+Infinity -- An XMMS Visualization Plug-in
+------------------------------------
+
+version 0.2
+
+by Julien Carme Copyright(C) 2000
+
+Infinity is a XMMS plug-in which generate full-screen interactive light effects
+according to a music.
+
+The installation can be done by a very standard ./configure && make && make install
+
+To run the plug-in,
+-run xmms
+-enter the visualization plug-ins menu (Ctrl-V),
+-choose Infinity.
+-choose Configure, and your resolution.
+-choose Enable, and press Tab to enter Full-Screen mode.
+-to stop it, press Tab again and disable it.
+
+You can change the resolution in the configuration menu. In full-screen mode,SDL
+should choose the best possible resolution according to the resolution you asked
+for. For example, 640x300 will display a letter-box screen in 640x480.
+See SDL section for more information about the scale factor.
+
+You don't need to be root to enter the full-screen mode.
+
+There is two different modes in this plug-in, the default mode is non-interactive:
+
+-Non-Interactive Mode:
+
+States and palettes are selected randomly, and change sometimes.
+
+ Keys:
+ - Space: change effect.
+ - F12: change palette.
+ - Tab: toggle full-screen.
+ - Enter: switch to interactive mode.
+ - F11: screenshot
+
+
+-Interactive Mode:
+
+You can control the effect:
+
+ Keys:
+
+ - F12: change palette.
+ - Tab: toggle full-screen.
+ - Enter: switch to non-interactive mode.
+ - F1-F10: choose transformation vector field
+ - a,z: change curve 1 lighting
+ - q,s: change curve 2 lighting
+ - e,r: change curve 1 amplitude
+ - d,f: change curve 2 amplitude
+ - w: change curve 2 type
+ - mouse: change curve 2 position
+ - F11: screensh
+.
+
+Speed:
+------
+Infinity need a smooth animation to be interesting.
+To increase speed, you can:
+-compile with pgcc and full (-O6) optimisations.
+-use low resolutions and letter box effect.
+In 320x160, it should run on a small pentiums.
+
+SDL:
+----
+You must have installed a recent version of SDL(>=1.0.6) to run this program.
+If you experience problems with SDL, refer to their documentation first.
+If you cannot obtain low resolutions, you should add them to the
+screen section of your /etc/XF86Config (you can use your X configurator
+instead of editing it yourself). If and only if you cannot change your
+XF86Config, you can change the scale factor in the preference menu. But
+the program will be much slower.
+
+Known Bugs:
+-----------
+Your X has to be at least in 16 bpp to make this program work. If you have more
+than 16 bpp, it should work but may be very slow. If you still use a 8 bpp X,
+mail me, I would really like to know if an implementation of it could interest
+somebody.
+Preferences cannot be saved, and cannot be changed while the plug-in is enabled.
