StarUp

Information about the usage of the Starfield Upscroller V3.0
by Stefan Mateescu


applet parameters:

"backCol": background color of the applet
"thread": the wait-time between the threadcalls (ms!)


starscroller parameters:

"stars": amount of stars on the screen (0 to turn the star-effect off)
"doSize": animate the star's size along the distance (0 or 1)
"doCols": change the star's color along the distance (0 or 1)
"starCol": (brightest) color of the stars
"stSpeed": what do you think???
"maxSize": maximum size of a star (only when doSize=1)
"scrDist": "ScreenDistance in the "virtual" 3D-world (best between 50 and 150)


texter parameters

"lines": amount of lines of text on the screen
"delay": slows the movement
"fade": fade in/out of the last/first line (0 or 1)
"txtfile": the name of the txtfile to be loaded
"font*": name,size,style and color of the text
styles: 0-plain, 1-bold, 2-italic, 3-bold&italic

The upscroller uses every line from the loaded textfile as a new line in the
upscroll-text. The last line will not be displayed!! If you want an empty screen
at the beginning then let the first lines free! See the example textfile...

Note: do not remove the copyright params! Without these the applet will not work!

Play around with the params and you will see how it works! For further questions
mail me at: mateescu@headlight.de ... Don't forget to give me a credit!
