a tribute to LTP4

  gfx:  seb

  song by Laurent Garnier
  (we apologize for the commercial track, due to a lack of time. enjoy!)
  to otis: no! it's not a 8-bits mp3... call Laurent Garnier for more infos lol :)))

  thanks to MrZob for his rushed xm, we will use it on another demo -good job.

  thanks to poļ² / r i b b o n  for his last minute help

.:technical notes:.

  pentium 2 class cpu needed
  300Mhz or better
  windows 9x/2K
  some ram (16Mo free seems ok)
  a sound card (it's better)
  TNT2 gpu or better (32Mo VRam, OpenGL full support)
  Nvidia Detonator3 minimum drivers requiered (hard use of hardware blending and back buffer copy)
  [democode done on a P2-450, 128Mo, TNT2-ultra & detonator3]
  note: some people notice troubles (bad synchro) when launching on a geForce (with win2k...)

  all right, I know these technical feats are not in old-school demospirit, so, think only it's my first
  shown-demo ever, done in a rushed-time (so only opengl optimisation was done, not low-level one (asm)).
  i'll do better in another release [elric]

  watch this demo at your own risks! if it crash your disk or burn your geForce3, it's not our fault! :)

.:final:.

  i was born in a dream, a magical and coloured one
  i played with the stars, far beyond the frontiers of my mind
  then i followed the others, to slowly learn the rules of the universe
  and finally fall.
  all these fogotten dreams, lost in a sea of conformity...

  life can be different! live your dreams!

  wake-up, keep out the gray mass, plug your mind on a demo, and do dreams, some colored ones...

.:patched version:.  

  resurrected in 2011 by gargaj / conspiracy
  
  involved rewriting the whole demogl dll because the demo assumes the top of the modelview
  matrix stack is a perspective matrix - it isn't. because of that, i'm not actually sure if the fov
  in the demo is correct, but hey, it looks nice this way.
