Demo Party - Pro Fun Top and all-all-all ... (Belated report Serzh'a in 5 parts)
Slightly belated report, but still ... Perhaps someone would be interested. Spelling and style of the author saved. PRO FUNTOP AND ALL-ALL-ALL ... Part One. How it all began. Eh, not drunk yet Russian men on earth! It all started long before FunTop'a. Not really - yet before ... :-) So, somewhere in December 1997'go the masses appeared information, type: "Hooray, People! spring is expected the new cool International Computer Festival, dedicated platforms ZX-Spectrum, Amiga and MSX! Rejoice, for it happened! " And the People rejoiced, and they decided to participate in Siem Reap, for people to see, and themselves, of course, to show ... By January The whole world knew about FunTop98 in August (but not in spring!), and therefore, it was time to begin to organize and work a ... ;-) And there was cast aside Serzh messagi Laser Soft'ov (Obolensk) and Dr.Dash 'and (Tula), it's time to throw in a freebie separately, tighten the belt tighter and with Bang (the so- time) in the spring to start doing something, or at least create visibility of the work ... People liked the idea and screams that "It's time to kick all the ass" (sorry, of course), broke into our correspondence and exchange "novem" ... Soon STORM compiled, but not soon demo is written ... I sat down effects, Dr.Dash and Steel Dragon / LS would also something nakodit, Mr.Z / LS expect from yourself of inspiration music and graphics, Mitchell / LS promised all feed, water and put to sleep ... In general, the process has begun ... True, there were minor disagreement about the name and content of the demo, but they seemed so small ... As time went on ... By the end of June in my stash already lying dozen fairly good effects, but time just was vague - exams ... The Pagan / PLAYGEAR made unprecedented diversion :-) - sent very cool game on the Speccy! "Black Crow", of course! And so, Imagine: Summer Session ... exams ... Summer again ... and dude sits day and night, then cut the military truck, and even for the fellows accepted ... And in between time to nakaryabat couple Articles in Deja Vu, and together with all of these effects to kodit FunTop'u ... At night, about two o'clock, suddenly remembered that tomorrow (Or rather, already - today!) To test, say, the IIP (Methods of teaching computer science), and we have something all night read, and in the morning to walk to college and get all so extent that would mark student's record-book appeared no less than "5"! ;-) Well Oh, nothing, no stranger, damn it! :-) By the process of writing the demos have been connected even Demiurge Ash from Kovrov Eternity Industry. Four ruleznyh images (and Two of them - generally Krutyakov!) health should be useful to us in demo! A huge thanks! Also, the graphics helped us Gas-13 from Krasnodar, for which he, too, thanks! So, I nakodil dozen FX'ov and began testing their toughness for all counter-cross - a kind of poll-miniature ... And then I drove to the RLA from Kurgan Computer Rats Group (Organizers ArtComp98), well, we rushed to the mound to the party CRG. Rulz! I checked smotryabelnost :-) effects on humans and was pleased with the results. On a ten scale, it appeared that hung too early, you can live again! ;-) Ottusovavshis two days (big thanks to Eagle / CRG for the hospitality!) I vozvernulsya Shadrinsk in order to continue preparations for FunTop98 ... Just ripe for the idea 4k intro DIZZY and I took her implement, incidentally inventing new effects for Deme ... 7 effects of the intro were taken from the existing, though still quite raw FX'ov ... There was still much work to do all the riveting them in one piece ... rulez'a, well, coding and additional effects, of course! Having decided at any cost to visit PARTY, I utryas all the problems and problemki, took a lot of money (and who is easy right now ...) and the latest days of July was all ready to go in the direction of the capital ... Good Dr.Dash / DIOGEN and Mitchell / LASER SOFT quite a while already invited in Guests ... And here I am already on the road. First stop - Tula. Drive-through Moscow, of course! But time was short, the relatives for some reason I have not met, and where he lives Wlodek Black I did not know (and then would be called in) - we had a long time were prepisku and exchange software ... Volodya calling a couple of times (8 am) and did not When you call, I prepravil ticket to Tula to an earlier train and "Our trains most of ..." ;-) In Tula, waiting for me in the evening ... ;-) In the city I was first ... By purchasing cheburek and map of the city, I went into the yard first got home, sat on a bench and began to "process IDENTIFICATION area. :-) After finding the desired street map, was developed an algorithm for the transmission ... ugh - how to get to the desired terrain that has been done by shuttle bus ... So I'm on the spot ... but what is? It turns out no one around never heard of such a street! Well, it is necessary apply the "method of walking escalating spiral" (bad sounds!)! :-) Finally, some guy at my question about "Elusive street," he said in surprise, "Duc, you are on it and go!" This was the first victory koderskoy thoughts! :-) But I rejoiced too early because it was necessary to find the right house yet, and house numbers for some reason publish :-) forgot! We had to hang back and forth rasprashivaya right and left ... And the heat was terrible ... A bag, damn it, so heavy ... But it always comes around ... ec! ;-) So I got to the apartment Dr.Dash 'and ... Joyful meeting ... exchange of news ... discussion of plans ... which have our demo ... etc., etc. Took me very kindly, for that great thanks Dr.Dash 'y, and all his family! And with the demo writing is always fun ... I have not even replaced the latter part of Dizzy on a more stylish, because the old is very much leymom smell ... ;-) It was nice to get acquainted with all the Tula "Elite", which includes: Dr.Dash / DGN, Next-Stop/DGN, ANDY / DGN (Ex-Bitmunchers), Dude, Last Zahary, Fyrex / MAYHEM (Ex-Bitmunchers) and others have been on a general get-together in a market where Next-Stop sells software for the Speccy. Together with Dr.Dash 'it visited Fyrex'a (MAYHEM), where the "Sharing experiences". Fyrex explained a couple of the effects of Spirius'a - morphing and "veil" (as called the FX Dr.Dash ;-)). The author This effect has no name - simply "eff31" or something in this sort of ... Leafing through the source, Fyrex suddenly turned to us and making terrible eyes, inquired: "Why should this procedure!" We shook shoulders - the author, as they say - is more visible. And the author is angry "Hacked" fucking along its length and started the procedure is what happened ... We are horrified eyes closed hands ... :-) But pa-bo-ta-lo as cool as ever! That's yes! So that Spirius'e have a little "Zhirkov! :-) By the way, it appears that the name of the demo is translated as "spiral"! And then someone out there translate correctly could not, something about the spirit driving the ... :-) In short it was pleasant to talk! Discreetly flown week, Dr.Dash managed under the guise of taking a I was interviewed for an insidious theirs magazine Voyager, and now we time in Obolensk (that of Moscow, Serpukhov District) ... And then last days of Steel Dragon / LS got into the habit to call Next-Stop'u home and use foul language, cultural translation is meant to best case - where the two lazy - Serzh and Dr.Dash! " ;-) Before the train saw us off the whole "party". At last guys presented me exclusive suite Voyager I, which all together got married ... The result was a copy of Soul Plane magazine, thank you very much! A few hours later, making the change to a minibus in Serpukhov, we have already enjoyed the fresh forest Obolensky air ... After all, the first thing jumping off the bus, we ran into woods to relieve some of the requirements for the benefit of all Dr.Dash road sipping beer, and I would not leave ... ;-) Mitchel'a was not at home - leaving behind his bag in the hut - We went to the Steel Dragon'u. SD sat at home and something kodil ... Something cool kodil! In general, when we decided to find out what it is - immediately fell slopes iskazhaemosti triangular field image using derivatives of integrals of logarithmic differential degree polynomial ... ;-) Whew! Or something in the spirit of this ... :-) Nichrome not understanding, we discussed our demo, listened saundtrak mr.Z 'and that viciously criticized him ... :-) Then met Mitchell and posted Dr.Dash 'and back to Tula - work, damn it! Next Days flowed very often filled with coding, coding and just coding! ;-) More precisely, even days are not, and nighttime, because as a working mood, I just wake up in the dark time of day. :-) But the days are somehow been filled with controversies, shouting and screaming on the theme "What have our demo," ... Uh, it was fun times! Finally, I really had to order fed up and I otpasoval cares about design and content demos on bail SD and mr.Z, while he himself engaged in coding only ... Putting the final touches to DIZZY_4K and adds all other effects for demos ... And on the last Sunday before FunTop'om we even Mitchell managed to drive to Moscow on the legendary sisopnik ZX-Net, having called first to Wlodek'u, of course ... Was very pleased with all learn about and observe life in the capital spektrumistov ... Apparently FunTop will surely - no doubt already no choice! The guys from Antares cheerfully declared that once again their A new demo will be collected at the last moment, and from 20 parts will be thrown out almost more than half! GPV has promised to finish cool chetyrehkilobaytnuyu introhu with completely absent Data and variables! Jason was going to hack to death all the lamer ax ... :-) And someone skazanul that I somehow remind ... IMP'a, well, that of the DMS / RUSH! :-) In general, well traveled! Vozvernuvshis in Obolensk, we continued to prepare ... Discreetly flown week, and already the next morning it's time go to FunTop! A demo was never collected! :-((( Latest chance yet still remained ... Drag three computers in the house to Z'tu and sending Mitchell's sleep for all of us together, we "Spent the night" ... :-) In short, the hard work began, an attempt at least something to build ... Before the Dead End'a 6:00 left ... 5:00 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... All effects were ready, but the manager memory continues to fail regularly! :-( Evil STS constantly somewhere to go, reset properly working ... :-) In addition, I abruptly begin to crumble drives ... In short, a half hour left, hear the nervous laughter, all already know that it rubbish, but none does not diverge, all still something hard to do ... Yes, that's so we are "flying"! In the morning, sleepy, with swollen mugs we met on the the bus stop. Only Mitchell cheerfully sad ... ugh ... sad invigorates ... no, not again ... In general, was more or less sleep and, judging by his sour face, thinking about us bad ... :-) However, not spoken aloud (try to! ;-) :-)). Blockages in the bus, we relaxed a bit, and half an hour can be a little nap, as everything seems to be, and do ... Clearly I would not leave ... ;-) I opened my eyes I at the entrance to Moscow. And awake did not understand - I sleep or have no ... Nearby sat a beautiful girl! Apparently at some stops hooked ;-). Um ... I smiled at the girl, the girl smiled I ... There would be all over and start, but ... Moscow has already been already arrived, was already Fantop! :-( ;-) PRO FUNTOP AND ALL-ALL-ALL ... Part Two. Until the thunder did not burst. Wherever you spit - everywhere people! By "gathering place" we approached the four I and the guys from Hardwave Crew (ex-Laser Soft): Mitchell, Steel Dragon and Mr.Z. Already approaching the metro station "Arbat" I began to look out for sinkleristov. In the crowd every now and then flashed a KSA, then MIC, then ROM ... True, the companions assured me that it's glitches, and I told them, honestly believed ... ;-) Here it is, the heroic school Wlodek'a that the evening certainly bombed and collapse of brick by brick. :-) Bah! And here familiar to all persons ... A crowd of club ... Us meet our good friends from the Tula Group DIO-GEN, and more specifically - Dr.Dash and Next-Stop Studio. Staying in a dozen meters away from the crowds, we started exchanging "predfantopnymi 'impressions and news and of course, be photographed ... Corner of my eye I noticed a "general" get-together a couple of familiar faces, namely the infamous Vel'a and Sergius'a of Kovrov of Proxima. "Aha!" - I thought - "If more and Eternity Industry hang out here, that without the 'showdown' can not do! " Having received from Dr.Dash 'and' on business cards at his brother "(for which he Huge thanks to all), we began to move in the direction Vel'a while I loudly declared that "This guy I already know - it's all known Vel! "When all six happily shook hands with the leader Proxim'y, quite vigorously, Vel, it seems a bit embarrassed and quickly dissipates in the unknown ... Hang down a bit, we decided to "proceed inside," because the number of people apparently did not reach that figure in 600-1200 people, which is frequently used in reports from Enlight-97. Maybe everyone already inside? In the stairwell between the fourth and fifth floors, we again encountered Speccy-men. Not a bit taken aback, Dio-Gen'y soon ensnare a pair of some dude and dragged into a secluded corner on the fourth floor under the pretext of taking the interview ... Hunting for material for the Tula Voyager'a successfully launched ... :-) We continued with Steel Dragon'om easy process "Comparisons" that surround us face'ov with more or less well-known people ... Processing ... founded M.M.A 's face! Here it is, "Great and Horrible Leader Samara Hacker, fiercely ship someone abundance of information ... Little higher also found a pair of dudes representatives group Mayhem, who told us that successfully forgotten disc demos, written in the constant tradition of this group (Ex-Bitmunchers), namely - the day before FunTop'a. Bazaar on the themes of the concept of global programming :-) and etc., we are gradually moving to the fifth floor and the most FunTop'u. By standing in front member'ov Eternity Industry I had to know that somewhere out there behind the hill :-) issued Demiurge Ash, a long time since we're a lively correspondence and exchange soft'om ... Someone else had to throw a rumor, saying that "around here oshivayutsya Daniil and Cardinal of the Kemerovo Binary Dimension Association. Fun discussing an interesting question about "where this chertyaka Daniil reeling, I noticed a guy who suspiciously then squinted at my card, then the face, as if trying on her Brick ... In practice dude was thus about Daniil'om which we talked about. But Cardinal'a all the same was not - here really screwed up the rumors ... Before we knew it all moved so that any longer - then already sitting at a table Fil / Antares and Zx-Shadow and registered members (read - collected grandmother :-) ). And "any place included" had to fill in some form, who picked up immediately myself (why would it do to fill in!) even given the form of voting for COMPO, where Fil personally sign immediately. Over the entrance took 20 rubles if the person was previously registered, or 30 rubles, if not was ... But here's all the difficulties are already behind and we enter the "holy saints "- in place of the" International Festival Computer Art FunTop98 ". Immediately catches the eye relatively small number of people ... It seems that school still will stand in the light of the coming of the day, and did not Wlodek'a fired! :-) It should be noted that for all time the total PARTY number of people hardly exceeded 200, so that crowding was not, and everything was not an example E-97 culturally and organized! So, entering the room, it was possible to behold the idyllic picture of heaps of seats (120 for the recognition of Wlodek'a), already partially employed, but most of them empty (the hour hand is only nearer to the mark 10). Just attended the 4 color monitor, standing on a hill. Average of them obviously suffered lack of clarity, which affected the quality of viewing, of course! On the blackboard, standing nearby, it seems that the only performed Real Time Graphics Compo, which without doubt won Fil, because a stylish inscription in chalk FunTop flaunted no less stylish signature Fil'a ... Chief Electrical Cable zmeilsya center of sex, attached to it with tape or something else and left in nowhere "... As reported later, organizers, all the electricity in the school long ago and had to hurry off "jibe" wire from the "safe house" nearby apartment building that was performed heroically in front of the FunTop'om! (Fifth floor after all!) The people are gradually detected and swinging to a place RULEZ'a. Refueled over the matter, of course, Wlodek Black and Alex (Research), urging everyone present to understand seriousness of the event and nonalcoholic behavior. The people smiled knowingly, as all remember, how did it end Enlight-97. Before the "official launch" people are a little develop, located on the ground, friends and naturally communicate. We took an interesting conversation Daniil'om with the MMA, of which, incidentally, slightly smelling spirtikom ... The conversation went around and around, but overall, it was possible to learn a lot. Daniil never parted with his diktofonchikom, recording all the noises around him on film, so that use them oposlya on purpose, I mean - put in log Kemerovo Deja Vu. After all, come back home without a heap Daniil info with FunTop'a and editor in chief of The Pagan would suit him St. Bartholomew's night in a small personal scale ... Well, yes I digress ... So, M.M.A. we have somewhere lost, but found new interesting interlocutors, namely - the representatives of the Rybinsk el. Journal Adventurer. At FT98 could come only: Chasm / Infosoft / Cpu, Elf / Auryn / Cpu and Shaitan / Surdakar / Cpu. The guys talked about creating the 8 th issue of the magazine and many more What ... And then suddenly appeared ... Demiurge Ash! Who knows - explained that this was a leading organizer in Kovrov of Eternity Industry, letting out a good e-paper BUZZ. So it is what, sowing ... (Ugh, not that!) Demiurge Ash! I must say that He is one of the two best artists Kovrov (second - Paracels / EI) and, as subsequently revealed the results of FT, - one of the best gfx-artist in the world. Satanic grin, Ash told that the PARTY they are exposed to the full program, and namely 4k intro, demo, music and gfx ... Also expected soon The release of the 16-th number BUZZ'a, fully dedicated to FunTop98. Then I was brought into the "waiting room" (a passage between the room assembly hall, where there was a festival and staircase) ... Some good-fellows "prishlepali" taped on the wall campaign posters with pictures of "the hero ENLIGHT'ov" KANO and all familiar MAGIC'a (LOOKER) labeled "traitors Speccy". Well, people's attitude towards KANO known to all, and then what LOOKER'a so? I then someone confidentially said that even Victor wept when he saw a byaku! :-) The poster, of course, disappeared in an unknown destination after arrival of the above mates (in previous sisopnike in Izmailovo Park, someone even suggested distributed to all photos Isayev and MAGIC'a and install face-control :-)) ... More on the walls could be found advertising on the NEMO, picture is reminiscent of a martyr or three sheets ubuhavshegosya zhelezyachnika. :-) Hung out there as something on paper, size 1.5 * 1.5 meters, the than all of the requested leave their tracks preferably with a pen or marker ... :-) In the process it is something PARTY changed its color from pure white to pure gray-brown-crimson dirty. People came up, made smooth (or not) beating hands, and on paper there are various inscriptions such as "Here was a VasyaSOFT "," Long live Electroshock Cool City! "Or" FunTop RULEZ !"