Light [cft] by CorridaSoft [web]
And God said light and there was light,
and God saw the light and it was good,
and God divided the light from the darkness.

What, why, who and with whom?
This is a CorridaSoft demoproduction. 'Tis a one man endeavour
through the valley of magic and great obfuscation.
'Tis a juggling of the possible in the context of the creative
mind of a salmon. 'Tis day and light combined in a phosphorus
media of todays milennia. 'Tis a demo.

I had a demogroup one's (time's a strange concept) on the PC
VGA scene. Coding in DOS and all a that. Now I'm in the land of
milk and honey called Windows. Sure 'tis a glorious OS, praise it :)
Coding was done in handoptimized assembler on a CRAY so don't
expect it to be fast :=).
I'm and oldskooler yeah I know.
(3) Demo Info
It is all coded in C++ for windows using Direct3D Retained Mode.
Good ol┤ MIDAS sound system used.
Demo contains jpeg compressed pictures decompressed in realtime to
save space. The jpg files are decompressed into the cache directory
to bmp format, loaded into memory and then deleted directly. I didn't
have time for a memory loader and Direct3D has not one sample for
doing this although it is supported.
All the 3D meshes are made and texturemapped inhouse.
Music composed in ModPlug tracker.
You think it's too short a demo? Hmmm... I tried to think of more but
stayed here, because it was whole and could not be manipulated into
another shape or state, or it would no longer be called Light, as in
the warm light of the sun or the lightness of a feather.
(4) History
In the year 1995 a demogroup was founded by Herbsman and Paulus
called Prophets. We made some demos for the DOS platform using
Borland Pascal 7.0 and inline assembly. It ended in early 1998 when
we had surpassed our youthly excavations into the soil of silicon
mysteries.
Not until now there is a production worth showing on the Windows
platform due to learning of C++, windows API and the recent hardware
accelleration availability on the normal consumer market. Although it
is a one man job I hope it is diverse enough to appeal to you.
