Short: Create tunes by drawing on the screen. (Beta vers) Author: Ridwan Hughes (fox@ridhughz.demon.co.uk) Uploader: Ridwan Hughes (fox ridhughz demon co uk) Type: mus/misc Architecture: m68k-amigaos -= Bugz Beta 1 =- A couple of years ago I saw a section of The Net (BBC2, UK) which showed someone who was intrested in things like Zoetropes etc., the very first animated cartoons etc., and he had also created a program on a computer in 1990 that allowed you paint music onto the screen with a mouse and 4 bugs would walk round the screen and play music to different pitches and different sounds when they walked over the coloured in squares. I have re-created a virtual copy of this program in AmosPro, the only thing it really requires is 020+ speed for the flashing anims when the bugs step on the coloured in squares, otherwise press [space] for turning off the flashing anims. It needs 1mb chip ram Amigas to run, and should run on A500+'s and A600's easily, but no flashing anims. This is a beta, as in it isn't fully finished, but it works very well, you can save/load your tunes, change the anims used for the 8 different loadable sounds, change the pitch of each colour and the particular sound played and select which raw/8svx sounds you want played. 400k of sound samples are included in this archive. It is possible to unpack this archive to a single disk, and be run from there, the only other file really required is the Assign command found in c: of your workbench disk/hard drive. It's best to load up workbench first if running from disk. See enclosed .txt file for details of how to use the program. Rid.