... noted, and the author of this article. Grabbing the black token, I cherkanul first thing that came to mind: "It happened SerzhSoft (by accident). "When after about an hour I again was next to a poster, then immediately precipitated, hysterical giggling, because someone had to replace the letter "and" in the second word in "a", and that as a result of this happened, you I hope, have already guessed ... H-yes, cheerful guys gathered ... Next on the same poster we have struck up with Steel Dragon'om little dispute about the assembler. It began when I was in a fit of nakaryabal feelings: "Zx-Asm the best!" SD is not standing beside stand it, grabbed a marker and wrote something like "A STORM better! "At this point I could not resist himself and capturing pisalku (accent on second syllable, and then think what else! :-)), Sketched refutation of "Like a megademu! (Although really STORM CLASS!) Steel Dragon seems to be digressing, but there appeared Dr.Dash / Dio-Gen and confidently attributed to "Alasm RULEZ!" (Or something yet, in the same spirit). But I was going to the gym, because Festival officially has already begun ... PRO FUNTOP AND ALL-ALL-ALL ... Part Three. There is life in the old dog yet! How many beautiful thoughts not lost in the maze of ridges! Initially, there was a big man! :-) While still on the stairs in front of registration, we are with the Steel Dragon'om were forced to "Flattened the wall" until entot "uncle" carries (Jam through, push through, etc :-)) some big boxes ... Pisyuk bear! - We thought then the heat of the moment ... ;-) It was found that it does not PC, but something more native Spectrum'u - new Computer "Sprinter". A "Big Man" was, in combination, the dad of a miracle ... That began to Ivan Mak show the possibility of his "semi-PC-Spectrum. ;-) It was there something like a graphics editor, Norton, cast out, dosas ... color have been different ... I was very bored to be honest .. :-) Out All tyagomotnym cartoon with Straseni digital voice ... ;-) But at least half of the hall, I think trudged along, but all the same second half of what a prepared plastic bags! :-) Do me, at least, have been urging ... ;-) The second was already a "grandfather" Welcome. Here is an example of someone ought to be all take! A thousand rubles in prize money FunTop'a always useful ... :-) Especially - the winners of various COMPO! :-) But then it began ... correctly, - GFX-compo! Images was not very much compared to the E-97, but still - drop dead! (Seventy pieces!) :-) At the beginning of the "fallen" on sweetly painted ... toilet (WILL) - in color, very high-level, well beyond - has gone we go ... ;-) Soon, people gradually began to tire, and got to the point that B & W work have only caused a feeling of irritation (with some exceptions, of course !)... Work TeeRay'a I learned once and understood that the first place, it seems to have defined ... ;-) But vote for it did not in principle - the right, got into the habit, hence, TeeRay draw little man with Babenko - so that, for now every time will take the first place? :-) It should be at least some diversity in its work to make sometimes ... ;-) It cost me a little distracted, when people began deafening clapping, rejoicing in a picture. Looking at the screen, started strongly and I'm glad! :-) In fact, each encoder or the music-maker at least once in their lives downloaded Art-Studio, well, trying anything to draw ... Therefore, KARP all took a picture as something very close to pain familiar and, frankly, - dear! :-))) I would not be surprised if this work took place prize, even in it! ;-) During the evaluation of pictures, I even started something like spisochka liked the work, and there were only color! (So that, gfx-makers, think next time: the prize-winners are no black'white'a! ;-)) And it should be noted that from the outset Festival I periodically "visiting" Reanimator / Diamond and strongly urged to vote for theirs work, and Specific numbers for some reason did not name - to see, forgot to hurry ... :-) I politely promised to think about myself thinking: "Well do I have to face such an expression that I was mistaken for complete idiot? ":-) Although, after a sleepless night, and from the overabundance of feelings (the festival after all :-)) with my face could be anything happening ... ;-) So, after GFX-compo again appeared before me with such Reanimator pathetic expression on his face that I felt almost not guilty of something! ;-) - "Number of images" - immensely sadness I sighed. - "44" - no less sad zavzdyhal Reanimator ... ;-) Looking at your spisochek, I was surprised to find that 44 room (two women with pistol) there is already present, and even in third place ... 8-) So, at least one person on Fantope I blessed! :-) Pictures, like, over, but did not manage people with relief sigh, as people crowded crowd dosdavat their "ruleznye" Work ... ;-) One of them, for example, clearly shows that its the author enters into puberty. ;-) :-) Suddenly stranded voice Wlodek immediately announces excluded from the picture COMPO, that, in fact, the official results will not reflected ... :-) In general, the average rose pictures, well the highest level to rise anyway nowhere! :-) Years fly, but the best Work with E-96, E-97 will always be the best, only a list of their supplemented with pictures FT98 ... ;-) So, GFX-compo over and began a short break in during which interested people showed novelty software - their new developments in the field of toys, magazines, etc. I uniformly moving around the room, exchanging remarks what they saw with familiar and unfamiliar faces. ;-) Enough priodilos often crosses the middle of the hall where I was constantly stumbled on the above-mentioned most important electrical cable. :-) And after indignant eyes, gives me a nearby (Sorry, - to nearby :-)) Pipli, terribly wanted to sink through the ground, and only that FunTop held on 5 th floor and up the land was far enough - stops me from this action! :-) So the threat of Kobe ... GHM ... Cable remained I think with serious! :-) After all, as I said - and stumbled Other Spectrum-compatible friends ... ;-) In the "waiting room" at all unfolded trade license software, T-shirts with the emblem of a gay festival ... Which, after donning successfully copied on the bearing surface - that is to say - at the very sinklerista! ;-) Paint too so ... :-) In the another corner was a brisk sale of various printing products - from the ancient "500 games" - to all activities Inforkoma unforgettable. ;-) At this time, Mitchell / HWC intensified and began to drop dead constantly pull / drag out from the crowd of well-known / sinkleristov unknown, of acquaintance, fotkalis etc ... ;-) Mitchell occasionally notice me, brings me some companion and, poking a finger, uttered with pathos something like: "So, while it is in our SerzhSoft. Coder, a pancake, the Soviet Union ... Three horsepower ... Okay, go ahead ... ":-) And Tour continued ... :-) During one of these "study the leads Mitch boasted Adventurer'om # 08 from the CPU. I, of course, also wanted to push through the new facilities. ;-) And what is most an unexpected and pleasant - the guys with no superfluous conversations presented I branded a copy of his publication, so even inscribed it in the best traditions of ... :-) That's thanks - so thank you! Break is over, and on the agenda the question was raised 4K INTRO COMPO. :-) This nomination was first present at Spectrum-Party, and therefore many were lost at a loss - and what exactly to expect from this category ... "Operator launcher installation was GPV, which began in turn to try to run contest works ... The first was a 3D-LAME, toppled in the beginning after the first run ... Well, the second all