Chaos Constructions '999 - report (continued).

(C) Wlodek Black



   Hello!
Nicron continues the story of CC'999 ...

   So in the middle of the first day in the school yard in 1979 
hanging out St. Petersburg's team spektrumistov and do not dare 
to climb in the hall ...


   Voice Vyacheslav Mednonogova I really learned is correct,
but fumbling hand around him, suddenly discovered the recorder 
...:) But quickly found Timothy Lapo. Conversation was 
something like the following: 


   Timothy Lapo: Glory, that means to you is such a thing as
Spectrum?


   Vyacheslav Mednonogov: Before or now?


   Timothy Lapo: Now, specifically now.


   Vyacheslav Mednonogov: Not yet means a lot.


   Timothy Lapo: So you are doing something for this, or just 
watching? 


   Vyacheslav Mednonogov: It is still doing, because, as I
said to me the Spectrum - it's money. In contrast, someone
another, for me the Spectrum - the money. Commercial activities.


   Timothy Lapo: How do you otsenievaete Chaos Constructions? 
Will he develop a commercial line of Spectrum? 


   Vyacheslav Mednonogov: CC999? While five points! Because
that I have not been there yet! ;-))) People came, the money 
paid - as long as everything is fine. 


   Timothy Lapo: The main thing is that they get paid. :)


   Vyacheslav Mednonogov: From a commercial point of view. :)


   Timothy Lapo: Does the your previous statement, in the sense 
that you will engage in a Spectrum only until it makes money?



   Vyacheslav Mednonogov: You know, I think so too. I tried them
do this to make money. But I feel like a pancake:)
which delays the swamp ... I mean ... (Laughter around) These 
people that around ... I can not for the money. Obtained

for the sake of ... Yes, fun!



            "Party" in the school yard.



    One colorful detail: during the entire first round of the 
day We curled local alcoholic (or a bum:)), we named him

"Bill Gates" ;-))! Anyway, he showed exceptional
Intelligence ;-)) and was pleased conducted conversations on 
all topics, even using the term "rulezz" and "mustdie"! ;-))




   "Bill Gates" (center). (Right - Vyacheslav Mednonogov). :)


   Captain Nemo, he hardly went to school there and then "took 
a turn" Frunze, Timothy Lapo with voice recorder had only GPV 
settle down there, but even he managed to "break through" to 
the hero Report:




     Vyacheslav Skutin (Captain Nemo) in front of the lens 
Frunze. 



   Timothy Lapo: Glory, you have come here only as a producer
iron. How do you assess the professional look dissolves
around?


   Nemo: Yeah. Although as a producer of iron, I would somewhat 
shifted the emphasis. Should be created on the nomination 
contest programs that bring real benefits. Demomeyking, of 
course, well - new ideas, searching for some alternatives, but 
this peak results, they add customer value components small. It 
would be nice to enter a nomination for the system program, and 
the best game software. With prizes! I would like to devote 
real attention to those who write real programs. 


   Timothy Lapo: How about a nomination for best "zhelezyachny
product?


   Nemo: Well, I'm afraid to answer ... The barber does not 
shave himself. :) This is Russell's paradox. Anecdote is not 
that I commend themselves, and that nobody else does anything.



   Timothy Lapo: A GMX?


   Nemo: GMX long been released ... And then what?


   Timothy Lapo: A "Sprinter" ... It seems to already have the 
prerequisites to competition?



   Nemo: Rather calculation for instant promotion effect. 
Machine need it to bring real benefits. I can give

concrete example of how this works. For example, there is such
people - Igor Maznytsya. Why do I say about him? Because
typical example. He actually went to the firm of Peters' on
Advertising "Sprinter". Along the way, he learned that they do
pisyukami, and the firm, in which it operates, was the firm's 
clients "Peters." I'm just showing an example of how this works 
and to Why is this done.



   Timothy Lapo: newly formed organization - the National 
Endowment for the Spectrum. " Conducted some meetings, levied 
any fees ... I do not know the language itself, but I I know 
that you were present at the organization of the Fund. As you 
generally appreciate his work and articulate? 


