The date - November 15th 1990. The time - 9.45am. It's the day before the Christmas Commodore Show 1990 and this READ_ME file is being written especially for the new AMOS DEMO due to be shown publically for the first time at the AMOS Seminar which will take place at 12 noon tomorrow (Friday the 16th) in the Novotel Exhibiton Centre, Hammersmith, London. This demo, once again, has been written by me (Peter Hickman) in conjunction with Mandarin Software. I'm not sure what to say except that I hope you like the demo, and if you aren't one of the 25,000 people who have bought AMOS, rush out and buy it!. It's the best language to hit a micro since STOS appeared on the Atari ST. My thanks in producing this demo must obviously go to: Colin White ~~~~~~~~~~~ (devoted friend and constant late-comer!) for doing most of the graphics. Carl Brazier ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gas man and general nice person. Carl always offers his car in times of need (like rushed computer shows!!!) and is really into AMOS 3D. Sandra Sharkey ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For regularly keeping me up to date with the amazing AMOS PD Library. (Congrats on winning the CDTV, Sandra!) Francois Lionet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Bow bow, scrape....) I must thank the great Lionet for being (as usual) quite brilliant. Daisy Lionet ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The amazing dog/programmer who wrote the original ball routine which I have adapted and used for this demo. Gary Symons ~~~~~~~~~~~ Assembler freak Gary has been giving me a hand with AMOS VIDI, what's that I hear you ask? Stay tuned to Amiga Computing to find out more..... Alastair Craig ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For keeping me in touch with non-AMOS PD. Richard and everybody at Mandarin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For the good ideas and support. Aaron Fothergill ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For even more ideas, and for showing enthusiasm for everything I do! Adam Fothergill ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The mega graphics artist who created the graphics for the hardware scrolly "AMOS IN ACTION" part of this demo. They actually come from a game called Yomo which was released on the ST as part of Mandarins Games Galore collection. It should soon be available on the Amiga so look out 'cos it's a really nifty game. Everybody at Voodoo Software ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For the brilliant Xiphos and AMOS 3D. Amiga Computing ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks for the constant insults, it's the only thing that keeps me going! (Will I ever receive an issue of the magazine??!!) Commodore UK ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks for the CDTV, I cannot wait until it arrives..... Okay, not a lot else to say, except if you have obtained this demo before December 1990, remember that Mandarin will have a nice big stand at the Computer Shopper Show and they welcome any visit from AMOS users. Demos on show will include AMOS 3D, the AMOS Compiler and a few surprises! Have fun, see ya there! Peter Hickman. P.S. Don't forget to read my AMOS column in Amiga Computing every month!!