already earned as necessary ... ;-) Watching smoothly moving out sprite inscriptions 3D-LAME, I'm disappointed he thought: "Yes ... That's what spend precious kilobytes! ;-( Three-dimensional flat-shape looked, however, is quite good, and for the beginning it was very much on the level. " ;-) The second was Dementia ... Well, the effects here were more, but Here's a general impression, frankly, leaves much better ... ;-) This work came to an end and began to look for GPV, which would run on ... At the same time - well, very slowly ... :-) Yes, some intro had Basic-loader, but the majority went into the form of a code file only, which is mandatory for running need to "drop" :-) stack command CLEAR. Throughout apparently, the organizers were going to watch the intro from the special viewer, which in the rules specifically imposed a restriction on the use of the second page of RAM. But ... Looks punctures happen with the organizers! :-) So, GPV, in the words of sitting next to me Steel Dragon'a "terribly inhibited "- SD was sitting on pins and needles, and constantly struggled to "Jerk" in the side of the stage, in order to run everything yourself, but I also managed to catch him in the "low start" ... So GPV continued to "enjoy the moment", withstanding long "Conceptual" pauses between keystrokes ... :-) When the screen suddenly appeared a line type RUN "DIZZY_4K" I instantly broke out in a cold sweat! ;-) It's still early! - And crying inside of me, but nothing has been done - Intra already gone ... Probably everyone knows - what it is, when the results of your work critically assessed the public - say one thing ... If I was at that time asked about the action team XOR A - I would probably not the answer ... :-) But the cries of "must die" does not seem to observed, and when the people clapped for the first time - to me there a little feel better ... ;-) But here is Dizzy, waving goodbye to its legs, flew off for screen, and suddenly I heard terrible screams: "Author" Author! " I was not himself - seemingly innocent and not guilty ... ;-) Sitting next to SD and Dr.Dash rather unceremoniously shoved me up with his terrible glances, which I transcribed something like: "Come on come on, if not all of us zamochat! :-) And here is my Faith in full view of the hall ... Glory to the Father Sinclair rotten fruit and rotten eggs :-) do not seem to have arrived ... And cake, no one close up! ;-) And thanks to everyone, everyone who was filled with idea and the spirit of "origin stories Dizzika! Seeing that everything was rushed my friends :-) Congratulations, and I fell into a kind of relaxed state - all worries behind, and their program participation in the festival I performed. ;-) And of course there were hopes for some prize, as much without it! :-))) From all the other most memorable intros Oversun by Global Corp, CLOT4K by Image Crew and vector cartoon with a fairly sad (or happy) ending! Moreover, the last word rather aptly reflects the isolation intro! ;-) :-) Also not bad Infinity by Anton Coder - a very nice effect and music! Intra NeverLand by Eternity Industry looked very stylish, and some effects (in particular - lightning and spinning comp) made me a feeling of admiration ... Well, GOA by Exploder generally performed at the highest level of coding, it is clear to everyone! And the presence of music, of course, all dobilo finally ... However, Vav and Eternity is quite cunning and zabatsali all effects in one and the same resolution of 4 * 4, with the same engine ... And effects in the GOA is not in full screen! ;-) In Dizzy same calculation was based the presence of full-screen effects in _razlichnyh_ resolutions. So that after the 8-and raznodvizhkovyh "effects + messagera space Mouzon is no more! :-( Yes, during the "arrival" on Sunday to Wlodek'u was made a call to the headquarters of the Extreme - Magic Soft'u, y which, as it turned out, the house was a genius idea koderskoy Exploder (ex-Vav)! Questions were raised particularly important intelligence-questions from answers to which depend - is it possible to hope I place in the 4K INTRO ... :-) Exploder reluctantly told that going to exhibit and DeMouy and intro. In Deme necessarily "Amiga bagel" (gouraud torus), and inserted in the intro music written by himself Vav. At the same time, rastroenny and at the same time - happy with the results of exploration I went to Mitchell sisopnik in Izmailovo Park, not even knowing _naskolko_kruto_ Exploder managed to "work on themselves"! :-) Music Compo showed his apparent inconsistency. Physically, simply impossible to listen to pieces 40 Mouzon, objectively their assess and properly Vote ... ;-) The quality, of course, was better than average :-), but the volume again trusted to some maniac, in the end - more than half of the hall almost burst eardrums! :-) I mozh in music and not so strong, and can be confused sometimes, "envelope" and "guttering", but hear that there's new zababahali musicians also did not away ... But not two as-a-half hours straight! ;-) Let be Organizers selected, for example, 15 works - that they would have everything listen and evaluated ... But since - Broken headache get! :-( I have a general on the Party had such an evil idea: to utrechka lock all the musicians in a room and let them music at least listen to all day! And in the evening to release the survivors - and let the vote, my dears ... :-) Reduce the time playing Mouzon to 1 minute - it is discrimination musicians get ... ;-) It's better to cut number of papers, admitted to COMPO. So it is not surprising that many in the FunTop'e fully "Scored" on the music and going about their business ... Well at least until drinking, both on E-97, did not make it! ;-) And amizhnikov, as I understand, do not feed bread, but give dance! Though the people amused - and a plus ... :-) The organizers, thinking that people would have time to rest (Accent on the "y" instead of "o" :-)), announce a large lunch break, and people crowd knocks on the street in search of edible and the beer ... ;-) We do the same with HWC in advance were in store any buterbrodiki, pashtetiki, bread (the spectacle, as you already know, we did not have time to finish :-)), gulls, etc. Deciding not absent, we descended to the ground floor and insolent to such extent that moved a couple of benches and right here at the entrance, steel reinforced ... :-) By chance (?) Passing by GPV nearly fainted not crashed when I saw an idyllic picture "Hunting ... ugh ... Spektrumisty at rest!" :-) Waved his hands navrode host "Guess the melody" :-) GPV "strongly convinced" We did not bring the administration before being dismissed Wlodek'a :-) and we amicably relocated to fresh air ... As you know, so even better eaten - refreshed, we bad! ;-) PRO FUNTOP AND ALL-ALL-ALL ... Part Four. Wait! Pick up your jaw, my friend! Leaps and bounds approaching IT - DEMO COMPO! ;-) Waited look all but the margins of the options discussed distribution of seats, ie, "Hide not killed by a bear" already divided, torn apart ... ;-) Everyone already knew who clutch in earnest in this again ... DR vs EXTREME, and that's it! :-) The people looked forward to opportunity to break away at least two downhole demos, well if something else perepadet, then all will be fine! :-) Distressed but non-participation of the rest of the "elite" demomeykinga - E-MAGE (Now who are really able to "nataschit :-) I wish SCRATCHER scored at all ...), PROGRESS (if not lazy - all would surprised! ;-)), X-TRADE (every-frame realtime programming in ILLUSION is very cool, but it's true, by the way ... You guessed it :-) what I mean? :-)), MAYHEM (oh, FYREX, as we did to you came, mentally prepared ... :-)), CODEBUSTERS (GOOD TO BE A KING, yes? ;-)), DMS / RUSH (design of a newspaper, of course, well but why throw Speccy ?)