One Night Stand by Quantum Porcupine

one night stand
a crappy demo done in one night by Quantum Porcupine
yay

information: well, everything you need to know is on the exit screen except
for these little bits:

1. this was coded mostly in pascal, except for the vertical linedraw in
pascal and the "larusse" routines which were in 286 assembler (TASM hates me
and no matter what I do I can't get 386 code which works at the same time...
weird...)  also, small bits (i.e. screen copies) were in 386 assembler.  in
other words, this is in no way optimized, and i'm surprised it runs even this
fast.

2. i have no idea what Wog's talking about.

3. i'm very fucking tired and so i've decided to just finish this piece of
crap up instead of trying to make it, say, have an ending (more than the
sadistic smileyface which all of you have already gotten from me anyway)

So blah.

in the music, i wrote it. i also did some nifty gfx but i didn't feel like
putting them in.  but in the music, most of the samples are ripped except for
the breeze (got that off of a Crash Test Dummies CD) and the open/closed
hihat (got that off my Yamaha PSR-400)

well i'm about to fall asleep, and with this intro i just followed Wog's
instruction and made some cheezy effects and slapped them together with a bit
of music... at least i know that i can make a whole demo (not necessarily
a GOOD demo, but it can be done! :)

good night before i fall asleep on my keyboard.

(Epilogue: I worked on this until 5:00 AM on 1/17/96 and slept through all
my classes.  So I just worked on it a bit more.  If I see a reason to make
a release-version, then I'll add in the nifty graphics.  Anyway, you DON'T
want to see how it was at 5:00 AM today, trust me! :)

By the way, please choose either Gravis Ultrasound in stereo or NoSound(tm),
because I wrote the song for stereo and other cards don't work properly (not
enough memory for the mixing buffers).  If you free up enough memory with
QEMM, you *should* be able to use an 8-bit mono soundcard though (or a 16-bit
card in 8-bit mono mode :)

Oh yeah... memory requirements: about 520k conventional if you have a GUS, or
about 620k conventional and 256k EMS if you don't have a GUS.

And if you ask my opinion, I don't trust NoSound not to crash your computer.

BTW, you can turn off the video retrace checking by putting /R on the
command-line.


Okay, here's the actual greetz:
