       Hello fans of "pokodit!


  With you again I, VNN. Today I will not
bother you "exercise" on how to do chtolibo BORDER-e. Today I 
want to tell you how to make a "FLAT" player tunes ("flat" - 
meaning, playing, takes the same number of cycles

when you play any sample and note).


  What is it good? Have you tried to do something to curb the 
vertical and while playing the melody of any

muz.redaktora? Twitching like crazy, right? So I want to help 
you this cause the brakes. How to do it? Very

Easy! Need to "play" the melody (one
frame), to take 14bayt data from the buffer
player, throw them into the page (free) and if the melody is 
not over, quickly move to the top, of course not

forgetting to increase the buffer address.


  And here a big bummer. The point
that the melody to the age 3Kb.,
can now take a 30Kb. But nothing
can not be helped, otherwise no way. At least I did not fall 
into any one editor who has worked as a player would "Exactly."



  You've probably seen my intro to the 3,4 and
5 rooms for our newspaper. There is just
used such a system. Annex
this number is the source "raskladchikki" melodies and of 
course - himself player. By the way, it takes a minimum number 
of cycles. This player is designed for "Pro Tracker 3.x". For 
use with the other he will not do. Need will carefully study 
the work of the original player and make the appropriate 
changes in the mine. If anyone needed versions for other 
editors "Mylte" at the editorial office and when you specify 
for any editor you want a quick player, I'll send it.



  At the moment there are players under
"Sound Tracker", "Pro Tracker" (anyone
except for v2.4 (not yet engaged), "Pro
Sound Creator 1.07 "and" Sound Tracker
Pro ".


  Can not be obtained with "SQ Tracker".
Probably because the editor at
I do not have, and the Golden Max does not
will or will not find it on the Internet.


  On this, perhaps, that's all. Next
time will be "flat" text scroller. Sources in the "Alasm 4.XX" 
(the steepest assembler). 


  P.S. "Guess the melody" moves from the
deadlock. Max I already "got"
so I have kodit (during outstanding! Oh
and you'll be me then my mother for
code). Schedule as long as one does Sergio,
music wrote Nik-O. Already done intro
(My "horse" in the code). Sergio did
cool intro to the game, it is I ipolzoval and in the intro, 
Troshkov be adjusted to (Sorry Sergio, but otherwise the border 
could not otsinhrorizirovat and there to draw:))

music by Oleg did "Bubka Bubka in with TVigry and earn a second 
intro (Thanks Oleg, have expanded and

"Spivaet).


  Little about the game itself. Thinks it
not one to one with a TV game, but a mixture of games
"Guess the melody" with "The First Million" (for
Russian viewers, this game is called
"Oh, lucky man!"), Ie, there will be some,
your choice, time to play the melody,
will be 4.3 response. Among them will need to
guess is correct. Guessed it - got glasses and listened to a 
melody, not - and in Africa no. Punishment I have not yet 
invented, and Denis, Max dyuzhe cruel ;-)



  If someone wants to speak about the matter in a scenario game 
or the editorial office write to my inbox (vnn@torba.com),

only infected note: I'm not cool coder, I'm addicted to the 
curb. And as he said coolest coder Civil War

VI Chapaev: "I did not finish academy." A
Seriously, I am an ordinary Donbassovsky miner, and the 
formation of 8 classes + College. And if something in the codes 
and secured, it is only through breaking and perseverance. And 
besides, after 5 years of retirement (If you live to see it ;-)