... Well begun ... BOOM tracmo first went ... :-) And for the first demos of the festival, of course, not bad, but from the ETC, I was expecting more ... ;-( Demo TV-X made a leap forward, but with the launch of GARLIC'a all progress slipped below the original position ... ;-) While the first effect in Kharkov demo was pretty decent (Intro). TYRANNY I do not remember - it means really a demo was ... :-) But more has gone from ADRENALIZE GLOBAL CORPORATION, to show that no headway, and has already come closer to the "elite division! ;-) In the middle of the demo there was something that all subconsciously (or consciously) been waiting for - deme "bounce" ... I do not know why, but every sort of sitting :-) nasty sense of responding to someone else's bug, that's all together and began to rejoice, clap, scream "RULEZ!" etc. But children from GLOBAL CORP. not so easy to take ... less than three seconds, as demo continued and appeared on the screen ... "Hanged" - that's a subtle reference to povison! :-))) Next - steeper ... "Flooded" Cobra MK3 from ELITE seen? That's just it! ;-) A 3D GREETS something worth it! Well, on a rotating / distorting chessboard in general all trudged ... Beginning of the next demo (BLAME) looked so LAME, :-) that just Shocking! And when there was a revolving fascist Cross, many were in disbelief ... Heard indictments shouting: "Fascists!" etc. Wikipedia smacks ... ;-) But then demo suddenly decided to switch completely to sprites / animations, and started Veselukha ... ;-) First, I specifically from Proper Color images with half-mad person who is clearly correlated with the cool PC-Schnick of video from the E-96! ;-) Who saw - he will understand me! :-) Next is Uncle Billy (who Gates) have begun to every pervert ... :-) That wigs him all sorts of worn (bald just more fun :-)), then Golovenko zavraschali, But the curtain ... Cake in the attractive face close up - and so sweetly it all looked, that the beginning of the demo all together forgotten ... ;-) Cheered as the people specifically ... Well, from the "error removal windows the program "too many" flew away and got up, although this :-) plot the course has already been used previously (ADRENALIZE) ... At last sounded kind of digitization, and the behavior of MMA, like some navorochannaya, but hearing nothing from the normal sort of no different ... ;-) And the MMA, mournfully waving hand (empty tears :-) Joke!), Went to his place ... :-) The next breakthrough in demomeykinge exercised THE 5TH ELEMENT from ETERNITY INDUSTRY. :-) Demo with a fairly literate and steep effects, but the "fifth element" refers only pictures, but because the plot was not ... ;-( First appeared on SPECCY Environment Mapping (klass!), but otherwise - pretty standard effects with a clear influence POWER UP'a ... ;-) Group REAL MASTERS continued COMPO his new job EMERGENCY. Drop dead cool intro with podfiksennoe videosemkoy authors, Multicolor plasma on a mask, a new derivation Graphics + attributes (8 * 8), the lens in multicolor (!) and other lucky find - that's what delighted eye of the viewer. But when the picture went raindrops - here's all the specific pribaldeli! :-) And it is why! Yes ... this demo is clearly pulling for the prize place! The third position, in my opinion! ;-) Was walking trail KATHARSIS not remember at all ... ;-) I remember - that happened next ... :-) So, this demo was over and suddenly the microphone someone said the voice WLODEK'a: "ARTY, demu wear!" ARTY certainly wanted to surrender Forever at the last moment, but here such oblomchik out! :-) We are waiting, then the organizer DR, but its still no ... In the hall, even the cries were heard such as "ARTY! ARTY!" - And it all before horror began to resemble a children's party or New Year Tree when the kids scream in unison: "Grandfather Frost!", Or: "The Dream-gu Roach-ka!" :-))) But Artie "found" ... with disc FOREVER, and people stood in anticipation of a miracle ... ;-) Wonder was in the form of classroom scene demos, with thoughtful script lots of graphics and animation ... ;-) All specifically drew off ... :-) In general, ienya no words - it must see and feel! Next began a fully "white space" demo MORBID VISIONS, laced, tyagomotnaya and ugly ... :-( Even after FOREVER it was hard to watch anything else! ;-) ENTHROPY had a little fun - people are a bit relaxed slapped a couple of times, seeing the effects of the LYRA MEGADEMO ;-), a pair of just laugh together ... Here the organizers ended the demo, but when they hint that the DEMO COMPO is happy end :-) (the people immediately got excited! ;-)), As MAGIC yelled that there is another job EXPLODER and went to the desk ... :-) People first guard, and then prosekli that now would be something quite unprecedented ... Much excitement, then pumping EXTREME'ovtsy know how! ;-) It has begun! Rams, Whack, UUU-IRS-mmm-boom, boom, boom, To-oo-oo-u-u and-k, boom-tu-ru-boom ... :-) Stuck together / to pieces, zavraschalos / poiskazhalos smoothly flowed in ... flashed / Flown, lit / refracted ... Tili bom-bom ... Wham! (C) EXTREME, 1998! ;-) That's all! :-) Two and a half minutes of total Uleta ... Fractional tap jaws dropped to the floor! :-) And finally, wild howling delight of shocked spectators! ;-) Yeah, in chunks You can zababahat almost all effects from the Amiga and PC! :-) And EXPLODER This is clearly demonstrated to all! ;-) So, XTM, or DR?! The plot, or the code? All thoughtful ... :-) And at this time is dealt finally went to the next job - CRAZY LOVE (where's she used to be, eh? "). Well, yes people were once all have - as a "high mountain ..." :-) We watched, applauded, well, let them ... :-) But this was not the end ... Moscow Group ANTARES long bore her sinister plans, and finally decided translate them into reality! :-) Began "RealTime assembly demos COMPO "! ;-) The people's eyes climbed up on his forehead when KONEX / ATS launched ALASM, then something started to load a page from BASIC! = B-[] Yes, it seems, have decided to ANTARES'y the curtain arrange a fun show for people to show everyone "how