Information - "round table" Festival organizers FunTop98.

    Roundtable organizers


(C) WLODEK BLACK


  Hello!

  Nov. 7 meeting was held Organizing Committee FunTop98,
Roundtable organizers.

  In fact, the table was not round, but most ordinary
rectangular, but it is literally bursting with treats, for which
and for the hospitality - many thanks to Ilya EA-SOFT-y,
invite participants to the meeting on their living space. Align
pleasant (dinner) with a useful (discussion), we - Alex,
EA-SOFT, SISTER, Sergei Novikov, KONEX, GPV, ZX-SHADOW, Jason 
and Wlodek Black - have done today is another step on the road 
by August 1998.


  Decided to conduct the first test rehearse the work in the 
early December. By this time, Jason will produce the necessary 
equipment for connecting multiple monitors to one computer. We

examine how monitors work, connected in-general,
quite long for the RGB-signal cables from the splitter
signal. If required, the scheme will be further splitter /
redesigned so that the image quality was perfect.
Rehearsal will be held in Hall 91-th school, but, of course, 
without viewers. Pose while only 2 monitors, but also places for

others too will pick up. On spring break plans
to conduct a dress rehearsal - will supply all equipment
(Computers, monitors, audio equipment) so as to be
Festival, and run in all modes, which are close
to "combat".

  Unequivocally agreed that the music player and
the visual graphics will be written specifically for FunTop98. 
In Therefore now the question arises of graphic logo

Festival. We call on the proposal to all
artists-spektrumistam, regardless of place of residence:
Let's start this job! Contest terms of elementary -
Draw a symbol of the festival so as you can see it. At least for
the entire screen, at least for a little "icon". Then take a 
look, compare the and choose the best picture for splash in the 
text, and "caps" diplomas (which manufacture took the Alex), 
and, uh ;-), Special editions NICRON-a :-).


  For musicians who are starting to prepare for work in August 
1998, Request: Please allow both the original and

compiled versions of your tunes. Will play,
more likely it is compiled tunes - so not only
easier but also safer. It's no secret that if the editor
source tunes can be heard in full accordance with the author
idea, then from under the player's source tunes can
resound otherwise. With compiled Mouzon is not
occur, as they say, by definition, because in the executable
block codes contained absolutely everything his own, native - 
and the melody, and tools for translating it into sound.


  Graphic works will be shown in two passes - the first time
all in a row, one after another, with minimal pauses, and the 
second same time. On the first run, viewers will become 
familiar with all works, and the second one will wait for it to 
him grown fond picture to detect its serial number and recorded 
in the ballot. On a different principle to show

50-100-150-200 work is simply impossible! Posozertsat pictures 
in their pleasure, without haste, have been after the Festival.


  Demos show completely, 10 minutes for DeMouy. Each will DeMouy
asked to assess on a 10-point system, and the winners will be
determined by a simple sum of scores. The graphics and music, 
apparently, will preserve the principle of selecting a job 
number to the first, second and third place, with all the 
shortcomings of this technique, otherwise hardly possible due 
to the large number of works in what is already Now there is no 
doubt (!). 

  Parameters of real-time effects in demah will need as
before, customized by "Pentagon-128. It has become a tradition,
and we see no reason to disturb her. Although there are ideas 
to organize at the Festival of "arbitrary nomination" - 
although at 14 MHz, even below 1 megabytes ... Only then vezite 
with a computer, without emoticons! But let's talk about it ...


  Reaffirm the need for pre-registration
participants and papers. Please write to our address ZXNet,
Internet, Fido, and can address NICRON-a. For participants who 
do not covered by communication networks, to report on pages 
NICRON-and their normal coordinates (in an echo ZX.SPECTRUM I 
already threw them and still kina not again!): Moscow, zip 
107241, address: Schelkovskoe Highway 31, Apt. 7. Vladimir 
Bulchukey. Phone 462-89-02. 

  But registration is registration; however dry and cold may be
this word, but we remember you, friends of Enlight-am! We will 
send you an invitation to all those who know who made friends! 
But newcomers, help yourself declares itself more boldly!


  In our opinion, the most reliable in terms of
Privacy collection method prior work - sending of
them on floppy disks via regular mail or personal transfer from 
hand to hands. Alex guarantees confidentiality in transit by

Internet. If work is not ready, and gradually completed in the 
past minutes - please inform about its existence!


  ... I am writing this note in "hot pursuit" because 
"FunTop-nick" took only a few hours ago. In an echo ZX.SPECTRUM 
will sent a similar message in the coming days. All items

Festival of free discussion, so please all
interested, primarily, of course, to future authors
work: actively join the dialogue!

Yours -
Wladimir Bulchukey.