   Nemo: Regarding presence - it sounds ambiguous. That is
I was on one, well, get-together to discuss this
topic sufficiently representative people, but to a particular 
case there did not happen. What I said to the organizers: The 
first: you no do not know why credibility might not be, then I 
think that such a fund is actually - this is a stick about two 
ends: on the one hand, it is good, but on the other hand it is 
not clear how the public will behave - centralized pumping 
"grandmothers" leads to theft. About myself I can not say that 
I am in control of some significant part of the turnover in the 
market of the Spectrum, so I depend on the market and work on 
it. Another thing is that there is no direct parasitism ... The 
platform is still alive, while in the platform is cash flow. 
Cash flow we have so far there, but - at the level of 
resuscitation. But the platform is still alive, has not 
collapsed. 


   Timothy Lapo: What other projects will continue to be 
implemented in life, some maturing plans?



   Nemo: I can say only that it depends on us, or
We tied at least a little. Yes, some projects there.


   Timothy Lapo: This will be a surprise?


   Nemo: not such a surprise. People were warned and
prepared. Yet specifically talk about what will
released, I do not want to, because no one is immune from
accidents, and anything can be frozen for many
anything long term, what an example ... Well, I will give an 
example. :)




        LAS: "This is a video camera! Smile! ;-)))"



   ... As it turned out, interesting (at least
for me ;-)) meetings could be more. At present Alex CC'999 
Shalin and Igor Maznytsya. The first is best known as Holder 
Site http://speccy.iscool.net, which paved Download the latest 
demos from all the festivals, the latest freeware games 
otechstvennyh authors and Russification of foreign programs 
and, most importantly, archives ehokonferentsii Fido 
ZX.SPECTRUM over the past three or four months, all the 
software, which took place on it. It is maintaining an archive 
ZX.SPECTRUM earned well-deserved fame and popular site of Alex 
Shalin, as it allowed all "Internet users" is easy to receive 
content ekhi, not even keeping track of it regularly. I am very 
pleased to use this site and I can only thank Alex Shalina for 
his remarkable work. The second character is known as a friend 
and colleague Andrew Savicheva on Conference 
relcom.comp.speccy, project NFSP (a separate talk ...) and, so 
to speak, generally on an Internet Peter. At least in the past. 
I would hope that the differences among these spektrumistov 
fade. Andrew Savichev do not came to CC. (Many should remember 
Andrew as a Savicheva member of the Organizing Committee 
FunTop98 registration works and how the author's fantasy novel 
"Seven Days - Seven Nights," which continues to publish 
Nicron). When I learned that these people were at CC, I felt 
awkward and even insulting, that we, sitting in one room, not 
met, no chat. I did not know in person! I forgot your homes 
"breastplate". Here is a trifle may bring more grief! And I do 
not know in the face of Alex Shalina, and Photos by Igor 
Maznytsya I saw on their website RRG, and I remember now that 
he saw Igor, yes something is whacko in the head to learn it 
... And it's not all. Before the trip to CC, we agreed with 
Andrew Savicheva, I'll go to him. However, the festival's 
program was so saturated that it just was not much time! I can 
only apologize to Andrei, the more that before leaving on 
vacation I have not had time to do it ... 



            Home



   Complete the registration of participants and visitors, lay 
rustling around the table dosdachi works, and on stage next to 
Artie appeared Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the 
Festival "Chaos Constructions '999" Vsevolod Potapov (Random). 
He greeted the audience, but then literally a minute later 
suddenly strayed into English (see, affected by the years spent 
in an English speaking country! :)), And the rest of the 
oration on the move translated Artie. Must noted that Artie 
really good command of English - having been witness to his 
"real-time" translation, I no longer so aggressively began to 
refer to various letters of Artie in ehah where recklessly go 
citations in English ... ;-)) Yes, By the way, I still do not 
"presented" Artie - what if somebody does not know? ;-)) Artie 
- Artem Kharitonov, the leader of the creative team of "Digital 
Reality", released a number of popular programs and repeatedly 
happened winner of a festival of computer art. 


   After the oration, and Artie Random peacefully sat side by 
side on stage, projector and speakers began to perform their 
direct responsibilities. 


