Enlight'97 - Indicative timetable. General rules for all contests on all platforms.
ENLIGHT 1997
(C) Alexei Mikhailov
Nearing that long-awaited in the computer
world day Enlight is the third time
will open its doors to amateur and
demomeykinga fans. Possible long
argue about being wanted / unnecessary musical demonstrations.
Someone without them imagine life platform, and someone they do
not interest us. We are all humans and we are all different.
However, the fact that conducting such competitions, the more
when they are invited spektrumisty,
Event No1 in the life of users of Spectrum, I think all would
agree.
Best in their categories of work - it
gems in the collections of programs and ptsshnikov and
amizhnikov and sinkleristov. This is the top skill of coders,
musicians, artists, and is an indicator of the level of
domestic authors, this is just great, finally. Even those who
have never been fond of demos, opening their mouths looked
Illusion, Vibration, Action - imho, the best thing that gave us
last year Enlight. And what music, some graphics as well?
Pologayu that This year, the growth of local authors will be
more obvious and visible. Adds
fuel to the fire and the possible arrival of competitors from
abroad.
Enlight, apart from the competition, it is still
and a large crowd. This is just the place
where you will see firsthand the best
Representatives Spectrum elite, which is expected to more than
a year ago.
Unfortunately, far too busy schedule
E'97, it seems, does not allow us to include
Spectrum Intro Compo, about which there was much talk among
programmers after E'96.
The exact date and venue of the party are still unknown.
Watch as they say, for advertising.
Let's hope that the organizers will take into account
last year's mistakes and wishes of visitors, and deliver
computer Enlight'97 world countries have more joy and pleasure.
