WizWorks! releases MUG SHOT! The long awaited MUG SHOT! has finally arrived! It's been a long hard pull, but WizWorks! has a reputation for releasing bug-free, fast and intuitive programs. A reputation that we will not allow to be tarnished. Quality takes time. We may be a little late, but we shine like the dickens! What is MUG SHOT! MUG SHOT! gives you parts to make faces and other things. Parts is parts they say, but with MUG SHOT! parts add up to a whole lot of fun and practicality. You see, the idea behind MUG SHOT! is not a new one, but MUG SHOT! takes a good idea and runs with it at light speed! MUG SHOT! has features that NO OTHER program of its kind ever dreamed of having. MUG SHOT!'s main feature is its ability to load different types of parts. That's where we get the "other things" we mentioned up there. With other programs, you're pretty much stuck with one set of humdrum features to paste in place and you soon grow tired of looking a the "same faces" over and over again. Not with MUG SHOT! As a matter of fact, MUG SHOT! "don't just do MUGs ya see..." The possiblities are truly endless. It all depends on which data file is loaded at the time. With the release disk comes the TUNES_01.MGS data file containing some of the goofiest looking parts to have great fun with (only part of which is included in this arc)! It also has the FAMOUS01.MGS file with 25 famous MUGs to scramble. More data disks will be available soon for only $19.95 and the first: "Mr. VeggieHead" and "Stereotypes of the 90's" (both by our young artist Doug Bartholomew) are already in the compilation stages. WizWorks! plans to eventually have over 50 different .MGS data files available with anything from paper airplanes to knights in armor to puzzle pieces to drive ya nuts and there is sure to be one that's just right for you! Each .MGS data file pours up to 50 parts in each of the ten parts bins of MUG SHOT! Now let's see...... That's 50 to the tenth power just to start with which makes.... 9,756,250,000,000,000,000,000 possible combinations of MUGs! But, it doesn't stop there. EACH individual part can be flipped along the horizontal axis so we have to do that again. That makes it... 95,367,431,640,000,000,00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible MUGs. But wait! You can also flop EACH individual part along the vertical axis, too, so that makes it... 909,494,701,770,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, (continued) 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possibilities. But wait! What if you combine the flip and flop? Then that makes it... 827,180,612,540,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, (continued) 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, (continued) 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, (continued) 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (whew!) possibilities. But! Not only can you do all that, you can also "split" EACH part into TWO parts (here we go again!) so that makes it... impossible to list here! In fact, our wonderful 16 bit computer went into overflow on that little calculation!! But we're still not finished! You can shrink or enlarge EACH individual part from zero to MUG SHOT! window size so that makes it... well, YOU figure it out and let US know! BUT if that doesn't impress you, maybe this will. Even if, after sitting there well into the next century trying to see all of the combinations available to you with that particular .MGS data file you finally grow tired of "just seeing the same faces over and over," all you have to do is just load in a brand new .MGS data file and start from scratch with brand new parts!!! With MUG SHOT! you'll never have to say, "Gee! Is that all there is?" And with a full store of drawing tools right in there with some really unique features found in no other program, it just "ain't all there is at all!" We at WizWorks! feel that with MUG SHOT! we've finally managed to define the infinite. MUG SHOT! will run on any ST with a minimum of 512K of memory and one double sided floppy drive. It runs in 640 x 400 monochrome, 640 x 200 medium resolution, or any size big screen monochrome monitors like the M24LMax and Moniterm. For only $2.00 flat you can order the WizWorks! Demo Disk which contains demos of all products available from us and includes the MUG SHOT! Demo so you can take a looksee. It also includes the CONTEST.MGS file and details on winning big discounts on WizWorks! products. And, if you return the disk along with an order, you get your two bucks back! You may upload this demo anywhere or give this demo to anyone you please (and please do) so long as all of the files listed below remain together and with each other. HOW TO GET YOUR MUG SHOT! DEMO up and running: The files listed below must reside in the same directory for MUG SHOT! to run properly. MUGSHOTD.PRG the program MUGSHOTM.RSC monochrome resource MUGSHOTC.RSC medium resolution resource TUNES_1D.MGS the data file that makes it all work That's about it! Put the program, resources and .MGS file into the same directory and then double click MUGSHOTD.PRG to have some fun! The demo runs for only a short time so have fun fast! There are some features disabled but there's enough there to give you a good feel for the program. While you're running the program, don't be afraid to try the RIGHT mouse button as well as the LEFT one. The RIGHT button is the "turbo speed" button. The ALTERNATE key in conjunction with click gives you "super turbo speed" on some functions. SHIFT click does some things too, try it! There are keyboard equivalents for most of the buttons and they are located on the numeric keypad and cursor keypad. ***** NEW AND EXCITING FEATURE! Left click the mouse on any part right in the MUG window and you can drag it to anywhere you wish! It's fun! Don't throw this DEMO away! Included with this demo is a mere fraction of the TUNES_01.MGS file which comes with MUG SHOT! There will be other .MGS demo files circulating as they are compiled. The MUG SHOT! Demo version can load _ANY_ .MGS file just like the real MUG SHOT! If you don't like this sample file, check out the others. You may find one that's to your liking. Additional data disks are only $19.95 for MUG SHOT! and WizWorks! plans to upload some around the BBS's that are absolutely free, too! MUG SHOT! will run on any ST with a minimum of 512K of memory and one double sided floppy drive. It runs in 640 x 400 monochrome, 640 x 200 medium resolution, or any size big screen monochrome monitors like the M24LMax (Jay, you gotta come up with an easier name to remember) and Moniterm. If you have a hard-drive, just make sure all the files above for the program are in the same directory and it runs just fine!
