Name: COPPER FAKED - Beta II of 1 Nov 93
Code: The Faker, Ozymandia, Delph
Gfx: sand, Orthoman, TaB
Sound: Alpha or The Faker
Release Date: Either 31/10/93 (not very likable) or at The Party III if it's
              enough likely to win something =)
Length: 5 minutes.
Size: 100 kb approx. (20k code, 5k adlib music, 75k fonts & pictures). 13 parts.
Configuration: Needs 386, for speed AND instruction compatibility. Most parts
               won't run on ANY 386, all parts should run on a 386DX-25 though.


To-Do-List of Parts:

Part I:    Shade-Font should be changed, Logo added instead of blue box.
           Stars have to be much faster.
Part II:   Same for Logo. Transition of bars to Part III.
Part III:  There should be something bar-like in the lower half behind logo.
           The Font for the scroller's also missing. XFONT2 will be used, but
           there are yet only A-Z characters available.
Part IV:   Ok.
Part V:    Some vertical transparent sine bars later maybe.
Part VI:   Rework the current Font to better
           shading.
Part VII:  Plasma should fade in and out.
Part VIII: Color Morphing of the rendered ball. Also fade-in & out.
Part IX:   Picture morphing of the rotating globe, [ball->globe]. Fade-in, out.
Part X:    Ok.
Part XI:   Ok.
Part XII:  Ok.
Part XIII: Bug when running on Tseng cards (!?!). Font is not fixed yet, should
           be very detailed, white/blue/uniform with holes ...

Between parts: downwards moving, while zooming-in plain text-info about
               coming-up next part?

Bugs:

- Endpart scroller fucks up on Tseng cards.

Graphics:

- Font in first parts should be wild-looking, monochrome. 32x64 (Y-doubled)
- Font in bounce-scroller not complete. (Orthoman) 64x64 (Y-doubled)
- Font for multi-scroller should be changed. (The Faker) 32x64 (Y-doubled)
- Font for round-scroller. 16x32 (Y-doubled) (sand)

- Logo saying "Aardvark", 180x120 (Y-doubled) (sand)

Code:

- Player (Delph/Ozymandia)
- MemoryCheck, Detect of VGA, Adlib, 386 (386 necessary???)
