---------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
---------------------------------


3D FISH!! is 3d fish two. (I developed 3D FISH!, which is 3d fish one)

Itoyori-bream fishes swim around in 3D space.

Mechanics and Fluid Mechanics give speed, direction and orbit to the fish of !!. Calculating (re)action of fluid upon fish makes the fish!! swim forward, stop, and turn right or left. Considering fluid, fish can swim.

The fishes sometimes fail to keep away from each other and then their bodies come in contact and cross. They can mostly avoid collision to columns (of floor1, 1a).

floor0
---------------------------------


The floor0 of this version 2.141 consists of 2 movements. The 1st movement is Allegro and the 2nd is Adagio. These 2 movements cycle. One loop takes 10 minutes. I wanted to make 3rd mov.: Scherzo -Presto and 4th mov.: Finale -Allegro, but I could not.




---------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS
---------------------------------


DirectX 8.1 or later
CPU 700MHz or faster
fast 3D video card

At 60fps or over, animation speed does not depend on fps. Animation becomes slow under 60fps. The right speed that I designed is 60fps or more. If fps is equal to the refreshrate of your display at vsync ON in full screen mode, animation is smooth.

fps data on my PC:

AthlonXP(166x10=1.66GHz) + GeForce4 Ti4200
floor0	60 fps	18 fishes	full screen mode 1024x768x32 refreshrate 60Hz vsync ON
floor1 (at Preset EyePosition)	60 fps	18 fishes	full screen mode 1024x768x32 refreshrate 60Hz vsync ON
floor1a	60 fps	18 fishes	full screen mode 1024x768x32 refreshrate 60Hz vsync ON

Please adjust the number of fishes and mode(resolution and color) to get smooth animation. 32bits color is recommended to adjust WaterColor.
