Requirements:
-------------
2MB of RAM and - if you want to _enjoy_ it - at least an ARM3
and 12MHz RAM. I don't know if it runs along RISC OS 2 since
I don't have access to such machines.
Metamorphosis was written on an A5000 and designed to make
good use of this machine's potential. It also runs fine on
the new RiscPCs.
In the linker part F1/F2 de/increases the volume. Outside of it
this won't work.
Changes in release 2:
---------------------
These are rather minute. First of all a cache flush is forced
before calling any of the selected parts. Next the bob plotter
which used to be self-modifying in the original version, was
replaced by a static variant. This has resulted in a speed
penalty of approximately 0.74% which is basically undetectable
so I replaced the old version entirely rather than offer different
versions for older machines and StrongARM. The sound module which
used to be self-decompressing was replaced by the actual module
and should hopefully work now. Last not least the texture mapper
in the linker part got a little faster (1 cycle per pixel less).
Due to the size of the textures and the ensuing cache misses this
hardly shows, though.
If you want to contact me, here's where to write to:

Alternatively you can reach me via email during German
University terms (outside of which you'll still reach me
but an answer might take some time...):

Now enjoy the demo,