much a pound Down and Out! ":-))) Intro run by initially normal, but in the end still folded ... But the audience, though, had to stare at video with the authors of the demo to the music of EA-SOFT'a ... I remember how all uzhastno excited when we appeared on the screen FIL, spun and Pts-Hb slyly grinned - there can be no refrain - chuckle everyone in the hall ... :-) The rest of the demos uzhastno buggy and dropped a few times ... People trudging ... ;-) And some who have studied - as a demo to be collected ... :-) But mozh and next are the same PARTY "Free courses excellence "to conduct"? ;-) Oh, and completed the entire RULEZ :-) parody of the demos from OOPS under name FUNTASY ... Made without a single coder "- as reported our authors. ;-) Actually, it is evident that little kodili, but quite little ... :-) Och-chn cool demo, many liked Only here are some posts a little, um ... weird ... ;-) Especially nice looks literal translation of "hello" out of the hands in your hands! :-) Even though it was non-competitive and the work (which is a pity - in too many demos were full of anima ... ;-)), But looked better than some competitors! ;-) Yes, I almost forgot ... :-) During a demo, I had them even trying to assess in realtime on a 10-point scale, and that's that I got: 1. BOOM (ETC) 5 - to zatravochki ;-) 2. TV-X (DIE KRUPPS) 8 - has looked better 3. GARLIC_R (UFO) 6 - to joke, even above BOOM'a turned out :-) 4. TYRANNY (SYNDROME) 6 - do not remember ;-) 5. ADRENALZ (GLOBAL CORP.) 7 - as a few stars came out! ;-( 6. BLAME (SPEED CO 'SOK) 8 - alien anime, but funny ... 7. 5ELEMENT (ETERNITY IND.) 10 - cool code, design is not enough! :-) 8. EMERGENCY (REAL MASTERS) 12 - WOOW! 10 points not enough! 9. KATHARSIS (MHCG) 6 - no, I do not remember ... ;-) 10. FOREVER (DR) 13 - Anima - fly away! Design is good! 11. MORBID_V (TANKARD) 5 - to what tyagomotnaya demo! ;-( 12. ENTHROPY (ZX-MANIACS)? - Something no assessment ... 13. REFRESH (EXPLODER / XTM) 14 - This is a 10-point scale! 14. CR_LOVE (POWER GROUP) - - after VAV'a - all garbage! :-) 15. DEVOTION (ANTARES) - - And it is generally Veselukha! :-))) 16. PRESSURE (CPU) - - Something does not remember this ... 17. FUNTASY (OOPS) - - In, cool idea! ;-) So, here and over the last COMPO. Organizers collect VOTE-sheets and disappear behind the doors of the small rooms ... Counting of votes began ... ;-) Someone rad with a scene on the audience asks, such as: "Those who wish to purchase in August issue of the journal ZX-FORMAT - come here ... "Elah, burns, as there Rushed people!!! B-) Yeah, known for the "format", is known ... ;-) Instantly been organized pile-small otbivshaya I any desire to buy the magazine ... "All the same, then podmogut friends!" - I thought (and came out ;-) ) And turned ... Slowly stretched out a minute ... It took 20 minutes, half-hour and forty minutes ... Results did not come ... ;-( Many not kept and left FunTop - running out the time of departure buses, trains, trains ... :-( That's really and DIO-GEN'y in full "disappeared on the horizon" ... Mitchell and Mr.Z also barely time to a bus in Obolensk. But we with SD still need to wait because there is hope for a prize in the 4K INTRO ... At this time, makes it possible for a sedated electricity freed DJ GPV :-), but the energy of the seething and looking for ways out of young body ... :-) It is time for the underground "RealTime Coders Compo "! :-))) Winking provocatively, GPV persistently offered all around, "nakodit protsedurku search byte! :-) At last sisopnike was the same (I'll tell you, that tomorrow, "Sysopnik after FunTop" GPV does not stop at their search for victims of coding and meeting a couple of people, like, Sir / BYTEX and it seems that Sergei Novikov ...)! In general, we were sitting, chatting, kodili on a sheet of paper and etc. People around, too, was bored, and some even fell asleep! :-) In the room where the counting was carried out for some reason, "staskali" MMA and Demiurge Ash'a - probably something took, my dears ... :-) Finally, iznemozhdennye organizers crawled across the crowd :-) on stage and announced / awarded the winners ... EXPLODER twice doing the "circle of victory" over the whole room - picked up two first places for thirteenth work! ;-) :-) Another cool jumped on stage ARTY (approving roar of the audience), and pushed a little speech ... :-) Well, I finished second in the 4K INTRO - now at least there is an incentive work on yourself and do the next time the steeper introhu ... ;-) So, the festival ended with a solemn and less ceremoniously kicked out of the street ... :-) Happy End! ;-) I would like to express my great gratitude to the SD and its grandmother - sheltered, warmed, fed, sleep, laid ... ;-) And not really a big thanks to Mitchell, who again came to the utretsa to Moscow and insolently all woke up ... :-) And he was on the second day sisopnik, and had a large number jokes, but that's another story ... ;-) PRO FUNTOP AND ALL-ALL-ALL ... Part of the latter. About sad. I take this opportunity ... Well, all the enthusiasm over and now it's time to talk seriously. I'll start with organizational issues ... The room was obviously small. Yes, all very lucky that present are not so many people, and all more or less included. But Imagine that a person has gathered PARTY 400 - to that small groups would do I run? ;-) Monitors lacking, and for many of the participants was very difficult to read anything on the screen ... :-( What is so difficult was to address the nation to help technique? I just sure that every true spektrumist happy to provided equipment for the PARTY. Ten monitors on across the hall would significantly improve the situation! Pre-registration - it is generally something! I understand for images and music is a must (because of the huge number of papers), but we shall intro and it is absolutely unnecessary! Yes many a month before the PARTY only beginning active work on demoy, and before that usually goes preparatory work on the coding effects, the development of the script ... What conclusions can we draw on Future: 1. Pre-registration only for the music and graphics. 2. Required viewing and selection of works by a competent jury. 3. Fixed number of operations allowed to COMPO. For example: pictures - 30 works, the music - 15 works; demos and intro - 10 works. Otherwise, points earned by voters, will inevitably "sprayed" wasted! Common practice for GFX - Scores of zero sum of points - which still need examples? The remaining work can be displayed outside COMPO - may award "prize People's Choice Award "! 