introduction:

this demo, unlike many other demos, is actually not made for the big audience, but for ourself.
the title indicate that ImPACT DK as a demo group have been spread apart during the last few years.
it's not something we regreet or want to change, it's just a fact like any other.


general:

Spread
an ImPACT DK Java demo
released at Summer Encounter 1999


credits:

main programming: Uffe Hansen
programming support: Jeppe Schmidt, Jon Frydensbjerg, Brian Fle
graphics: Kresten Andersen
music: Thomas Bryld


hardware requirements:

browser with Java JIT compiling (quite important)
pentium II 400mhz CPU or similar (will work on less though)
64mb memory


performance:

we are aware that this demo requires a quite fast computer, this is because we have spend no time
optimizing our code. the effects are pretty old, so we chose to spend our time working on the design
instead of optimizing old code. we did implement some features though:

-choosing 'slow computer' means that the demo does not release the cpu, and furthermore
 some effects will have decreased amount of vertexes and filters
-choosing 'fast computer' means that the demo will release the cpu between frame updating, and
 all effects will be rendered to the limit
-disabling music does not increase performance, but reduces loadtime with 500kb


compatibility:

-should work on version 4, or higher, browsers
-performance sometimes drops under windows nt using explorer, try using netscape instead
-have been tested to work on linux and macintosh using netscape
