8Hi again, everybody!

This is again your favourite wanna-be-coder from Switzerland showing you again
some of my most famous and amazing routines.

Today I wanna show you how to code an absolutely elite shadowplasma routine,
by using this one you'll soon be the star on every demoparty for sure!
Well, coding shadowplasma routines isn't that easy, you really need to be an
advanced elite coder like me for coding things like that. Otherwise simply
press the right mousebutton now!

So you're still here! That's kewl, so let's get started...

Ok, we'll begin with quite a simple shadow plasma routine which on the one hand
still needs some improvements but on the other hand it's a really good example
for getting a feeling for these routines. Ok, here we go:

8 10 print"shadowplasma"
8 20 goto 10

see? Now we have a quite simple but very good shadowplasma on our screen, wow!
This high efficient routine can still be improved by adding the line 8 5 cls^4 to
the front of the routine. The complete listing looks like this now:

8 5 cls
8 10 print"shadowplasma"
8 20 goto 10

see? Now everything which covered the screen before our plasma routine got
initialized has disappeared. You should always think of this, because it makes
your routines even more efficient.

If you replace the term8 goto 10^4 by 8goto 5^4 you'll get a blinking shadow
plasma in the top left corner of your screen. This routine is quite practical
for intros or things like that.

But now we gonna switch over to some bigger and more complicated shadow plasma
routine. Just follow the listing:

8 5 cls
8 10 print"shadowplasma";
8 20 goto 10

see? now we have a spectacular shadowplasma covering the whole screen with the
optimum of speed. Yeah, that's elite coding of its best, fuck the rest!

Ok, see you in the next issue, then we'll find out the secrets of grafiti dots
and will also learn how to write high efficient soundroutines by using the pc-
speaker.
