*if* is a pretty big word ;) - what appears to be a simple`ish task is prooving to be somewhat impossible. When i see a finished demo like the recent Cycle/BD - it lets me know just how much get up & go some scenrs have :) |

here`s alittle ZERO`s and ONE`s update... good news is, the demo will still be called ZERO`s and ONE`s :)
The story so far:
'Menu/Part selector'
The bitmap picture is done, and little speach bubbles drawn.
We`re still looking for a tune (something laid back, for a Cafe atmosphere). Code is not done as the idea is to code this menu part last :)
'Return of the Living Dead'
This part is 100% coded. Graphics (SHE2) by WEC, Code by WHW Design and Music by Tim Follin
'Sleeping'
This part features 2 pictures (opposed to the original one) and 2 text screens. The music is in there and the flooding is happening. There`s afew bugs WHW Design needs to fix.
`Mona Lisa`
Graphics by WEC, 4Bit tune by WEC, Code by WHW Design
100% coded :)
'Andromeda'
SHIF picture by WEC, 1x1 interlaced font by WEC, Music by ?/WOW and Code by Crossbow/Crest (features a cool full screen all borders wipe on by Crossbow)
'Shoot Out'
IFLI picture by WEC (WEC`s last IFLI), music by ?/WOW and code by Crossbow/Crest
'The Nightrain'
Hires Bitmap + Overlaid sprites by WEC, music by Syndrom/Crest+TIA and Code by WHW Design and Fixed by Crossbow/Crest
'The End'
Hires graphics drawn by WEC, 4bit sample by WEC. Still requires a tune (something cool and laid back maybe). Still requires coding.
`Hidden Part`
100% coded. This part rocks, it`s almost too good to be a hidden part :)
/WEC :) |

well in the hands of the right coder i think it could be finished off within 1 week :) - i`ve sort of given up on the original coder WHW Desgin as he simply has too many other things on. So i`m working on finding a new coder to finish the job off /WEC :) |

"Comming soon..."
heh, guess I was being a little over ambitious with my thoughts :)
Here's a small update on *Zeros & Ones*.
The last time I emailed WHW Design (the original coder) regarding Zeros & Ones I recieved a somewhat bizarre reply. Maybe he was stressed out or something. He wanted nothing more to do with Zeros & Ones, or me. Oh well, that's life.
The good news is, Crossbow coded two parts and fixed one of WHW Design's parts. That was about 3 years ago now.
The great news is, a new coder (not so new to the C64 scene ;) took over Zeros & Ones some time ago. So far he has coded the Turn Disk part which is pretty damn good. The Turn Disk part was the last thing to be designed for Zeros & Ones, and has thet modern look to it. Due to the new coders commitments to his own groups projects, Zeros & Ones will be finished off as and when.
Zeros & Ones is kinda old school in its approach, as it is to feature a menu select part (no trakmo). An already there is a demo version of the menu. Some cool news, Drax has offered to create some music for the part selector, so I'm looking forward to hearing what he comes up with.