   Graphic work had to watch the "either-or" - or clearly
and large projector screen, but in black and white, either 
on-screen conventional monitor (TV) - the only one, but color. 
Eyes ran, literally, but the impression get all the same was 
possible, and vote intelligently - too.


   "Dream" FIL-A - a thing apart from the competition, it is 
deservedly and properly! 

   I quite liked the work "Lovekind" (Diver / 4 Dimension)
"HrumHrum" (Hero / Discovery), "Shadow" (Mr.John / Technology 
is), "$ Funtier" (Virtual / Scene). The latter, perhaps, could 
and more stars to collect ... 

   Just fared "Savanna" (Monarch), "Troll"
(Scalina / Constellation), "Frog" (Kristof / Constellation), 
"Death" (Twin / Global Corp.), "Lord of Chaos" (Flying Skull / 
Partyzans). 

   Author of "Hellroad" did not name himself, and this is 
probably correct. "Baranca" This, I may say, "work" - a 
well-deserved score. In my opinion, the splash screen to 
Nicron-in (city) and it is better ;-)), But this is exactly 
saver rather than a picture! I am sure that Little Petya 
Mikaelian his "Karp" on FunTop painted with much enthusiasm and 
creative efforts ... 

   In general, the overall quality of work is undoubtedly high. 
I do not know how much work to weed out the Organizing 
Committee for the preliminary selection, but it seems not at 
all, since poslefestivalnom book present all shown in CC'999. 


   Music Competition was repeated in its hackneyed form - the 
melody of the tune on the screen - the number drawn in by hand 
in a graphics editor (which, in my opinion, not a disadvantage 
- so what? The main number is visible. :). At Bytefall-e 
precisely so did ;-)). In dance they would not let anyone - 
probably because Mouzon was 22 and not 70-plus, and the dancers 
did not have time to ripen :). Again, the first place - 
"Together with me" (EA / Antares) - totally deserved! But at 
home I often lost in its enjoy another job - "Last" (DNK / Virt 
Group). On the other studies shall not express opinions, as my 
musical tastes, of course, has long been different from the 
youth, and charm of many modern I, a lover of Radio 'Retro' and

'Radio' Orfeo '", apparently, no longer able to understand and 
check out. Let me remind you as organized a music contest on 
"Bytefall" e: where the graphics and music showed 
intermittently twice, then schedule the music, the music under 
the graphics (I mean, chtnado was at that time to evaluate). 
Take frequent breaks during the which is shown on a competitive 
Deme, which then already repeated to assess during the next 
pause. As a result, "Bytefall" was quite tiring. Standing room 
"in mind organizers CC'000, in my purely personal opinion. Do 
not be afraid of "free" show competition works! Let it be in 
the pauses, let it be as a support of another competition - in 
resulting estimate becomes much easier, and get tired a lot 
less. 


   4K-intro competition was a real treat thanks to Serge
(Sergei Kolotova from the city Shadrinsk). His "C2H5OH" 
eclipsed all, it was a real masterpiece, in short, it should 
just watch and check out each of your own! Deafening and 
well-deserved success! 

(The interview was taken on the second day of the festival):


   WB: Our microphone - Serzh, the most "stunning" winner Chaos 
Constructions. 


   Serzh: Yes, well ... ;)


   WB: As far as I understand, the victory was expected?


   Serzh: Yes, I expected something to take. I set myself
task to do something that may appeal to people.


   WB: And it worked! What is your opinion about the state of 
Spectrum demostroeniya on the scene now? 


   Serzh: Condition pretty funny - whether demostroenie
is, whether it is not, but judging by the works which were seen 
yesterday, Real Masters has taken a huge step forward, that is 
They won first place deservedly so. And the state itself 
demoscene, of course ... After all, was submitted to only three 
demos, and it was expected, because this "multi-party system", 
indecision people when it is not known for a party to go when 
literally been given the condition of three, four, five, party, 
and people simply lost, wherever they go. Some have decided to 
support or another party, others refused to go directly to the 
CC, and so on ... It has played its role, and so little was 
presented dem. A scene - the scene alive, and the development 
of what is there, with perhaps not even in terms of coding, but 
in terms of it design, some original solutions. 


   WB: Yesterday, after the compo, I'm caught in a soaring hall 
of the idea that competition disappears in demostroenii on the 
Spectrum. How can you comment on that? 


