Sillies/!RiksClock/!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.

It's a Clock, What do you need help for!!
Instead I tell you about Light Magic, my big
project at the moment.
Light Magic is a Ray Tracer that is faster and more
versatile than any of the other around for the arc.
By the time its finished it should have some of the
following features :-
Texture mapping
Bump mapping
Blurred shadows/refelection etc (for frosted glass effects!)
24 bpp output
lots of primitives
motion blur extension
wireframe preview
Almost constant time regardless of number of objects
no user interface (well, who needs em)
plus zillions of other features to numerous to mention
and it'll be in the public domain!!!
Watch this space (not for too long)
If you want any info about the clock or light magic
I can be contacted as follows :-

Please note: This dies at the end of July (ish).
