All comments are in Spanish though there's a (shorter) Enlish readme file. Knowing Spanish is very useful for these sources as the comments are good.

| Lots of ASM sources, mostly for hardware and BIOS routines - It's somewhat difficult to find what you want, but the comments tell you what you need to know (but not what you have to do) to get everything compiled. Looks like a great source for the cut & paste coder. Given the nature of the routines, I'd say that was the intended purpose of this release.

| 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.

I (and he) recommend that you still get another reference (like a *gasp* book) if you know absolutely nothing about programming windows and intend to get serious about it. The tut has just enough info to grasp how windows works, the mindset needed for coding, and some basic messages windows can throw at you. Good for the ultra-beginner with windows. (Oh, the example here is a star field)

N-Factor's first production, released at Wired'94 - a good "first-time" production for a new group. Lots of vector objects, some unlimited bobs, and textured planes - a top and bottom of the screen - but they are doing many things with this simple transform table: like really interesting flight of space ship over you (like in 2nd Reality), but textured (looks much-much better).

Good beginning on this demo. Blue fire effect, going into zooming routines to delay dots, to 3-d fire. There are other interesting effects. To get past some parts of the demo the user must press Escape. The music is also a little repetitve at times... Without a GUS I couldn't get the entire demo.

Samples from TB Proteus 1/XR by Sam Eassa

| 10 Sep 1996 (catalog date)
746,435 bytes
| Download FTP scene.org
| | This is the third of a series of samples extracted from the Turtle Beach Multisound Proteus 1/XR synthesizer. Whereas the first and second collections (proteus1.zip and proteus2.zip) were a collection of melodic as well as percussion samples at 22kHz/16 bits, this one is percussion only at 44.1kHz/16 bits. Based on some good feedback (thanks Jester :-) I kept all samples very basic (no combos or riffs) for maximum usefulness. The quality is also better due to the fact that the sampling was done locally on the multisound as opposed to using a seperate PC. This has yielded some very quiet and crisp samples compared to the first sets of samples. Although the samples are in .wav format, they can be ported to .smp or almost any other using a program such as Goldwave. All samples are 44.1kHz, 16 bit and were created by playing different percussion notes on the multisound, and capturing them live to RAM and then to disk. Post editing was done to optimize gain and remove the dead space.

Lots of bass sounds - that's what the Pulse is good for.