   Serzh: That is how it disappears? I do not understand the 
question! 


   WB: How would the leaders of the stimulus disappears with 
someone to compete, because this does not raise the level of 
works created by ... 


   Serzh: Why? None. Just possibly, the leaders ... Suppose, DR
must constantly strain - they did DeMouy, they completed the 
Forever, and so on. And the creation of the JAM-as they had 
just two or three weeks before they are constantly working on 
other projects to finish them. And the rest sceners may some 
have simply disappeared from the Speccy, others are busy with 
other things - many of the session was, it too has played its 
role in that they did not come ... The scene is still alive and 
working. 


   WB: Next year, plans are already there?


   Serzh: No plans yet. Set before itself the task of
I have reached, further I see where I keep track of.


   WB: The Road to the Spectrum, or ...?


   Serzh: While the planned path for Spectrum.


   WB: It's nice to hear!
You work, as they say, "solo". This change is not expected?


   Serzh: No, not yet in sight. Although the Real Masters we 
have agreed to strike up some kind of cooperation in sharing

ideas, coding, design, any joint decisions. Perhaps it would 
be. And so - I'm still in the group of any kind do not enter 
and probably should not go. I used to work alone when it all 
depends only from me and do not have anyone to rely on.



   WB: Finally, I probably would express a general opinion, if 
to thank you for a small celebration in the form of your intro, 
that with such a resounding margin won! 


   Serzh: I am always happy to try specially for people, for 
the scene! 


   WB: Thank you!

work ... 



   Demo compo consisted of just three works, because of what 
the prize was guaranteed to every participant of this 
competition. :) 

   What to say in the personal assessment of dem? "Anamnesis" 
by "Real Masters" looks very nice, but still I would place the 
organizers not be awarded the first place at all. Suppose would 
be a second, third and fourth place ... No offense! It seemed 
to me, the level dropped dem. And the reason I can see first of 
all in "multi" in 1999. Antares-s, for example, now finish a 
latecomer to the CC "Devotion" and are preparing to submit it 
to CAFe'99. And this is only one known to me the fact, and 
certainly such episodes a dozen more will be typed. The autumn 
a global networking event in order to identify the best of the 
best demos? 

   512 bytes intro showed one or two effects, as
Typically, without a sound. Rate of work was not easy. So please
you, dear readers, independently review these works.

   Out of competition screenings have given us "CC999 gift" (I 
think, to translate the name is not necessary:)), demo games 
"Xeen" and "Babylon", a few demos for a computer with extended 
memory and Covox-ohm or Sound Drive-ohm. Estimates for these 
works are not exhibited, and I did not all of them to see - I 
have a regular "Pentagon-128K" without Covox-a, and on the PC, 
where there is an emulator there are no sound card. It is worth 
noting that Alexander Seleznev (Kvazar-y) is not allowed to 
show he brought to work (out of competition) Belarusian 
authors. 



                Kvazar



   At the party attended by Evgeny Buder, head of the firm
"Welcome". I recall that on FunTop98 Evgeny contributed to the 
prize fund of 1000 rubles completely free of charge. By the 
way, echoes FunTop-a: Andrew Juice / Konex / Antares brought to 
St. Petersburg several branded T-shirts with symbols of FT98, 
and they went immediately. After that, the hall could often 
meet anyone in "our" T-shirt, and even Vsevolod Potapov not 
withheld forty rubles for the pleasure. ;-)). (However, they 
say, which then burned the shirt - a tradition of Enlight-a, 
probably:)). 

   The festival came as a set of contests, and stories of 
authors about their programs or zhelezyachnyh "developments 
were not. Except was only the second day, when given the right 
to speak kakomuto shorn bald hazardous to a subject in which, 
according to the audience is very steep at pisyuke whether in 
music, then Does anyone else for anything. I have not listened 
to this story, because my PC not care, despite the fact that I 
have a PC-machine. 



