Freeware 

Boing is a packet of small Boingball Anims for Amigas with GFX Card. an AGA Version
follows with the next release with more anims and other motives.

Advantages: 

Real transparency on animations even on OS 3.5 and faster than animated gifs.
Systemfriendly blitting on transparent window.

Enhancements over the former 1.06 version:
 
+ You can choose between different anims
+ Sound available if you want.
+ Blinking can be turned off.                   
+ timeout can be set for one anim.

You can set X and Y coordinates also blinking values.
To exit the animation simply click on it once. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed a bug of the V 1.10 version, x, y errorchecking for the screen coordinates was not active.
Now if the x or y values are bigger than the actual screen, boing appears in center of the screen!

Sorry for that silly mistake. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tooltypes:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
xpos:      x-position on screen 
ypos:      y-position on screen

blink:      negativ values result in faster blinking, positive values result in slower blinking. Default =-60
             a value of "0" stops blinking

vblank:   you can alter this value to get a faster or slower anim, default value=5
             Useful values are between 3 and 7. Note, smaller values result in higher cpu load.

anim:      Here you can choose between different anims, at the moment there are 4, put in 1,2,3 or 4.
             Anim 1 is meant to be something special, simply wait for timeout and you will see.
             Hope you enjoy this little thing. Therefore it takes a bit more on RAM than the other anims.   
             Anim 2, 3 and 4 take about 2 MB Fastram, anim 1 takes about 6-7 MB. Anim 4 is same as
             anim 1, except timeout and the additional animations of anim 1.
 
sound:    Here you can turn on sound, setting "1" = Sound on, "0" = Sound off 
             Note, you must have AHI installed for this. Only affects anim 1. If sound="0" no sound
             will be loaded, set this off, if you have problems with sound or no AHI installed.   

timeout:   Here you can set timeout in seconds, from 60 to 3600 sec., only for anim 1, the other anims
              are not affected by this. Time is not precise at all and is in conjunction with the values putting
              in vblank switch.

----------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Requirements:  GFX Card and fast CPU, recommended 040/060
                      Os 3.5 minimum and 16 MB Fastram
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Minumum Screenmode of 800x600 is recommended.

following Screenmodes supported: 16 Bit PC, 24 Bit BGR, 32 Bit BGRA
does not function on 8 bit, 16 Bit and 32 Bit ARGB

Installation: really simpel, just put the content of the archive in the WBstartup drawer, then alter the
                 tooltypes to your needs.

Tested on A 1200 Tower, Blizzard 68060, Mediator LT4 on Voodoo 3 3000 ,
other Systems not tested yet, but should run on most classic machines and UAE or NG.

Developed with Amiblitz 3.5.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bugs: Not really a bug. If you start boing and an open window covers the area where boing appears, 
         then boing cuts out the background of the window instead of the WB Background. Nothing
         serious can happen, because the blitting is on an transparent window. Only close the window
         and close boing, then restart boing and everything is normal. No graphical trash is left behind
         and the machine will not crash. 

         If other really strange things occur, please report, if any.

Have Fun,

Joachim
