academy presents ........ ??!?!?!! why am I writing with a lot of spaces between each word?? That seems to be a bit stupid,if ya ask me,man! Since i have found a total lack of cool scrolltexts on the amiga,I decided to make one myself. a little message to tristar and their 'record breaking' scrolltext: 35 K. eh?? well,i checked it up,and unless my calculator needs a new power supply,your scrolltext used about 33.9 kilobytes of mem! and you used approx. 286 bytes on your own name! First of all I must say that I have no intention to try to break scrolltext records,i don't believe i can possibly make a cool text on over 20000 bytes. oh,tristar,please don't make so much stuff with the scroller,i got a mindblowing headache (...) Well,I think it's time to introduce myself. I am Denithor,I've had my Amiga in two months now,and I sold my 64 to a jerk a few weeks ago. so now i'm coding on the amiga. i made quite a few demos on my 64,but since that's nothing to boast about,i wont. by the way,the bitmap you are gazing at with your squared eyes was made by me. well,cirion did the phone and the trashcan(he seems to be good at painting trashcans!) and i did the other junk. the aural torture was composed by our ear-executor,theron.... (God knows what he called this stuff...) He is writing some text later i suppose... in case you think i'm using any library routine or the blitter for this scroller i have to say that you are wrong.(oh,well,almost,coz i use the blitter to clear the scroll area.) using such things is cheating (...) No, this is pure skilled programming. (eh...) that sinus table was made without any sinus maker at all. i made it with patience and hard work.(two things not usually associated with the name 'denithor'...) what now then? ok,let's have the standard sentence : It's in the middle of the night and i'm tired. You might use the right mouse button to freeze the scrolltext.use fire button on the joystick to toggle between the different noises... we had a french test at school today. Personally i think it went straight off to a very hot place. c'est la vie. unfortunately i can't talk about the weather now.it is too dark to see anything at all. the soundtracker is a very mind-consuming beast! it's using a lot more that the whole memory of the 64 for one song! personally i think that's extremely ridiculous. time to slag off a few hellos and messys to a couple of my friends. hello and thanks to all the 64 freaks i had contact with,and the ones i had to stop the swapping with.(well,it wasn't a big catastrophy anyway,coz i wasn't swapping with too many persons.) hello to qual i of tetragon,you are the coolest guy in 'sverieg'! one could say you've 'spaced out' or what? sorry about all this not-so-funny jokes,but what else should i fill all the 'space' in this machine with? hello grendel! still going strong in finland.you seem to be quite a famous guy over there. how many did you have to bribe to get that famous?? i've got a weird sense of humour,but you all know what computers can do with people. hello kcf or whatever you call yourselves these days. I hope to find that address of yours in the near future. hello skywave of cosine. here's a note for you: make good music on the 64,and nobody cares. make good music on the amiga,and you are guaranteed fame! (Don't you agree,theron?) hello TSG 9001. i'll probably send you something.(like this demo) hello eoc! how's things going? i'll contact you again when i have the time. now it's time to get a good night's sleep. i'll soon let mr. Theron take over for a while,coz if i go on chatting in this style,you'll probably end up having your dinner at your keyboard. over to some new fresh blood: this is theron writing. writing an interesting scrolltext has become an art. in fact there are very few persons in this business that handles the art to the extreme limits. everyone is going for the world record in long scrolltext, but what about the quality? on the amiga the quality of scrolltexts are extremely low, on the 64 there are very few persons that handles the writing. well i guess you've heard enough of scrolltexts today. if i know denithor right he has also written something about this subject. the music used in this demo was composed on my yamaha pss 680, and then arranged on the amiga. well in fact, i only used my yamaha to produce good ideas, and this is what came out of the loudspeakers a cold and ugly friday evening. press your joystick button to switch between the two songs. the one you heard when starting the demo is called 'theronit' i always name my songs, making them more personal! (...) the other is called 'shades' and it's the most 'rock' song i've ever written. some of the sounds used in these two songs are taken from demos & games. i'm making my own sound library, and i hope that none will get offended by my stealings. if so - tell me, and i'll never use your extremely baaaad sounds again! now it's time for some friendly and perhaps unfriendly messages. first to megaforce, denmark: it's satisfying when my contacts spread our works, but why ruin the work by using the programs found on our disKS ON YOUR own packs? we're grateful for the credits on your disks, but the programs was supposed to be used and spread on our own disk with intro,addresses,atmosphere and real credits! For example you didn't mention that theron made the music, which i most certainly did! no other members of academy could achieve such a nice combination of notes put together with nice rhytms. no hard feelings guys, but stick to our rules in the future. spread our products