Fluoro by Nutters.
------------------
This demo needs a StrongArm Risc PC with at least 6 meg of RAM and 1 meg of
VRAM. It was developed on an ARM710 but it chugs on it, so don't bother! :)
Also it is an absolute necessity to link your Risc PC to a decent set of
speakers (i.e. ones that can cope with BASS! The music DOES have a lot of it
and it is wasted on the crappy internal speaker :)
"Fluoro" was compiled in one week and finished at 5.10am on 5th July 1997 after
pulling a complete all-nighter. We hope it was worth it. :)
Fluoro was the winner of the Revelation Demo Party on 5th July 1997.
Released on 17th July 1997 after a little tweaking.
All code by Chris of Nutters.
Graphics and Styling by Marcus and Ade of Reverse Nation.
Music remixed by Distant Signal.
Production by Alex of Nutters.
Digital Symphony Player © BASS.
All code, music and graphics © Nutters and Reverse Nation 1997.
Cheers to Saint for the loan of his StrongArm Risc PC. :)
Greets to other abscent Nutters: Dan, Nick and Oli.
Next time maybe. :)
This is the final release of Fluoro and can be spread by any method you want
(Internet, BBS, floppy disc or CD-ROM). Please show respect for our work by
not altering, adding or removing any of the files in the application.
We would also like to keep track of the distribution of the demo, so if you
have put it on your BBS, Internet Site, CD Rom or PD Disk please email and
tell me: Chris Hubball, ee5cph@bath.ac.uk.
History:
--------
Nutters were formed in the summer of 1995, kind of as a joke. We were bored
and we decided to work on demo, something that would be different on the
Acorn scene. This demo has so far had 3 different names, and several
different styles over the years. At last we have something we're happy with
(at least, we'll be happy with the final release when it's finished :)
We've tried to capture the look and feel of PC demos which are, in our
opinion, a thousand times better than anything on the Acorn. This is our
first attempt, future ones will be better and less constrained by time. :)
It's about time the Acorn scene had something more than bleepy trackers,
grafitti graphics, naff 4 year old routines and coders with huge egos. It's
time to move on into the 1990's. This is our first step, hopefully others
will follow.
There will certainly be a follow-up to "Fluoro" but on what format we're
not sure yet. We may branch out onto the PC, we may not. We'll see. :)
(And no "we hate the PC" e-mails please. The Acorn scene has far too many
childish idiots proclaiming this. We like to use the best machines for the job,
and if the PC happens to be the best for the purpose of graphics/code/whatever
in the production of our demos, so be it. Whinging 12 year-olds in Acorn t-shirts won't
change this. :)

Here's a copy of the ReadMe file that should accompany the demo:
Fluoro
======
Running
-------
To run Fluoro copy it out of the archive onto your harddisc, then double
click on the !Fluoro icon. You may experience glitches in the music, this
is due to Digital Symphony and/or various IDE cards. It has been tested on
the standard Acorn interface and the RapIDE without problem.
Screen Mode
-----------
Fluoro runs in a standard Acorn 480x352 256 colour mode, but if you don't
have that monitor definition use the one provided by us inside the !Fluoro
directory (it is the Acorn default).
Distribution
------------
This demo may be freely distributed over BBS's and the Internet etc. Please
show respect for our work by not altering, adding or removing any of the
files in the application.
We would also like to keep track of the distribution of the demo, so if you
have put it on your BBS, Internet Site, CD Rom or PD Disk please email and
tell me: Chris Hubball, ee5cph@bath.ac.uk.