                E. Yu Buder



   During one break, when I went to the "one place" on
my eyes, a tremendous gust of wind threw the window frame in 
the hallway. Heard a blow and the sound of glass byuschegosya 
... They say it was only beaten five glasses. Including this. 
So that all wine reviews is smaller than it seems at first 
glance. Incidentally, in the hall, as well at the next gust of 
wind, I was just tumbled out transom with glass, and I had 
myself to crawl under the ceiling and attach it back. Hero, 
postradavashy on FunTop-e from falling on it curtains with 
curtain may feel avenged ;-))). 

   Toward the evening, despite the rather loud noise in the 
hall, I managed to speak to Zoolook-ohm and another man from 
the group "Phantasy":



   WB: Misch, we are pleased to see you here!


   Zoolook: Mutually. :)


   WB: Tell us please, how are Phantasy and the Spectrum of
you?


   Zoolook: Do "we" - is exactly where? Here the problem that 
the PHT internationalized ...



   WB: Yes, then we say: How's Phantasy?


   Zoolook: The question is difficult, because the organizers 
have Raver, He knows most, but I will try to explain something 
... First, Phantasy there! Due to the fact that the group

international, member'ov we have many, and their number
increases. That is, to the reflection is still far! A link is
through the Internet. Really old member'y until leaving
with the Spectrum, but the activity is not observed.


   WB: And besides the Spectrum?


   Zoolook: We have long been a section of the Amiga and PC.


   WB: You now perform at the contest?


   Zoolook: Here today, we will not stand ...


   WB: Everything is nice to see you, even as a guest.


   Zoolook: Should have come almost all the old structure
Phantasy, from Latvia, almost all - Depredator, Raver ... But 
the problems with visas, money ... 


   WB: Well, if you have not arrived, then simply pass the 
greetings from Moscow, and from Alexey Ivanov, who was unable 
to attend. 


   WB: If the next year will be something in Moscow or
Peter go? Or Moscow still too heavy? :)


   Zoolook: In principle, not difficult. You can go. It is 
difficult to think, especially now, to party, when such a mood, 
and leave - now. Tomorrow is already on the job should be, 
everyday life, routine ... Well, of course, here at the party, 
and comes back - the usual problems, life. And somehow not up 
to it ... 


   WB: Thank you!


   Zoolook: Please ... (A little sad).

   Toward the evening of the first day it became clear that 
Spectrum Part CC'999 was wholly and mainly successful.


   Part of Muscovites invited to count the first day will end 
and go for a walk around the city, for example, go to Ozerki 
but I insisted on going to wait for the results of 
competitions, that were promised to the 20 o'clock ... 21. The 
fact that we were not nothing, you already know! :)



  In the evening the second day of Frunze interviewed

  winners, and though it was really

  on the second day, perhaps, will not prevent a cross between
  tit interview here.


  EA: I EA of "Antares", in Moscow. I put

      two Mouzon, the first - in the Spectrum

      Music Compo - now occupied the first place.

      The work is called ... I do not even remember how

      Work called! :) ...

      "Together with me"!

      I also put on a PC, the "alternative",

      32-channel Mouzon, which is called

      "Dance On the Blade", which took

      third place! And it is very strange
               so as to "pisyuke" I write music just for three 
months only. What else to say? - "No day without Speccy! ", Is 
the motto of our group. If in 2000 there will be something 
happen, then I'll come and do something else bring anything do. 
So all I have now train leaves! So, the people "Game over"! :)




    Dance on the Blade - 3 rd place.



   FIL: I - FIL of "Antares". Won first place

        in the ZX Graphics Compo. In the future I hope

        happy computer users' Spect
        room "for his work and support their

        first class seat on the other party,

        to continue this glorious tradition.



FIL-work and "Dream" was published in the 110-meter room 
Nicron-a. 


        Quite the middle ... ;-)



   So, on the evening of the first day, joyful and resounding 
success Muscovites, led by Timothy Lapo and Alexei 
Voskresensky, left the party, to return the next day. 

   About the site overnight, we had agreed with Timothy, so
witness lazany organizers through school windows
smashing glass, police arrived and so colorfully described in 
other publications and ehah, we have not had a chance:). 

   We amicably climbed into the bus that took us to a very
far away ... We drove for about forty minutes, and then another 
couple of stops to overcome the other bus. - We are eight 
people from Moscow, plus children from Belarus - Quasar, Fly 
and a group of Ascendancy. 

