Re: .99K News
Digital,
Actually, .99K was originally slated to have a school of 3 Banggai Cardinals, but the fish proved to be too complex for the current fish model. Each fish has about 300 points which are just moved around to make each fish, Banggai will need 400 points, requiring some rewrites to the fish animation engine as the current engine is rather hard-wired...
So Blue Damsel was simply the best picture Jim could find of a nice reflective, bright fish at the time. I think he still intends the Banggai Cardinal for the schooler.
I've updated my website to include the hefty list of features slated for .99K...
Picasso Trigger has been improved
new Regal Angel
new Blue Damsel
Background rescales to fit all ratios including 1280x1024 and HDTV
'No duplicate Random' feature
Windowed mode now has 'Always On Top' feature
Monitor shutdown (EnergyStar) is working
Alt+Tab and Ctrl+Alt+Del bypassing of password is disabled
Windows 2000 sound loop bug fixed (hopefully)
'Waking up' on Windows 2000 and/or Microsoft Intellimouse fixed
