Guess the Melody + - - - - -

                         Nicholas Vitenko


    Today I want to tell you not to
bordyurstve, and on the progress of implementation
project of several groups - the game "Guess
Melody. "


    The first (trial) version of the game (demo version) is 
already made. It looks like this: first comes the entry, then 
window appears four titles and played a melody. Within 20 
seconds you need to guess it. The remaining time is displayed 
in the upper left corner, the remaining number of melodies - in 
the upper right corner, and the number of points about middle 
of the top line. Window with the names of tunes - in the lower 
left corner of the screen. The main (background) picture - yet 
as in the intro to the ZX-Time # 6. The choice of tunes is the 
corresponding digital keys. If you guessed it, the rest of the 
time end up in your glasses, the melody starts again, and 
sounds until the team continue. If

you have not guessed, the points you get and
will be loaded the next tune. If
during the time allotted to you was not trying to
guess - then the melody falls silent, and loaded
next.

    As you can see, all the while "wet" and not to
Streamlined end game. However, even
developed a common vision and goal of the game -
to guess as many tunes. Although
general "play" at this stage is implemented only in order to 
identify bugs in main cycles of work.


    While the bank 187 tunes.

    Melody, their position in the list are selected by the 
random numbers. I do not know what melody will

play and what it will be in the list (it
no wonder:))) - approx. DWT). Lost
melody is not repeated, regardless of
that they have been guessed or not. In general,
can be "dimmed" design, something to add, is shorter than the 
normal release demo. There was a glitch that I have in two 
weeks he could not catch. But yesterday he was with the success 
of "profit." 


    The demo version will release in April-May
(;-)) this year. Everything, basically, depends on Sergio, who 
is engaged in design, testing, and their prevnosit ideas.



    Nik-O has done his job. A trial version of the game for 
Sergio Max sent. If have suggestions for the game - write to all

attend.

        Doors 2002: Project AQUA


    At the moment I'm completely rewriting systems D2K with the 
name change by AQUA - changing the structure and system

Total! This is not the File System, as before, but a complete 
system - OS! Jobs sharpen a HDD 'CDROM only, because I see no 
prospects in floppy! System implies instead

BASIC 128 - BIOS! BIOS includes
setting HDD 'CDROM - Download Type
(Where will butovatsya) in a memory test,
working with CMOS and other nuances, also implies a different 
adjustment TRDOS to emulate it on the HDD and intercepting 
calls to ports VG93! And therefore there are a couple of 
questions: 


    1. Do I need a ZX general OS?

    2. And you personally?

    3. Which model ZX you have?

    4. How many of your memory?

    5. If more than 128k for some ports

       extension?

    6. Do you have a HDD and / or CDROM?

    7. If so, what model and ka
       Coy circuit connected?

    8. Will you alter yourself ROM

       basic 128 on the BIOS?


    That's still short and all I would like to know more about 
the project AQUA, will CWEEK # 24. Questionnaire

be sent to:


    e-mail: breeze@twilight.org.ru

    From the Editor. (DWT) Here is the answers
the questionnaire directly to the newspaper, so
as being in inet-club necessarily
forget to do it:):


    1. Yes, definitely!

    2. You bet! Of course!

    3. Pentagon

    4. 1024K

    5. By Pentagon'u (wildcard # E7), and

       also Profi

    6. Unfortunately, no.

    7. - /
    8. Yes.

    Well that's all. Fortunately, people still
do something. And games, and magazines, and wasps.
Naturally, without your support, dear spektrumisty, all of 
these initiatives may well die: (. But I think you people are 
conscious and have downright huge conscience and that's why you 
write the esteemed authors doubtless being wanted feedback on 
their projects, thereby supporting them emotionally.



    In turn, I like acting Editor
very hopeful about the future preservation
this section (Draft). For this
ask all the authors of programs that prepare
their projects for release to write to us to say at all about 
the new CIS undoubtedly The steepest your project:)



      Good luck to you, the author of!
