I just got Modulae the other day, and it is simply incredible! I show it to people and they just balk and make up excuses when I ask if they can do anything like that on their VGA 25 MHz 386 system. Anyways, does anyone have any idea how this program does it? I suspect that a large amount of the calculations are done ahead of time, but yet it of course can't have all the shapes drawn at each rotation at each zoom level precalculated, because that would take up way too much space. Any ideas from anyone, or has FTA released their source code by any chance? Wow. All that, plus music in the background, plus its own OS, without using tools. Pretty amazing. -- Henry Throop THROOP@GRIN1.BITNET throoph@jacobs.cs.orst.edu
