MUG SHOT! (c) 1990 Chet Walters
You may upload this demo anywhere or give this demo to anyone you
please (and please do) so long as all of the files remain together.
HOW TO GET YOUR MUG SHOT! DEMO up and running:
The files listed below must reside in the same directory for MUG SHOT!
to run properly.
MGSHOTD!.PRG the program
MGSHOTMD.RSC monochrome resource
MGSHOTCD.RSC medium resolution resource
These demo .MGS file can be loaded:
FAMOUSD.MGS a small sample of the FAMOUS_01.MGS data file
TUNES_1D.MGS a small sample of the TUNES_01.MGS data file
That's about it! Put the program, resources and .MGS file into the
same directory and then double click MUGSHOTD.PRG to have some fun!
The demo runs for only a short time so have fun fast! There are some
features disabled but there's enough there to give you a good feel for
the program. While you're running MUG module, don't be afraid to try
the RIGHT mouse button as well as the LEFT one. The RIGHT button is
the "turbo speed" button. The ALTERNATE key in conjunction with click
gives you "super turbo speed" on some functions. SHIFT click does some
things too, try it! There are keyboard equivalents for most of the
buttons and they are located on the numeric keypad and cursor keypad.
The DRAW module has no keyboard equivalents, but you'll be using the
mouse almost exclusively. Look to the top of the screen for some
hints and help.
Don't throw this DEMO away! Included with this demo is a mere fraction
of the FAMOUS and TUNES files which come with MUG SHOT! There will be
other .MGS demo files circulating as they are compiled. The MUG SHOT!
Demo version can load _ANY_ .MGS file just like the real MUG SHOT! If
you don't like this sample file, check out the others. You may find
one that's to your liking. Additional data disks are only $19.95 for
MUG SHOT! and WizWorks! plans to upload some around the BBS's that are
absolutely free, too!
MUG SHOT! will run on any ST with a minimum of 512K of memory and one
double sided floppy drive. It runs in 640 x 400 monochrome, 640 x 200
medium resolution, or any size big screen monochrome monitors like the
M24LMax (Jay, you gotta come up with an easier name to remember) and
Moniterm. If you have a hard-drive, just make sure all the files above
for the program are in the same directory and it runs just fine!
MUG SHOT! gives you parts to make faces and other things. It all
depends on which data file is loaded at the time. With the release
disk comes the TUNES_01.MGS data file containing some of the goofiest
looking parts to have great fun with! (demo available for download or
on the demo disk too) It also has the FAMOUS01.MGS file from which were
gleaned the FAMOUSD.MGS MUGs. More data disks will be available soon
and the first: Mr. Potato Head and MADTUNES drawn by our artists
Doug Bartholomew and George Fenton are already in the compilation stages.
You're gonna love Doug's work and George has a style that's pretty unique.
Each data file contains up to 50 parts in each of the ten parts bins of
MUG SHOT! Now let's see...... That's 50 to the tenth power just to
start with which makes....
9,756,250,000,000,000,000,000
possible combinations! But, it doesn't stop there. Each individual
part can be flipped along the horizontal axis so we have to do that
again. That makes it...
95,367,431,640,000,000,00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
possibilities. And, you can also flop each individual part along the
vertical axis, too, so that makes it...
909,494,701,770,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, (continued)
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
possibilities. But wait! What if you combine the flip and flop? Then
that makes it...
827,180,612,540,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, (continued)
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, (continued)
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (whew!)
possibilities. But! Not only can you do all that, you can also "split"
EACH part into TWO parts (here we go again!) so that makes it...
impossible to list here
(in fact, our wonderful 16 bit computer went into overflow on that
little calculation!)! But we're still not fininshed! You can shrink
or enlarge EACH individual part from zero to MUG SHOT! window size so
that makes it...
well, you know.
BUT if that doesn't impress you, maybe this will. Even if, after
sitting there well into the next century trying to see all of the
combinations available to you with that particular .MGS data file you
finally grow tired of "just seeing the same faces over and over," all
you have to do is just load in a brand new .MGS data file and start all
over from scratch with brand new parts!!! With MUG SHOT! you'll never
have to say, "Gee! Is that all there is?"
And with a full store of drawing tools right in there with some really
unique features found in no other program, it just "ain't all there is
at all!"
We at WizWorks! feel that with MUG SHOT! we've finally managed to
define the infinite.

We invite you to expiriment with some new features by clicking on various
parts right in the MUG SHOT! window itself. Try it! You'll like it!
By the way, the FAMOUSD MGS file was compiled so that you can make the
faces of these famous people WITHOUT the need to resize any parts:
Andrew "Dice" Clay Jane Fonda George Steinbrenner
Geraldo Rivera Jesse Helms Rob Lowe
Ollie North Joe Piscopo Quaker
Patrick Swayze Andy Warhol Barbara Walters
Remember, this file was specially formulated so that the correct parts
which make these folks fit together with their matching counterparts.
That also means that the parts for each of these folks will not fit
too well with other folks. In other words, if you have Jane Fonda's
chin and Geraldo Rivera's hair, they won't match without some adjustment.
In the real famous MGS file that comes on the program disk, the parts
have been adjusted so that they will all fit together nicely without
the need for much adjustment.
But with that remember too that MUG SHOT! at least has the ability to
allow you to adjust the parts individually! NO other program of its
kind can do that! Amazing flexibility!
If you don't want to cheat, then try to put these faces together without
looking at the ANSWERS.TXT file. After you've had some fun, then go
ahead and look at the ANSWERS.TXT file (print it if you can) and run
MUG SHOT! Just press the space bar and enter the proper numbers for
the faces you find in the ANSWERS.TXT file. Yup, they're there alright!