4. Random sequence of the show works - drawing. A otherwise passed at the last moment have a significant advantage in front of the other participants! At FunTop'e It scans quite clearly when Rules of the spit as wanted, and some of them simply spit. I have great respect for all Extreme and Exploder'a as great coder, but wait until the shows all the work and only then take your - Well it's just not fair! ;-( It does not shame! Yes, organizers admitted blunders, one after another! If we are Refresh involved in the Demo Compo, then the organizers must should remain with a competitive drive work, but otherwise it is already Not a member turns out! And if stormozili :-) during the most Compo, we could pick up a disc in the process of awarding! Thus, the work must be pre- selected by the jury (the organizers) and displayed in order of toss. 5. Now that organizers put on such a large responsibility to the people, then do not consider themselves "true in the last resort, listen more to people Discuss ... And then, for example, the timid attempts to Digital music compo was swept away by a descent! Like, it is difficult to determine authorship ... People vote, the people would be identified! ;-) And then out of GFX was pretty much "pumped" charts, though it also prohibited by the rules. I do not say much about the very Party, when half the room needs to declare number of pictures, and the crowd organizers scrambled to the scene to the public, only exchanges glances with astonishment! I do not I understand - as it generally produced scoring? In Blanca is the type number of works! Take a full hour and eventually do not even know the number works! ;-( (!) Yes, as a last resort case - let the authors themselves say their ... But no, they hurry-hurry "fused" with the scene ... Generally, rewarding was in some strange rush - where was the hurry? " Light would have not really given, and he did not play in all this no role. And I largely agree with KANO - in his interview with Style Group - a very valid thought says. I understand that many despise Isaeva, yes it is very straightforward about everything ... GHM ... criticize, but that is all true! KANO I saw live for the first time; impression, frankly, not very pleasant, but thought they expressed are largely correct and timely! And, it should be noted that without critics, many meals do not cook! ;-) And to express the whole truth in the face ... - This is not always dare! Indeed, the last hour FunTop'a almost not reduced all the pleasant impressions about the festival. Many people were terrified disappointed! I deeply respect all the organizers, and Wlodek - general "The hero of the season :-), but we need also to listen to the people! Shame simple, Sanchez-word! ;-) And on the second day of the sisopnike was also unclear what, but conclusions I have had too little "unusual." Long KANO trampled into the mud, but as I understand, in the evening the guests of the capital He reacted with great attention than "some of the organizers" ... ;-) Actually, not everyone coming to the last of his money in Moscow can put a bunch of grandmothers to the small, in general, a piece of meat (shaurma?). And just stand and watch, blowing salivating ... AND ZX-SHADOW also understood the whole crisis situations ... That's because it was "Great division of peoples" to "shawarma lovers / fans hot dogs, and the great skirmish on sisopnike. And I also understood, KANO several people fed! I do not know, I do not know ... Here I have had such experiences after a dispute KANO and ALEX'a (R). A I equally respect both, and even their autographs on my diploma stand side by side! :-))) By the way, ended with a truce of all! ;-) Now on another issue. :-( In Deja Vu # 06 Daniil / BDA very clearly written: "... Then the owners of the capital left for homes, and the guests have gone "guest" at the Kazan station! "Yes ... Stydobushka Muscovites! And it is - the capital of Russia, which, according to the idea must be equal to all the inhabitants of the country. Of course, I'm not saying that Muscovites are out there, such syakie, but one a night to fellow sinkleristov because you can! Shame on you, friends, shame! :-( For example, Digital Reality for all his prize money fed / watered the whole sisopnik - here's an example of this "Stsenovyh" people (no offense to some states ;-)). Yes, I'll now a real fan DR! :-))) So, now about the collection of works, let's talk. Yes, threw them into an echo rather quickly, but ... Again, somehow "Irresponsible." Well, actually, many works were explanatory notes, source code, etc. And where are they? And I had to all FunTop promised that "sortsy to Dizzy can look together with the work itself. "And as I now people in the eye watch? ;-( :-) By the way, some work does not exist in collections, For example, - 2 intro of Excess. From somewhere appeared completely "Left" work - the same ARCANOID! :-) A player with Mouzon, in general, without a bottle can not tell! :-) And what happened to 4K INTRO? Why forbid Use the second page of RAM? Under the player? Well, where is he? If so take all the responsibility on myself, so though not connecting a! ;-) With the forms, which had for a long time to complete and then as his pick - also something strange turns ... And in The festival came to me at all one people, waving 03.04 blank ballots, and even boasted about - they say "I won a cool I can vote! "(his name is" pledge "not going ...) Yes, do not want to raise any murkiness around the results, but will ... ;-) Well, about the confusion with the first and second place in the GFX-compo all have probably heard a lot ... This is a large stone in the party organizers ... But the main thing is still to come ... Quote: "Total has been deposited with 138 correctly completed cards to vote. "So, just 138 Vote-sheets, while the total scores for all the work is calculated as follows: 138 * (1 +2 +3) = 138 * 6 = 828. Verify the amount of points in all categories and was surprised to find that this is true only for 4K INTRO! >: - [] All of the same COMPO other scores is different from 828: Music: 774; (!) GFX: 822; Demo: 818 (10 lost points enough to 1 and 2 positions are reversed! ;-)) Well? How so you can take! Or, perhaps, in some forms, some items are not bear - so if they are not "properly completed" by definition! ;-) Still, even if not so, why not a word comment was not? :-( And in general, _deystvitelno_ _otvetstvennye_ people would long ago have already published all forms of voting (the right / wrong) - then people would have checked them and / analyzed ... And where, one wonders, complete list present? So that organizers FT98, do not have to "bury our heads in the sand" - because people are waiting for an answer to the most troubling questions ... No need undermine people's respect to the first "purely Spec'ovskomu" Festival! :-) Finally I will say that last part I wrote is not from some malevolence, malice, or to pour on someone with dirt ... :-) I just _nadeyus_ that all of the above well, though slightly will avoid in the future all these annoying bugs and bugs! My job - to focus, your - to reflect and work on yourself! ;-) The festival, in my opinion, very much a success ... And how rightly said vyprygnuvshy onstage :-) ARTY: "Keep the scene alive!!! " With best wishes Serzh.
