| Love the music, hires B/W sinus filler, vectors and the large charset in the between-parts scroll! |

@JA: not magically fast. I waste alot of memory on mul-tables, mostly because i didn't know any better way of doing mul :). That's not slow at least.
The line routine is not the fastest, it's the add-bcc-inc type, i think the 16-bit add is generally faster but not in all cases. I never made any measurement on which line is really faster on *real* objects. Probably a combination of both.
Also i do an unrolled clear-screen, which is slower than re-drawing the lines on such small objects (low number of lines).
I remember having a strange hide-face routine, calculating a correct(?) cross-product. But again, the mul is fast.
The over-all accuracy is poor, but at that time i guess it was ok. The whole thing is single-buffered, you can clearly see the artifacts, but i think that makes it look faster, since some part of the object is always moving in some way :P.
My idea was to do everything like Horizon did in Last Tractor 3, but a little bit faster. I don't think i succeeded.
Some anecdotes.. I remember the TCC audience was bored to death of filled vectors, but of some reason when the TS2-vector came up on the screen everyone was screaming!! Probably because it was from a Swedish group :). |

| Is it just me getting old and lame or aren't the vectors here exceptionally fast? |

| Naah, Wonderland X is slightly better IMHO. Both would have deserved it, but sometimes the competitions were that outstanding like that. |
