- info --------------------------------

it's a bit of a technology demonstrator
and a first step towards the next 
falcon demo. 

it started with damo's ideas about 
using some oldschool footage of rc 
cars. also the vector layer was his
idea. the interpolation layer is like
that old 242 demo on a500. except this
one is much more accurate. it would
have probably been a more coherent
prod with damo's design. but wtf, you
gotta hurry and feed the atarians =)

the truly fun part to code was the
raster-to-vector algorithm which is
not even in this intro but it's a tool
in ansi c, hehehehe =) an idea sprang
to life and with already the first 
revision of the code it gave nice 
results! =]]

the textured 3d parts are actually a
poly stream. it shouldn't have been
with the amount of textures.. but hell,
i wanted to use the routs some day..

the last part is a poor attempt to 
match nocrew's incredible stocasto
screen. eventually we will kick their
ass (i hope).

anyway, you'll see all that in the
source code eventually. 

- hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry -

.. and run it.
