Newton Rating

(the new de-facto Atari rating 
standard): Not disqualified, 
although "the desk was way more 
interesting" - (see

New in v1.01 (afterparty 24.05.2020)
------------------------------------
Now starts on 1MB w/o AUTO folder. 
Also more accurate rotation, 
partyversion had a dumb way of 
perspective projection enabled instead 
of the code meant for production. 
That's what you get for 
"partycoding" :)

General
---------
Just a (rarely done) effect that up 
until now people did in 15 or less 
fps, mostly requiring STe+blitter and 
often even using double-pixels. 
Now done in 50fps and 1x1 pixel 
„glory“ on stock 1MB 8Mhz STf 
- who needs customchips :) 
And ofc realtime.
Sorry for the dull object and lack of 
movement, but the deadline is looming.
If enough people bug me, I might update
this with things I have lying around, 
like a donut etc. Also severly 
undertested on STE.
Also, on 1MB machines you probably 
have to boot this from a floppydisk 
inside an AUTO-folder to disable all
drivers, GEM etc. (yes, it's that picky 
regarding memory).

Technical
---------
This is a multi-purpose, 1x1, 50hz, 6 
colors gouraud polygon routine. While
dabbling with STNICCC, we often used
the running gag of "and now in full
gouraud". I got curious, _how_ fast
I could get my gouraud approach. This
is the result. No anim; rotation, 
polys etc. are realtime.
