Events - a detailed report, photos, and results of CC01.

        Moscow: eve


Wlodek Black



   Muscovites trip to St. Petersburg this year's preparations 
have not so smoothly. Played a role ambiguity, and shortly 
before the first summer festival - Paradox 2001 - still 
pulsating mood skip to Rostov, and there come what may. Nothing 
bad to say about the Paradox not want (!), Just crying to our 
money. Well, mine, at least, two trips - will not do. In the 
warm south we did not go, but in the opposite direction of 
tickets, too does not have:) and sat almost to the CC01 with 
frivolous confidence: "In extreme cases, will leave on trains 
;-)!". In Overall, thanks again BigBlack-have for all the 
personal correspondence which he did not regret time and 
effort, and for the site cc01.org.ru - information and 
subsequent to the conviction did their useful work. The 
conference Zx.Spectrum in Fido Max Vasilyev periodically put 
mails from the Organizing Committee, so fidoshniki were also 
informed. Similarly, in ZXNet. How much time to monitor the 
process of non-network spektrumisty hard to say ... By force of 
habit:) I took the application and tender work by regular mail, 
and though hopelessly belated works This time does not happen, 
one letter from a floppy disk it is exactly eve of his 
departure:). I was able to use email, and work successfully 
reached the ferocious:) preselektorskogo eye MMA, came to 
Petersburg for a few days before the Festival. 

   And we went on Friday evening at one of those extra express 
trains, railway authorities are appointed for A few days before 
departure, depending on the availability of demand for tickets. 
Specifically, it was a train number 52, departing at 21.52. As 
predicted, Boris Sharapov (Oper), "for the month you do not 
take tickets, and before - no problem." Probably, it should go 
further, the main thing that CC02 place ;-). 

   52-second fast, despite all the sudden get tickets
it turned out to be in our understanding of "stsenovym train" 
that means the joint visit of several art groups or

just a festival guests from different cities. Max-78 and of the 
Hangman Naro-Fominsk buy tickets with us, but Placebo (this

Eternity Industry in the past!) From Kovrova ... However, prior 
to the meeting the train still had to survive, in the sense of 
still had time to finish the contest DeMouy, and Placebo on 
Friday afternoon went to me. And my day job (blin!), and some 
are not small time kids spent on a bench near the entrance, 
waiting for my return home. But check out how the court changed 
in comparison with the last year's state (it was chaos, but it 
became very constructively: lawns, fences, asphalt, lighting, 
etc., including the shop where you can sit back and wait 
Vlodek). 

   Sairoos, getting to the keyboard, immediately immersed 
himself in work; 



        Sairoos the computer Wlodek'a


Paracels during periods when Sairoos-in did not require moral
support, bored; D-Man rewrote my PC photos taken in August 
2000. One of the photos found out that same, but the 
broken-down, the yard, where it was possible to sit except on 
the rusty pipe, which played the role fence ... "A" (Eternity 
Industry) and "B" (Phantom Family) sat on the tube. But there 
were many, but it was a year ago ...


   A Sairoos pored over Alasmom ... In it he otoletsya ...
Hmm, which is what I said ...


    Morning, evening ... harder:)


   Leningrad railway station of the capital. Warm and dry 
summer evening (Incidentally, all four years - 1997, 1999, 
2000, 2001 - lucky with good weather, where is she, the 
notorious "drizzle Petersburg heaven?"). 

   Two with beer: Happy Crazy / PCB (he was a few minutes
become a passenger) and unflappable Merlin (Dmitry Nesmachniy, 
he We escorts). The rest of the Placebo: Paracels, Sairoos, 
D-Man. Max-78, Hangman and Cyberfreak of Naro-Fominsk. Phil 
(Pheel / PHT, like that now!) and Vlodek - from Moscow. Boris 
Sharapova No, but he was going to reach St. Petersburg at the 
end of "World" hitchhiking, with Timothy Lapo, so that our 
party, the as always, will be assembled. True, the "party" 
could be more, but ... In the words of Quasar, diapers and 
undershirts absorb spektrumistov ... " - Andrew Juice (Konex / 
Antares) osemeynilsya, with what and congratulations ... A 
group of Antares left now history. Third party Antares - Ilya 
Abrosimov (EA) - left at Peter with her sister for days before; 
meet at CC. 

