| This tutorial is very easy to understand and describes everything you need to know like the mathematical basics, the different kind of polyfillers, shading methods, camera movement, sorting and backface culling and much much more. A must-have for every 3d coder! Text

| Zed 3d - a document explaining the maths you'll need for 3d. Word and postscript formats of the same file. Zed has an attention to detail and a great way to explain all the math. I highly recommend this to anyone starting to make a 3d engine who doesn't know where to start (start with the math, not the polygon fillers, believe me! the fillers are trivial in comparison). See the bibliography for where to go next.

| This version fixes some bugs in the 1.1 version, which was really necessary because some demos who used that version really sounded bad on a gus, so make sure you use this version, and not an older one!

| Tiny Gus Play - Has source for the player, but can interface with asm and watcom. GUS only. requires that music be run through a converter and the playback is similar to FT2 when it comes to s3ms (but it will play xm's!)

| Source for a BBS loader with a star field and scrollie - I never thought I'd give this high a rating for source to a BBS loader, but I figure there's got to be some way for people to know what to look for. The source is beautiful and there are more comments than there are lines of source! *Perfect* for the beginner, though not a tutorial.

| Sources for a demo with a scrollie, plasma, shadebobs, tunnel, bitmap rotation and stretching, and cool credits - Nice comments, but not precompiled. add /misc.!!! to your path and be sure to have pklite somewhere in your path. Go through each directory and use Borland's make on all the targets of each make file. Then make bytekiss.exe from /. Nice demo for its time, but frightfully boring except on Valentine's day. :)

| Simple example and explanation of how to do 2d bump mapping. Looks like it was written by a beginner (because of the code optimization, or lack there of), but is fairly nicely commented, which is a big plus!

| Bumped glass routine. For TMT pascal. You might call this a bump map type effect. The difference I'm going to call is that bump map routines alter light intensity while lens routines change your position in a texture map. Interesting way to get the timer! :) For C users, that would be int *time = 0x046C. See a BIOS data reference for further details.

| A texture mapped tunnel effect. Has holes in the tunnel. No useful comments in the source. One nifty (old!) idea of taking advantage of mirrors in the lookup table. FYI - vasen=left, oikea=right, yl„=upper, ala=lower.

| Slam! This is how a music disk should be done. Absolutely the best interface I've seen for a music disk since Epidemic. Not only that, but the interface is configurable... you can actually use it for your own productions. The music kicks ass. If you only download a couple music disks this year, be sure that one of them is Dee Musicdisk Two!

| Good techno! 3 songs in AMS format, with a nice player to go along. Don't try to play these in Cubic Player (out of memory) or under Windows 95 (lose keyboard handler). Would have given this 4 stars if there had been more songs.

| | Fixes the problem with loading *.RAW 16-bit mono sound files into fasttrackerii -- having to press "16-bit" and "no" every time you load a sound, can get boring. this program replaces all your *.RAW files with *.IFF sounds, that load into fasttracker without any fuss. The search for *.RAW files is recursive, i.e. all sub-directories beneath the one you are fix'ing, will be fix'ed too .. careful!! the original .RAW files are ERASED. also, if you have other than 16-bit sound files in your collection, you should sort them first, placing your 16-bit files in a seperate directory, before using FIX. This program is freeware. Enjoy :)

| | Samples taken from the Roland Juno 106 - Analog-based synthesizer with thundering bass, Yamaha TX16W - Sampler with Typhoon OS the modulation makes synthesis possible. By popular demand, the Juno pack is back! And this time, we've got a lot of resonance for all of you techno guys out there. (: We've got a couple of samples of resonant acid-like bass, plus a lot of other goodies with booms, distortion, LFOs, etc. There are 25 additional Juno sounds here, recorded at 44.1kHz, 16 bit on a Pro Audio Spectrum 16 with the sample point at C3 unless otherwise noted. Sorry, no loop points or envelopes are provided. Be sure to check out the Typhoon TR-808-like kit as well.

Oberheim Matrix 1000 Samples by Soundwave

| | This is yet another sample pack made for those with samplers and high-end trackers. 50 samples are in this pack, all coming from bank 0 (!) of the Oberheim Matrix 1000. The Oberheim Matrix 1000 is a nice little analog synthesizer with classic Oberheim sounds, for those who don't know. The samples were done on a Turtle Beach Tropez. Hopefully this provides a tad better audio quality than the Pro Audio Spectrum 16 (which in itself wasn't bad). Sorry, no loop points or envelopes are provided.
