			The new portuguese demogroup


_.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.
Who is part of this group?
-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.

   This group is made of two members - Electron and MAD. We live in
Braga, Portugal, and we are currently studying in the school Escola
Secundaria Sa de Miranda.


_.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-
Who are those two guys?

   Okay, here goes a table of information about the two members:

   Well, since we are already in holydays, maybe we can consider
ourselves in the 12 year... :)


_.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.
What do you use to program your demos?
-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.

   We usually use Borland Pascal 7 to program our routines, and only
then we translate them to assembler. After they are in assembler, we
put them in a separate ASM file and try to optimize them even further
by using 32-bit instructions and registers. We are even starting to
program in 32-bit Protected Mode using the excelent DOS32 DOS extender.
However, MAD, in his never-ending pride, is planning to make an
extender of his own, for us to use. It seems he doesn't like to use
other people's stuff. If I was him, I'd be entering hex digits directly
into the processor's memory... ;)

_.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.
Have you made any demo yet?
-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.

   Not yet. We are thinking to launch a small intro later this year,
but nothing before that. However, MAD made a music to the SIMPLE' 97
portuguese democompo, and you can get it at our homepage.


_.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-
How can I get your productions?
-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._

   We now have a permanent web site and ftp site that will contain
all our productions. Simply point your browser to:

   http://www.catalao.pt/coders/ph55

   You can also get them by ftp at:

   ftp://ftp.catalao.pt/coders/ph55


_.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.
How can I contact you?
-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.

   To contact us, simply send email to ph55@catalao.pt. It's as simple
as that!! Notice, however, that you may get two answers: one from
Electron and another from MAD. But, for now, that will not happen, as
MAD doesn't have a Net account... yet!


_.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.
Can you give me some of your source-code? I am learning, you know...
-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.

   Bet you wouldn't want anything else, hum? :)
   If you want to learn how to code demos, you can download the
excellent Denthor/Asphyxia tutorials, at ftp.cdrom.com/pub/demos/code
   However, we can give you advice, make sure you contact us! (but we
won't even answer email like "Hey, make me a 3D engine, I can't"!!!)


_.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._
You are going to launch an intro? How will it be?
-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-

   We don't know yet. We can only tell you that it will have a good
design above all, it will run well on a average-speed computer, have
a lot of 3D vectors in gouraud or even phong, and it will make the
portuguese demoscene as good as the internacional scene.
