompiled...giving the result found in this ZIP file...
 and PSKO2.EXE is included here as a bonus...
 Also a new addition is the inclusion of the SOURCE CODE!

   To compile it You will need: 
DirectQB from ENCHANTED CREATIONS (http://echome.hypermart.net/)
PACK1.PKG-included
PACK2.PKG-included
PACK3.PKG-included
PACK4.PKG-included

about the .PKG files: 
PACK1-PACK3 are really BMPs [open inside MS-PAINT to view them NOTE: all three use the exact same palette]...
PACK4.PKG contains the map data in text format...This is used by the LOADMAP subroutine, follow along to figure out the format

Sorry it isn't commented [I never do that anyhow] but it shouldn't be to difficult to learn from or modify [all I ask is that you give me credit]...

    Enjoy!
   

PSKO.EXE...
 This proggy is just a test to see how a 3D, alien like landscape, routine would perform for a planned vertical scrolling shooter [it isn't quite fast enough on my PC]...The only controls are "+" and "-" to speed up and slow down the scrolling rate ["ESC" quits]...The number in the upper corner is just a Frames Per Second counter [it updates once every second]...It was done useing the goraud shaded polygon routine from DQB [again thanks Angelo!] and a palette rotation routine [I had written] for the 'waves'... 



[what follows here is from the original README file]



XENO engine version 1
12/18/98 by MA SNART [Darren Morris]


NOTICE: THIS PROGRAM REQUIRES AT LEAST A PENTIUM TO RUN EFFICENTLY


This ZIP should contain the following:

 XENOv1.EXE - The main proggy

 PACK1.PKG
 PACK2.PKG  - These are needed by the EXE
 PACK3.PKG    and MUST be in the same DIRECTORY as the EXE 
 PACK4.PKG   



INSTRUCTIONS: 
Just UNZIP the files within into a single folder then run the XENOv1.EXE...



CONTROLS:

UP ARROW - Move the frog forward

LEFT ARROW
RIGHT ARROW - these turn the frog LEFT/RIGHT

"-" and "+" KEYS - ZOOM in/out

"A" and "Z" KEYS - RAISE/LOWER the viewing angle

ESC KEY - quits the demo


KNOWN BUGS:
 The 'Z-buffer' doesn't always work correctly and as such XENO will exibit some clipping problems

 The FROG may not always go in the direction he faces...

 On closeing the demo may leave you with a blank screen...I can't seem to make it reistablish then default VGA SCREEN 0 palette...Hmm...even though it's black type 'EXIT' and you will return to WIN95...