   ... Time - the third hour of the night. Stop in Bologoe, 
silence. Passengers sleep, languid conversations, not even 
available so above the general din, has long ceased. Well, 
slipped into those conversations a couple of times the word 
"beer", well, just once missed the "gin and tonic" ... "Vodka" 
was not. And so, therefore, in silence, to stop suddenly hear 
the train distinctive sound: "B'eeeeeee, then gurgling and 
rustling, not leave is no doubt the origin of the sound ... I 
silently figeyu; passengers somehow did not occur, no one 
yelling, not calling the police ... Strange. Strained sound is 
repeated in the neighboring places two girls start to laugh (an 
interesting reaction:)). AND everything. The train starts to 
move; Investigate the morning ;-). 

   Accustomed to come to St. Petersburg at 4 o'clock in the 
morning, the first time we were on the platform of the Moscow 
railway station in broad daylight, as our train arrived on 
schedule in six hours. The weather was good, It was light and 
perfectly clear everything except: 1) other spektrumistov 2) 
traces a derailment express ER-200, the incident here a few 
days earlier, and 3) other traces of collision ER-200 with a 
dead end. Paragraphs 2 and 3, we know from the media and 
stories friends who were traveling in a train, under which the 
course was transferred to arrow (!).

   August - the month of disaster! Nothing, September still 
show who better! (However, if we did not yet know).




                    (Picture from www.bk.ru)



   Max-78 looked almost normal, despite the overnight adventure 
in the car:). That's what youth! ;-). 

   ... And that's kind of Crazy / PCB (from the second car 
appeared Placebo) much to be desired ... It was found in the 
second car at night, something happened same! :-)


   Traditional crowd with four-hour trains, apparently had 
already left on Prospect Veterans, so the strength of (Max 
blevanul again) and taking tickets for the return train 
(Placebo), We deliberately went to the cinema "Sunrise". 
Conducted in CC01 the same place.




      Stsenovoe Event 01 (CC01)



   ... The crowd was not found, and near the cinema. And inside 
- too. The doors were opened, the hall - is almost empty. Those 
who had been in charge. Nemo has already installed two 
computers and one of them immediately sat down Sairoos. The 
position of Captain Nemo was located at the corner Hall, left 
the scene, it was the most distant from the input-output-place 
passages. Next door on the wall of the hall was posted 
Paradox-game advertising and a "3D Roost" with juicy 
inscription means free:). Middle, in front of the stage, was 
organized control panel with a projector, computer, audio 
equipment. Wires hanging from the ceiling was not even on the 
microphone is not stretched cable - used wireless microphone. 
Space to the right of the stage, occupied last year, "Peters", 
now vacant. "Sprinterovtsy" and have not appeared, despite the 
change of the festival organizers. On a stage adorned the 
banner of the journal "Hacker", and other symptoms of 
guardianship was not observed. Somewhere among acquaintances 
and strangers, without the hassle of working with wires and 
keyboards, was to be himself BigBlack - Oleg Sergeyev, Chief 
Organizer. In the end, it was identified by badge-plate with 
the name.

   The schedule of contests, originally provided
continuous polutorasutochny Marathon has been adjusted in the 
direction of the traditional division between "first" and 
"second" day. The first day actually turned out to be entirely 
given to the Spectrum, and this generally welcomed. Started 
with AY-music from the very bad:). Conducted under the guise 
and pisishny Music Competition in I have not entered too ;-).


   Strobe, madden last year, this
times acted in more than quietly; ultraviolet light room
also not to impose companions. Fill sheets for voting accounted 
for the most part in complete darkness, I escaped drafts on 
plain paper, then rewrite in the light of relevant data to the 
ballot. But it's still better than a flashing strobe flashes. 
The next party will have to grab a pen with light:). 

