Boing is a packet of small Boingball Anims for Amigas with GFX Card. An AGA Version
follows as fast as possible and is still in development. Comes probably with the next release
Advantages:
Real transparency on animations even on OS 3.5 and faster than animated gifs.
Systemfriendly blitting on transparent window.
Enhancements over the former 1.06 version:
+ You can choose between different anims
+ Sound available if you want.
+ Blinking can be turned off.
+ timeout can be set for one anim.
New in Version 1.30:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I built the anims in 3 different sizes, you can choose from 80x60, 70x52 and 60x40.
Respectively big, middle or small. I decided to do so, to better cope with classic 68 k systems with
different cpu power and hope this matches most needs.
Also fixed several bugs and optimized the programming code.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can set X and Y coordinates also blinking values.
To exit the animation simply click on it once.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tooltypes:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
xpos: x-position on screen
ypos: y-position on screen
blink: negativ values result in faster blinking, positive values result in slower blinking. Default =-60
a value of "0" stops blinking
vblank: you can alter this value to get a faster or slower anim, default value=5
Useful values are between 3 and 7. Note, smaller values result in higher cpu load.
anim: Here you can choose between different anims, at the moment there are 4, put in 1,2,3 or 4.
Anim 1 is meant to be something special, simply wait for timeout and you will see.
Hope you enjoy this little thing. Therefore it takes a bit more on RAM than the other anims.
Anim 2, 3 and 4 take about 2 MB Fastram, anim 1 takes about 6-7 MB. Anim 4 is same as
anim 1, except timeout and the additional animations of anim 1.
sound: Here you can turn on sound, setting "1" = Sound on, "0" = Sound off
Note, you must have AHI installed for this. Only affects anim 1. If sound="0" no sound
will be loaded, set this off, if you have problems with sound or no AHI installed.
timeout: Here you can set timeout in seconds, from 60 to 3600 sec., only for anim 1, the other anims
are not affected by this. Time is not precise at all and is in conjunction with the values putting
in vblank switch.
animsize: You can set the size of an anim, "0" = big, "1" = middle, "2" = small
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: GFX Card and fast CPU, recommended 040/060
Os 3.5 minimum and 16 MB Fastram
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Minumum Screenmode of 800x600 is recommended.
following Screenmodes supported: 16 Bit PC, 24 Bit BGR, 32 Bit BGRA
does not function on 8 bit, 16 Bit and 32 Bit ARGB
Installation: really simpel, just put the content of the archive in the WBstartup drawer, then alter the
tooltypes to your needs.
Tested on A 1200 Tower, Blizzard 68060, Mediator LT4 on Voodoo 3 3000 ,
other Systems not tested yet, but should run on most classic machines and UAE or NG.
Developed with Amiblitz 3.5.
Special thanks to Wanderer and Blackbird on amiforce.de for their patience and allways good support
on Amiblitz 3, maked the coding things much easier for me.
Best regards
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bugs: Not really a bug. If you start boing and an open window covers the area where boing appears,
then boing cuts out the background of the window instead of the WB Background. Nothing
serious can happen, because the blitting is on an transparent window. Only close the window
and close boing, then restart boing and everything is normal. No graphical trash is left behind
and the machine will not crash.
If other really strange things occur, please report, if any.
Have Fun,
Joachim
