WELCOME TO FRACTALS BY CAESAR OF PALACE!
            RELEASED 1/4-91             
LEFT MOUSE=NEXT PAGE  RIGHT MOUSE=CANCEL
                                        
$$ GENERAL NOTE ABOUT THE CALCULATION $$
$$$$$ OF FRACTALS IN THIS PROGRAM. $$$$$
THE FORMULA IS THE STANDARD MANDELBROT: 
Z(T+1)=Z(T)$Z(T)+C                      
BUT IN FUTURE VERSIONS I MIGHT INCLUDE  
OTHER FORMULAS.                         
NO CHEATING OR PRECALCULATION HAS TAKEN 
PLACE.                                  
$$ EVERYTHING IS CALCULATED REALTIME. $$
THE HIGH SPEED IS DUE TO COOL OPTIMIZING
AND RESEARCH IN SKIPPING UNNECESSARY    
CALCULATIONS AND LAST BUT MOST IMPORTANT
: ALL CODING DONE IN ASSEMBLER(NO ROM)!!
NO FUCKING LAME "C" OR BASIC-PROGRAMS!!!
THE PICTURES ARE DRAWN IN 32 COLORS ON A
256$256 SCREEN (SAVED AS 320$256).      
OF COURSE I WILL MAKE MORE SCREENFORMATS
IN NEXT VERSION.                        
                                        
                                        
$$$$$ GENERAL NOTE ABOUT THE MENUS $$$$$
LEFT MOUSE=SELECT     RIGHT MOUSE=TOGGLE
MENU ON/OFF.                            
HOLD DOWN LEFT MOUSE FOR SPEEDCOUNTING. 
!!! WARNING !!! WAIT FOR ALL DISK-ACCESS
TO FINISH BEFORE SELECTING "MUSIC OFF"!!
(THIS FUNCTION TURNS OFF ALL INTERRUPTS 
TO GAIN PROCESSORSPEED,SO THE DISK MIGHT
FUCK UP, IF THE DRIVE IS STILL RUNNING!)
                                        
$$$$$$$$$ THE "START" FUNCTION $$$$$$$$$
THIS FUNCTION SIMPLY TURNS OFF THE MENU 
AND STARTS CALCULATING THE IMAGE. HOLD  
RIGHT MOUSE TO BREAK CALCULATION.       
                                        
$$$$$$$ THE "EXAMPLES" FUNCTION $$$$$$$$
LOADS SOME PRE-DEFINED EXAMPLES INTO THE
PARAMETERS. THEY ARE MAYBE NOT THE MOST 
BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLES, BUT THEY SHOW THE   
IDEA OF THE PARAMETERS.                 
                                        
$$$$$$$$$ THE "CYCLE" FUNCTION $$$$$$$$$
CREATES A SIMPLE COLOR-CYCLE. IF YOU ARE
LUCKY THIS MIGHT PRODUCE A COOL EFFECT, 
BUT NORMALLY IT WILL LOOK STUPID.       
$$$$$$$$$ THE "HELP" FUNCTION $$$$$$$$$$
YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT RIGHT NOW!        
                                        
$$$$$$$ THE "SAVE IFF" FUNCTION $$$$$$$$
THIS FUNCTION PROMTS YOU FOR A FILENAME.
WRITE FULL FILENAME (INCLUDING DRIVE,   
DIRECTORY, ETC.) PRESS RETURN ALONE TO  
CANCEL SAVING. THE PICTURE WILL BE SAVED
AS A STANDARD (UNCRUNCHED) IFF-FILE.    
(LOAD AND SAVE IN DPAINT TO CRUNCH FILE)
                                        
$$$$$$$$$ THE "QUIT" FUNCTION $$$$$$$$$$
EXITS THE FRACTAL-GENERATOR.            
(I HOPE, THAT YOU WILL NEVER DO THIS)   
                                        
$$$$$$$$$ THE "ZOOM" PARAMETER $$$$$$$$$
DEFINES THE ZOOM-FACTOR OF THE FRACTAL. 
THE LOWER VALUE, THE HEAVIER ZOOM.      
ALSO TRY TO MAKE EXTREMELY BIG VALUES TO
CREATE SOME FUNNY EFFECTS.              
                                        
$$$$$$$$ THE "X-POS" PARAMETER $$$$$$$$$
DEFINES THE X-POSITION OF THE FRACTAL.  
$$$$$$$$ THE "Y-POS" PARAMETER $$$$$$$$$
DEFINES THE Y-POSITION OF THE FRACTAL.  
$$ NOTE TO THE X-Y-POSITION PARAMETER $$
IF THE ZOOM-VALUE IS VERY LOW,ONLY SMALL
CHANGES IN THE X-Y-POS WILL "MOVE" THE  
FRACTAL QUITE MUCH. ON THE OTHER HAND,  
IF THE ZOOM-VALUE IS VERY HIGH, THE     
X-Y-POS WILL HAVE TO BE CHANGED RATHER  
MUCH TO MOVE THE FRACTAL.               
                                        
$$$$$$$$ THE "DETAIL" PARAMETER $$$$$$$$
THIS IS THE VALUE, WHICH IS COMPARED    
AFTER EVERY ITERATION. SMALL VALUES WILL
RESULT IN FAST CALCULATION, BUT LOW     
DETAILED PICTURES.                      
THE "CORRECT" VALUE IS 0A000000, BUT TRY
HIGHER VALUES FOR SOME EXTREMELY COOL   
EFFECTS. (ALSO CHECK OUT EXAMPLE NR.2)  
                                        
$$$$$$$$ THE "WIDTH" PARAMETER $$$$$$$$$
SIMPLY DEFINES THE WIDTH OF THE IMAGE.  
                                        
$$$$$$$$ THE "HEIGHT" PARAMETER $$$$$$$$
SIMPLY DEFINES THE HEIGHT OF THE IMAGE. 
$$ NOTE TO WIDTH AND HEIGHT PARAMETER $$
THE IDEA OF THESE PARAMETERS IS TO MAKE 
IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE A LITTLE TESTIMAGE
BEFORE THE REAL PICTURE IS DRAWN.       
(TO AVOID TIMEWASTING ON BLACK PICTURES)
WHATEVER THESE PARAMETERS ARE SET TO,THE
PICTURE WILL ALWAYS BE SAVED AS 320$200.
                                        
$$$$$$ THE "ITERATION" PARAMETER $$$$$$$
SETS THE MAXIMUM NR. OF ITERATIONS PR.  
POINT. THIS PARAMETER ALSO DEFINES THE  
DEGREE OF DETAILS.LOW VALUES=LOW DETAIL.
THE "NORMAL" VALUE IS 1E, HIGHER VAULES 
WOULD BE STUPID. ALSO TRY LOWER VALUES  
FOR TEST-PURPOSES.                      
                                        
$$$$$$$$ THE "COLORS" PARAMETER $$$$$$$$
LOADS A PREDEFINED COLOR-TABLE INTO THE 
COLOR-REGISTERS.                        
(SORRY FOR SO FEW TABLES. MORE COLORS   
NEXT TIME! IF YOU WANT OTHER COLORS,    
THEN LOAD THE PICTURE INTO DELUXEPAINT.)
                                        
                                        
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ THE END! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
