!AWJuly93/Goodies/Basic/ReadMe

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

                                Animation 1,2 & 3

                            � Archimedes World 1993


The programs !Anim1,2 & 3 ,show how simple it is to animate sprites, please
refer to magazine. 

Animation 1

Anim1 displays the Archimedes World logo moving backwards and forwards from
left to right across the screen and back again. Of course you can add other 
sprites, or even change the sprite to another design of your choice.

Animation 2

Anim2 gives the appearance of a bouncing ball across the screen, it's 
plotted as a sin wave. To give the effect of a high bouncing ball, adapt
the program to suit.

Please refer to magazine for more infromation.

Animation 3

Anim3 plots 154 sprites to the screen very quickly, if you the press any
key the whole screen will then be saved. You can then of course load the
screen into !Paint, then adapt it to suit. This can be used as an ideal 
backdrop perhaps.


You can alter the listings as much as you like, to get different effects
have fun.
