A couple of years ago I saw a section of The Net (BBC2, UK) which showed
someone who was intrested in things like Zoetropes etc., the very first
animated cartoons etc., and he had also created a program on a computer
in 1990 that allowed you paint music onto the screen with a mouse and 4
bugs would walk round the screen and play music to different pitches and
different sounds when they walked over the coloured in squares. I have
re-created a virtual copy of this program in AmosPro, the only thing it
really requires is 020+ speed for the flashing anims when the bugs step
on the coloured in squares, otherwise press [space] for turning off the
flashing anims. It needs 1mb chip ram Amigas to run, and should run on
A500+'s and A600's easily, but no flashing anims.

This is a beta, as in it isn't fully finished, but it works very well,
you can save/load your tunes, change the anims used for the 8 different
loadable sounds, change the pitch of each colour and the particular
sound played and select which raw/8svx sounds you want played.


400k of sound samples are included in this archive.
It is possible to unpack this archive to a single disk, and be run from
there, the only other file really required is the Assign command found
in c: of your workbench disk/hard drive. It's best to load up workbench
first if running from disk.

See enclosed .txt file for details of how to use the program.
