Here is the Eleventh example of the next release of PortablE:
Example 11: StarsDemo.eOK, you are probably sick of "stars" examples now, so this is the last one... I promise! After doing the rather demo-like StarsZYX.e example, I realised it wouldn't take much more to make it feel like a real demo or bootblock loader. So what I did was add some demo-like music (very easy!), and a wavy text scroller (less easy but it was fun to work out how to do it). It comes to 234 lines of E code.
NOTE: The performance isn't as good as I'd hoped (I haven't had time to investigate why), so it needs to use frame skipping on my 667MHz Sam440. As I had to disable frame skipping for MorphOS, this means it may run a bit slowly on something like an Efika.