as you receive them! (all groups are welcome to spread our single part demos - but do not tear apart compilations!) hi ian! nice that you've read this scrolltext so far - it makes you exceptional! i've not received your new demos yet, but i guess i will in near future. i'll soon make some music that you can use in coming demos, but i'm afraid i can't make heavy tunes like you wanted. ('shades' is the heaviest i've ever written!) hello petteri! you didn't expect a message did you? well here's a short one: stick to stack and make more packs! message to all contacts of academy: do not, i repeat not send letters in the future with taped stamps. i will not get your post because the local post office wont deliver any with illegal stamps on. if you want to contact academy for any reason, contact me by writing a letter addressed: roger holmsen m.bokeligt.20 3250 larvik norway i can not afford to return disks that belong to lamerheads, so please consider your status before you even think of contacting us. i guess that was all. we'll be on the scene again in short time. do wait - it's worth it (...??? ed.) And I had the guts to call it 'New fresh blood'! Well,this is Denithor again.I have to write an essay for tomorrow,on 'Nynorsk'! That's a horrible language! Oh,please note that this text is written partly on Word Perfect,and partly on Txted. So if there are too many or too few spaces somewhere,i hope it won't annoy you. This scrolltext is getting quite big anyway.Hope you don't mind. I was at a party last weekend,(with some old classmates.) and we came to the following conclusions. Note: This text is not suitable for children and people with heart problems. Ok,here they come: 1.Gays are a pain in the ass. 2.Sodomy is beastial.(according to my dictionary sodomy is anal sex,but in norwegian sodomy means animal fucking.) 3.pedo-sex is childish.(I really don't know if that is an english word,but i presume you got the message.) 4.Oral sex is a matter of taste. 5.Necro-sex is dead fun. 6.Masturbation is a handwork. 7.Group-sex is teamwork. $1988 Class 1E at larvik Gymnas.(some people might wonder what we were actually doing at that party...) Hey,i just found out another one: 7,5. Anal sex stinks... Ok,it was a bad one,I can do better than that.(I made two of the other ones,so don't complain.) Wanna contact me? No way! The few contacts i have is enough! let's show off with this sinus thing... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... looks cool,eh? Stop press! How is it possible to say 'looks cool'? why am i asking all these stupid questions? this demo is not a very professional demo,with hours of painting and so on,i gotta admit that,but i liked the result,and I hope you do as well,coz there are some hours of designing behind this program. My next demo is probably a bit more professional.Meanwhile you gotta enjoy this one. I met theron yesterday (Oh my,what a rare occation!) and he delivered me a little list with a lot of funny names on it. after hours of intense thinking i came to the following conclusion: he wanted me to write these funny names down in this text. Why i asked myself,and after thinking over a bottle of coke i thought: maybe it is to fill out the vast emptiness of the memory chips. He called it greetings... and here they come. we salute you: world of wonders-rage-dns megaforce quackers(YO rainmaker.Stop making all that rain!let it rain in sweden instead!) it (what?) Destiny Stack & x-men the lost boys(?) tetragon (we greet you twice!) Sunriders (Gentlemen,if you ride on the sun your asses will be in ashes pretty soon) The gang supervisors artic league rawdeal inc. sct united abnormal(How true!) 4th dimension (that's time isn't it?) yes (Certainly!) phenomena (No comments) wot (wet wet) election (in the 'bush'??) system ii (not to mention 3,5 and 9) whizzard tsg 9001 the whizzards (I don't know if that's the correct spelling,but you wrote 'THEron' wrong,so it doesn't really matter.) sorry about all those stupid comments,i hope i didn't abuse you! over 10000 bytes already! eclipse was supposed to write something ,but his circuits of creativity was not actually working at top speed,so his ecliptic way of speech will not characterize this top quality text. now,what about a poem?? what should the contents be? about cracking?? ok! (This was a dialogue between me and myself.) in the shadow of software industry lurks a man with his hands so free source code can't they from him hide when he cracks,they loose all pride. wasn't that a stupid poem? Theron named his music 'theronit' and 'shades' .well,i have an alternative name for 'shades': what about 'the rutting owl'. for 'theronit' i have the following suggestion: 'dustbin disco' ... sorry theron,i just couldn't resist it! school irritates me nowadays. there is so much to do! correction: there is so much that should be done!! that means to time for computing. well,almost no time... i hope you've enjoyed this text.(i hope you've read this text...) it might sound like a cliche,but i've actually enjoyed writing this.i am sorry if this text turned out to look like something people end off a text with,but you see,that's exactly what this text really is! next time i'll probably make a readable scroller and some really hightech stuff as well.(wonder how many times i've written 'as well' in this text. can't be few...) well,then. i think it's time to go now. have an adorable evening. thanks for your attention everybody! $29.10 1988 Denithor of Academy. The academic light is turning off. For some time.... .................................