   Displaying graphic work was carried out twice, to evaluate 
the work and to pinpoint the necessary facilities for the 
surrounding voting lists could be without difficulty. Showed 
almost all the work, timid attempts preselekta stopped on the 
line from the additional work of authors already participating 
in the contest. List of works and earned scores are published 
in the Results section. Despite to comply with rules on 
non-sponsored logos learn leading grafistov style not difficult.

The result of Phil is quite obvious, but the result is quite 
fair! Congratulations to Phil - in the studio! 



        "Prisoner of Time" (c) Pheel / PHT



   Contests intro 512 bytes and 4K, entrenched in the demoscene 
ZX during the last three years, had good content and

CC01. Supershedevra level "C2H5OH" this time did not happen, but
strong work were presented. If we speak about work style,
You can allocate vector graphics, "chunks," "plasma" and 
animation. Fine effects can be divided into two-dimensional and 
three dimensional. The third criterion could be the presence or 
absence of music or audio snippets, here and b / w-color.


   With a singular refinement can get to the surf scene work, 
its meaning, theme, or is it just a set of effects. All the 
same applies to the "big" demonstration (megademo, demo), often 
literally true: the effects used in the intro, then meet in 
demah the same authors. 

   Not subside debate: what is more important, a slim machine 
code or entertainment? Glamor or the plot? Can be evaluated

and vote separately "for the code," separately "for the form?

   In short, you can divide and along and across, and 
diagonally ... 

   You can do nothing to divide, and pre-tick
for your favorite friends ;-)) ...

   On CC01 voted for work as a whole, without division of the 
criteria. In my opinion, this is correct. While I am you can 
listen to the least ;-)), I voted for "2001 4k intro", and this 
work has taken in his nomination last place of honor:). As they 
say, taste and color ...


   It should be noted that the difference in points in both 
intro-categories in each of the "first triple" small.


   I advise to pay attention to the work titled "CC01 Fun"!
She did not pass the competition due to excess size 4K, and is 
virtually out of the animation, but ... funny, though! If it 
scroll through a few times, you can reach hysterical :-)). As 
they say sceners, "rulez":). (Summary: The two letters "C", 
trembling with fear, trying to get to the theater, 
"Sunrise":)). 

   But the topic of 512-intro "Easter eggs on ORT" - "Freedom 
to Sergei Dorenko "- has plunged into a light shock :-(. What 
kind of freedom, by what right?" Let the court decides, for 
nefig. 


   Competition game programs - the first attempt ... That is 
the first sign ... The first experience on the ZX-demoscene (at 
least for the CC). Nomination "32K Game compo" was introduced 
at the request of the authors, who wanted to put their game 
programs to the audience. 

   "Hunt of Sparrows" - a classic shooter with no claim to
plot, it seems, especially for the contest:); "Farspace" - 
something arcade-logic and "Arcanoid" - that is understandable 
(and thus robust design). Plus two "Dizzy" (also see the list 
of works) out of the competition, but with success, perhaps 
more. "Dizzy B" and "Dizzy XII" deserve a separate article in 
the newspaper! 

   In general, the presence of the game allows you to show off 
the skill category in the same triad of programming, graphics 
and music, if demostroenie - not your specialty. And if the 
game still be possible and want to play and then, if quite 
good:). A if the game is created as a separate software product 
for users and has a high level of quality, it is the competition

do not put up:). I type so I think:).


   Tenders were clearly on schedule, and generally as we move 
from the beginning of the first day only confirmed normal 
levels of the organization of CC01. No one shouted from the 
stage, "All Suck!" Nobody nazhiralsya "in the insole. Public 
order police ensured that if there was noticeable, but only in 
the face officer handsome woman:).


   Breaks between the contest is about thirty minutes. Using a 
warm, sunny weather, people came out into the yard. 

