WizardWare Animation Festival
WizardWare's Animation Festival

Welcome to WizardWare's Animation Festival CD-ROM. You are now a few mouse clicks away from seeing some of the world's finest animations.

You can run any individual animation by double clicking with the left mouse button on the picture of the animation in the user interface. If you would like to see information about the animation, double click with the right mouse button on the picture of the animation.

A number of animations on the disk can only be played from DOS (NOT A DOS PROMPT IN WINDOWS!!!), so before you are finished using Animation Festival for the day, try out some of the other animations available in DOS.

Use the Options Menu to set preferences for how you would like the Animations to play.

You'll find that the Animation Festival Viewer behaves like most Windows programs that you are already familiar with.

Context Sensitive Help is available for most items, and you can search for specific topics in this Help file if you need any assistance.

About...


Run

Runs the current Animation. The screen will clear, the interlude will be displayed, and after a few moments the animation will begin.


Exit

Quits the Animation Festival Viewer.


Runtime Options

In order to get the best possible playback of an animation, it should be copied to disk before being run. As some of the animations are quite large, you will need to have 10-20 Megs free on your hard drive. If you don't want your hard drive used for temporary storage, do not select this option.

During the copy, an image of the type selected for Interludes will be displayed.


Interludes

During the period that Animation Festival Viewer is copying a file to the hard disk for playback, an image can be displayed. The Interlude options allow you to select whether you would like to see information about the animation about to be played, a random picture, or no picture at all.


Audio Options

The Audio Options allow you to select whether to play music along with the animations, and whether music should be played during the interludes.
