DRAGONBREATH
============

DRAGONBREATH is a one-disk trackmo for the Amiga 500 by kreezxil.
Boot it from floppy. It takes over the hardware and runs at
50 frames per second on a stock 7 MHz 68000 with 512K of chip RAM.

The star of the show is the kreezxil dragon. Every few seconds its
eyes charge up with one of two elements, and it breathes out the
same one:

  LIGHTNING  The eyes crackle blue-white and forked bolts tear out
             of the mouth. The bolts are drawn with the blitter's
             line mode, and the copper flashes the whole sky and
             dragon electric blue with every strike.

  FIRE       The eyes burn orange-yellow and a flickering flame jet
             with embers pours from the mouth, while the sky glows
             red.

The two elements alternate in time with the music. The song itself
holds the triggers, so the eyes and the breath always match the
beat.

Along with the dragon you get:
  - copper sky gradients, palette flashes and moving raster bars
  - a sine scroller
  - a three-layer parallax starfield made from hardware sprites
  - fading text pages showing kreezxil's top 5 Minecraft mods and
    top 5 modpacks on CurseForge, 210.2 million downloads in total
  - an original 4-channel ProTracker soundtrack, "Dragonbreath",
    in D minor at 125 BPM, with every sample synthesized from
    scratch

How to run it
-------------
  Real Amiga:  write dragonbreath.adf to a DD floppy (or put it on
               a Gotek), insert it in DF0: and power on or reset.
  Emulator:    set up an A500 (OCS, 512K chip RAM, no slow RAM)
               with the ADF in DF0:, for example
               fs-uae --amiga_model=A500 --chip_memory=512
                      --slow_memory=0 --floppy_drive_0=dragonbreath.adf

  Press the left mouse button to quit (the machine reboots).

Notes
-----
  - The disk is a non-DOS bootblock trackmo, so Workbench won't
    show it as a normal volume. That is expected.
  - It was developed and tested in FS-UAE as an A500 with 512K
    chip RAM. It should run with Kickstart 1.2 to 3.1, and
    feedback from real hardware is very welcome.
  - The soundtrack is also released on its own as
    mods/chip/dragonbreath.lha.