   One intermission arrived Evgeny Buder. His red "Quartet" 
shone as if brand new, and only another Leningrad license 
plates could guess what the true age of the machine. That's the 
way to go! But Evgeny traveled on their "Lada" half of Europe, 
including Moscow during FunTop98:)! We took pictures together. 
Evgeny asked whether we have found a place to sleep, but with 
this, then We are always all right:). Daytime running through 
Timothy, hurrying to work, reported that Boris (Oper) does not 
come, as he decided to return to Moscow :-(, and in the 
evening, after work, you will be LAS. We also photographed. 
Generally a good solar illumination disposed to taking pictures 
on the street, and I started a camera. At the same time and 
podnaseli me with requests for photos, as a result managed to 
do a lot of shots. A couple of times successfully capture 
Screamer-a, in order to bring evidence those wrong who

argues that there is no inflow of young people on the Spectrum. 
It turned out that he is a nice guy:). Photos are made, and 
talk plainly did not work .... 



               Screamer



   With a bottle of beer in his hand and plenty of drink thereof
inside:) Thank Mednonogov moved. Somewhere nearby, he had ... 
hit by a bus (!), but without visible effect ... 

   On a bench near the house next door etched Placebo,
Pheel, ZSV. I well remember the contents of the gallery and 
CC000, scattered across the Internet, I decided to photograph 
mainly CC01 "Their", that is just my friends and good friends, 
as others will certainly be to do the same, then there will 
also be photographed only "their", and do not expect to see 
themselves and their friends on other people's pictures, even 
if my friends will be among the winners of competitions, climb 
onto the stage, etc. 

   Everything is exactly what happened! So amizhnikov and 
pisishnikov at my pictures you almost can find it in jpg 
spektrumistov boldly looking at http://wlodek.newmail.ru or 
http://wlodeks.boom.ru. Some of these photographs, 
skonverchennyh in pcx, quoting here. And, of course, as always, 
thanks to Phil for scanning and imaging! 


   Demo compo, the most interesting visits and evaluates the 
contest was to be held in the evening Spectrum of the day, but 
was postponed to Sunday. Organisers took the decision, taking 
into account the unavailability of work groups, Placebo and 
Eye-Q. The crash of the speakers in the dark, all the 
concentration of the internal forces separate from the general 
commotion of the hall, Sairoos continued to pile up naughty 
bytes ... Probably not less suffering, and the other coder 
group. Postponing the contest organizers are not only 
technically improved demo compo, to admit five works, instead 
of three, but arrived just as a human, though. Demo - a genre 
in which the most difficult to stop there, so job creation 
continues just until the show, and even After not stop, giving 
the Internet, "poslefestivalnye" versions, which are 
distributed, and collect as already quite formal "release".



   The first day was marked by another musical competition on
PC'Amiga, conducted in the remaining time. By evening, there was
Work for weIrd: the unofficial site of the festival went to the 
first Photos taken with a digital camera. By the way, weIrd, 
she's First Lady Gerasimov from the city of Novgorod - a unique 
phenomenon! That is the "Stsenovy" a person who is known to all 
is not due to the "steepness code demos, "or any another slope, 
but its inexhaustible educational and organizational activity. 
She did not spektrumistka, she just beautiful girl! :-). 

   Unofficial site of the festival CC01:

        Ekaterina Gerasimova - weIrd



   At half past nine in the evening daily has noticeably faded 
in August, there is no great white nights, one of which we have 
seen in CC999. 

   Phil has flatly decided to stay the night in the auditorium 
of the cinema, and we with Max-78 and Hangman-ohm LAS handed 
the key to his apartment, accompanied by detailed instructions 
for travel to October embankment; himself LAS joined Phil and 
the rest of the half a hundred visitors, which chose, 
voluntarily or involuntarily, hard wooden seats in the cinema 
as a bed. I strongly suspect that sleep in the usual sense in 
the room will not take place, most likely will, if not orgy:), 
then close to it. And the three of us left.
