Boing is a packet of small Boingball Anims for Amigas with GFX Card. an AGA
Version
follows with the next release with more anims and other motives.
Advantages:
Real transparency on animations even on OS 3.5 and faster than animated gifs.
Systemfriendly blitting on transparent window.
Enhancements over the former 1.06 version:
+ You can choose between different anims
+ Sound available if you want.
+ Blinking can be turned off.
+ timeout can be set for one anim.
You can set X and Y coordinates also blinking values.
To exit the animation simply click on it once.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed a bug of the V 1.10 version, x, y errorchecking for the screen coordinates
was not active.
Now if the x or y values are bigger than the actual screen, boing appears in
center of the screen!
Sorry for that silly mistake.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tooltypes:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
xpos: x-position on screen
ypos: y-position on screen
blink: negativ values result in faster blinking, positive values result in
slower blinking. Default =-60
a value of "0" stops blinking
vblank: you can alter this value to get a faster or slower anim, default
value=5
Useful values are between 3 and 7. Note, smaller values result in
higher cpu load.
anim: Here you can choose between different anims, at the moment there are
4, put in 1,2,3 or 4.
Anim 1 is meant to be something special, simply wait for timeout
and you will see.
Hope you enjoy this little thing. Therefore it takes a bit more on
RAM than the other anims.
Anim 2, 3 and 4 take about 2 MB Fastram, anim 1 takes about 6-7 MB.
Anim 4 is same as
anim 1, except timeout and the additional animations of anim 1.
sound: Here you can turn on sound, setting "1" = Sound on, "0" = Sound off
Note, you must have AHI installed for this. Only affects anim 1. If
sound="0" no sound
will be loaded, set this off, if you have problems with sound or no
AHI installed.
timeout: Here you can set timeout in seconds, from 60 to 3600 sec., only for
anim 1, the other anims
are not affected by this. Time is not precise at all and is in
conjunction with the values putting
in vblank switch.

Requirements: GFX Card and fast CPU, recommended 040/060
Os 3.5 minimum and 16 MB Fastram
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Minumum Screenmode of 800x600 is recommended.

does not function on 8 bit, 16 Bit and 32 Bit ARGB
Installation: really simpel, just put the content of the archive in the
WBstartup drawer, then alter the
tooltypes to your needs.
Tested on A 1200 Tower, Blizzard 68060, Mediator LT4 on Voodoo 3 3000 ,
other Systems not tested yet, but should run on most classic machines and UAE or
NG.
Developed with Amiblitz 3.5.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bugs: Not really a bug. If you start boing and an open window covers the area
where boing appears,
then boing cuts out the background of the window instead of the WB
Background. Nothing
serious can happen, because the blitting is on an transparent window.
Only close the window
and close boing, then restart boing and everything is normal. No
graphical trash is left behind
and the machine will not crash.
If other really strange things occur, please report, if any.
Have Fun,
Joachim
