Demos/!Dance/!Help
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.

Dancer Version 1.00 May 2nd 1991 ================================== This is one of those silly Desktop Accessories that everybody has, in the vein of DeskDuck, although it is far more flexible. It features a stick man dancing on top of the icon bar. Load in the usual way, by double clicking on the !Dance icon. To start the dance, you must double click on a dance file or drag it to the backdrop. The man will then continue to dance, until you start a new dance or you click on Quit from the main menu (accessed by clicking menu on the backdrop). Dances are filetype 258; I chose this at random (well not quite, my birthday is on the 25th of August), but it can easily be changed if it clashes with any others. I can't be bothered to request my own file type from Acorn and there probably aren't any left now anyway. I would like to take this opportunity to appologise for Dancer. I can see no point in using elegant programming techniques for such simple applications, Dancer works so thats all that matters (although it is very inefficient in storing dances and so takes up a lot of memory and it is quite slow to redraw the man.) I am open to suggestions for any improvements or bugs in Dancer. If you lead a particularly sad life and you feel like editing some stick men to create a dance I may even send you my crappy little Dance Editor and some instructions. If your life is almost as sad as mine, you may want details of the Dance file format so that you could write a RISC OS version. I might even write a RISC OS version of the editor if I can find the inclination after I have finished my A'levels, and who knows I might even put it in the Public Domain. This is only likely to happen however if there is enough demand. I invisage a world where everyone with an Arc has a RISC OS version of DanceEdit and they spend all there time creating new moves for the Dancer. They also swap there best dances with others and there are annual competitions with prizes even bigger than in snooker (speaking of which are the 4th Dimension ever going to release Break 147?). But then that that might be beacuse I am mad. I hope you like using and are satisfied with Dancer. If so, tell your friends. If not, don't go blaming me. Standard boring Copyright Notice: All program code and the contents of the supporting files are copyright � myself Lee McGinty 1991. The only exception to this is this copyright message, which you can feel free to place on any of your own software for distribution. Dancer is "Shareware". You are free to give this application to anyone you please via any medium, provided it is delivered with all the supplied files, unaltered. If you wish to post it on your bulletin board or include it in your shareware library then that is fine. You may not sell this application, except that shareware libraries may make a nominal charge to cover disc duplication and postage. You have permission to use any part or the whole application in a project you intend to place in the public domain (why?), as long as I am fully credited, but not in a project that you intend to sell unless you tell me and pay be some money. The reason that this application (thing? I think that we need a name for these Desktop things.) uses up a lot of memory is because of the inefficient way dances are stored (using Basic arrays) which means that memory cannot be grabbed from the pool because arrays cannot be redimensioned and it is tedious to do as well. In theory, very large dances could be used although I have not designed any yet. The dances supplied with this application are very simple and do not take advantage of the software in any way.

Please contact me; If you find any bugs in the program. If you have any ideas for improving it. If you want a copy of the Dance Editor. (This is a simple Basic program that does not use the desktop, written for my own purposes.) If you think I should write or RISC OS version of the editor to put in the Public domain or if you want to. IF you have an overwhelming desire to send me some money. Either way, please include an SAE and a disc (if appropriate) with some P.D. software on it, as I am a poor student and cannot afford such luxuries as stamps.
