Hi there!
This archive that you have just unpacked contains a whole bunch of code
I wrote for recreational purposes between the years of 1986 and 1992. Some
of the code explores algorithm ideas (for example "fill.c" which explores
algorithms for drawing fast, filled parabolic splines); Some are useful
functions which any Amiga programmer might want to have in a standard
link library (such as SectRect and CountNodes); Some of the programs were
attempts to reverse engineer mysterious features of other computers
(See hint.c -- an attempt to duplicate HyperCard's "hint bit" system
without actually looking to see how they really did it).
Some of the code is well-commented, while some is not. Many of the
asm files were downcoded from C and contain the original C code as
comments, so that sould help. Note that this is only a small part of
what I have, I picked things that I thought would be generally useful
and easy to figure out.
As far as actually compiling the programs and figuring out how to
link them, that's something you'll have to figure out for yourself.
Most of the programs are stand-alone, and shouldn't be too much trouble.
Also, beware that some of the programs have #asm block in them, dating
back to the bad old days when I was still using embedded assembly (these
were only experiments, after all). BTW, all of the code was created
using Manx C.
Another thing to note: My tab-stops are set to every 4. If you
are used to 8-tabs then you'll have to adjust.
No guarantees are made with regards to the correctness of anything
contained therein, nor is the author responsible for any mishap that
might result from the use or misuse of this code.
BTW -- I'm interested in hearing about your neat algorithms, clever
hacks, and similar things. Or send me a copy of a program you are working
on. (Don't send me any pirated stuff though...) The best way to reach me
is via BIX as 'talin'.
I hope you find this stuff useful.
-- Talin.
