The video clips below show this animation being created from scratch in Deluxe Paint III.<\/p>\n

When we start Deluxe Paint III, we are given the opportunity to choose the screen mode we would like to work in. We select the highest of the original Amiga’s 4 standard resolution modes, 640 X 400. We may have up to 16 colors in this mode, but we only request 4 for this project. We turn on overscan mode to eliminate our screen’s border. This yields a final resolution of 704 X 480, the single highest possible resolution of which our machine is capable. Because we are using a North American machine, we select an NTSC display. The “Program Loading” option lets us choose to have DPaint keep only its currently active components in memory, reading in other pieces from disk as needed. This feature saves memory on machines without much of it, at an inevitable cost in execution speed. Since we have more than enough RAM installed to create this simple project, this option is not necessary for us.<\/p>\n
