| A music player - Has no source for the player and a few bugs. But it's easy to interface from *any* language with support for SB and GUS. Rename file heartq.002 from Iguana's demo HeartQuake to demovt.exe and use that instead. It's version "1.6"

| A mod/s3m player with source. THIS is the player you want to pick up if you're doing a 100% asm intro with Tran's pmode v2.xx and need SB support. It's easily tweakable to play your tune from memory, though the code given loads from disk. If you don't need SB support, also check out Robban's GUSPlay.

You have to figure out how to use it yourself from the two short examples that come with it.

| Examples and API for using the AWE32 - And people wonder why there's not much SB support. The information in the packet is contorted. I could go on this for days. Comments like /* main - here's where the fun begins */ are misleading. The fun actually began several hundred lines ago (starting at line 134). It's late. I'm not exactly bored, but this bit of code is frustrating. I wonder why CL even bothered. There are no technical docs of any sort and the code that is here *REEKS* of bad style. For extra frustration, I unzipped the file which had a self extracting .exe in it, which gave me 4 zips which when each extracted with the -d option finally gives me the SDK. Kneebiter - at 1:30 in the morning. Need more tea...

| Reads a 3ds file and outputs an easier to read format. Good utility with full source for reading .3DS files. It's easily tweakable (with a #define) to read from a file or memory and not that difficult to tweak for your own 3d structures. It's also done well enough that adding support for more features of the .3ds format should not be that difficult from a coding standpoint. Specs are admittedly hard to find.

A nice, unique look to this demo sets it apart from others. Lots of mathematical based code. Opens up with four grahpics in the corners and a bouncing pixel that opens up to the title. Good design doesn't stay with any one routine for too long.
