this demo contained some improved
effects and some new inventions.
it was high standard coding in
combination to cool design and nice
musics. i think you should all get this
demo in your collection.

lets get over to the next demo which is
lunacy 7 by antic
contents
--------
- some lines in the intro which should
be something like a street, but lotsa
bugs in the calculation
- 5 fli picture gfx part with an ugly
outfading
- some line vectors, nice outfading of
this part (1 frame, blob and away)
- some interference circles calculated
in about 4 frames with wrong rgb cols
- some animated bitmap vectors with 6
colors, too less phases at the objects
sometimes some nice flashing between
black and the vector
- small starwars scroller calculated in
3 to 4 frames, but each line can be
x-flexed in a different way

this demo look nice when you watch it
the first time, but if you look a second
time, you will realise that the coding
is not on a very high standard.

- general intro, logo and movie flasher
- metamorphosis of 256 plots in 3 frames
- vector lines, cool objects and a fast
spliner, but not the fastest

some nice ideas which can probably
be improved in the future. get this demo
to complete your collection, but in
my opinion it is nothing special.