   As long as the bus drove around endlessly in the evening to 
Peter, when have gradually dried up stock emotions impressions 
given about yourself know a certain sense of hunger ... In the 
corner house of the quarter, which Tim calls "our" (I mean, 
come all, we home!), it was a cafe, and the crowd burst into a 
spektrumistov cafe in a basement filled with multi-colored 
semi-darkness and the music ... Chipped in, but who could have 
studied the menu and ordered something. Us, "gladdened" that 
will be ready in half an hour, after which the three of us have 
enriched this institution every ruble a toilet, causing a cafe 
worker remark like "this guys are not serious!" And the rest 
have got to the surface. LAS took us to another point of 
catering, and under the guise of "Shaverma" we are finally 
truly supper. It was past midnight, but summer solstice did not 
leave empty streets. White Nights! 

   Ascendancy seems to be stopped at the LAS-a (can not say 
exactly), and we went to Timothy Lapo. 

   Modern nine-, four-room apartment, completely
together all the horde:).

   GPV was somewhat taken aback by some of cockroaches:)
and I, in spite of everything, quietly took his soap and towel 
and climbed into the shower. Oh, it was a pleasure after a 
night on the train and the whole day on their feet "at the 
festival! But no one even noticed that I went into the bathroom 
and was cleaner:), but when I shared my little happy:), looked 
at me strangely and did not follow my example. Well, the 
cockroaches are running a little bit ... So what? The main 
thing is that we have in St. Petersburg friend, always ready 
give you a roof over your head! 

   FIL immediately lay down to sleep, and Antares-s and quasars 
began to Fly "hidden part". I had decided to go to sleep too, 
brazenly good:) possessed a single bed (many others had to 
hustle on a couch, chairs spread out), but first decided to 
attend some of the big room, from which came the sound of 
gurgling beer:) and polyphonic friends. For some reason I 
turned on the recorder ... Indeed, why? ;-) That's the camera I 
forgot to take the right ... :) 

   Okay, here's what happened. Just do not refer to the whole 
of this nonsense:) too seriously ... :)




    "Hidden part" in the night after the first day CC'999.



   WB: Tell me, Andrew, and what you dream at the moment?

   Konex: About the girl of his own.

   Fly: We dream about beer. To us it was brought, holodnenkoe!

   EA: I want to sleep.

   Konex: EA wants to sleep, but it did not shine. Here we still
Phil was lying at the feet somewhere.

   Fly: stuttering. ;-)

   WB: Andrew, tell me ...

   Konex: I'll say!

   WB: Do you feel ...

   Konex: Feel!

   WB: ... the pride of belonging to Antares?

   Konex: No $% # itself knocked down - from accessories "! 
Yes, I organized this group, vaasche, founded! 

   WB: I mean at the moment.

   Konex: No ... not clear, not the word "feel", I like it.
.. It is like ...

   EA: It's a long time ...

   Konex: I regard myself as the organizer of the group, and it 
is my some responsibility for all successes and failures of the 
group as a whole. 

   WB: Thank you, very serious answer. Did you know that behind
you is the beer? ..

   Konex: It's not beer, it's piss ...

   Fly: If you tried this beer ...

   Quasar: Vitebsk beer is even worse ...

   Fly: It's not Vitebsk, it Schadow pinned ...

   Quasar: Where is Nick?

   Konex: Where is the beer?

   EA: What is Kohl?

   Quasar: Savage.

   EA: You interviewed me going to take?

   Konex: Come on, I want to give interviews!

   EA: I want to sleep.

   Quasar: What are your impressions of today?

   EA: I do not remember! ...

   Konex: And I remember well. I drank fifteen bottles of beer 
... 

   EA: That's, I remember, with the Flying-th of Scenergy 
talking. 

   Konex: And we had - about demah. In the toilet. On the way 
out of the closet. 

   WB: Good Enlight-ovsky tradition - to discuss in the toilet.

   Konex: While ssysh.

   WB: Thanks for the mention of a set of specific, known
Once you have details.

   All: (:-))))))))))) !!!!!!!!

   EA: The journalists, they are generally ... ;-))

   WB: But my question is ... to Dima Question to you 
personally: How do you feel at the moment, lying surrounded by
