This book was realesed
1992 only in german speaking countries ! It's about the main animation techniques.
Not the building of contents of an animation, but the technique to let it move
on the screen !
Example techniques are Bitmap-Animations like Snap-Animation, Fieldmoving, Deltakompression,
Objectanimation with masks etc., Framemap-Animations like scrolling, page-flipping,
leaf-through ram pics and Colormap-Animations like color-cycling.

Fruit-Hunter was
my attempt to create a Galaxian like game !
You have to shoot of many different fruits,
which are attack your peel.
Attention
In Attention you
have 14 fields, which shows many different things.
From outside the fields there are yellow
beams which are running to the fields.
If a beam reach a field, in the field
appears a symbol. This could be a bomb, dynamite, gold, a flash, points etc.
The player goes around the fields and
had to put a top on the fields if the symbol is bad !
With the time the yellow beams runs faster
and faster. If a field is closed, there appears a two
fingersymbol for a while. If all fields
have a fingersymbol on the top, the level is complete !!
It's a really hectic game, for which you
need good reactions !
Frenzy
Frenzy was my version
of the really famous Tempest !
Do you remember the good old arcade TV
games ? Tempest was one of them !
Today you have with the great MAME the possibility to play them all on the
PC !
