� ABOUT THE MUSIC AND SFX �
� ����������������������� �
� �
� These files contains the AdLib music and sounds for the platform �
� game "Lollypop", by Brain Bug. Although this was spread in 1996, �
� the music and SFX was actually done back in 1993. Thomas "Drax" �
� Mogensen and Torben "Metal" Hansen composed all the music using �
� the EdLib editor. All the SFX was done directly in the player by �
� Jens-Christian Huus. �
� �
� Most of the SFX does not allow you to choose a new SFX until the �
� one playing is finished. This was done to make sure that the SFX �
� would "play out" in the game. Some of the SFX even requires you �
� to wait until the previous SFX has ended. If you want to be sure �
� you hear all the SFX properly, always press the ENTER key after �
� each SFX. This will cut all the voices. �
� �
� The screens were also sent to the game designers. This explains �
� why some of the screens have dark gray or orange textlines. When �
� a screen was initially designed, all of the lines were dark gray �
� (indicating that the SFX or music wasn't done yet). As soon as a �
� SFX or a piece of music had been created, the relevant line was �
� changed to light gray - or orange, if I wasn't satisfied myself. �
� �
� Notice that there is a MAIN block. This block contains all the �
� general music and sounds used in all levels throughout the game. �
� The other files contains level specific stuff which was combined �
� with the MAIN block. The "Underground" level, however, has its �
� own MAIN block since this level took place in a big cavern. Most �
� of the SFX in this level have delayed echo effects. �
� �
� There are in fact 9 voices in the OPL2 mode of the Adlib chip. I �
� reserved 4 of them for SFX and 5 for music. Only the "ZAKMIX4" �
� block contains music which uses all 9 voices simultaneously. �
� �
� If you run the screens in a full-screen DOS session, you'll see �
� a strange gray blob in the border of the screen. This is the CPU �
� time the player uses. It seems as if it requires quite a lot of �
� time. However, 99% of the time is spent "waiting" for the AdLib �
� soundchip to acknowledge the commands I sent to it! If the chip �
� could respond immediately (like the OPL3 chip in e.g. SB16 and �
� AWE32 does), it would only take one rasterline of CPU usage. �
� �
� By the way, you can use the CTRL key as a "fast forward" button. �
� �
� Have fun with the music and sounds! �
