     Surely, each of you has tried

   its effects?

     You are the coolest demomaker in the world,
completely screwed on demo-making.
Moreover, you do everything yourself, starting from the codes
and ending with music and graphics. From your dems
the whole people are dragging along. They contain the most unprecedented
and exciting effects, moreover, they are clever
are eager to work on all types of SPECCY.  You
always a welcome guestto demoparty,  where
your demos, music and graphics occupy
prizes, etc. etc. In general,
complete COOL and RULEZZZ !!!
  Or maybe you just screwed up somewhere
in scoring?

     50-69

    You're a pretty cool demo maker.  Co-
Of course, you are not a jack of all trades (people,
who write music equally well,

draw graphics and code effects very
little), but in your field, you are certainly
master.  You get some pretty good effects.
and you devote the lion's share to demo-making
of your free time.  In your dems
how often you can see what is before
no one made you. Keep it up !

        30-49

    By the way, you are still a beginner demo-
ker, but if you don’t give up this hobby,
worthy task - a universal prize awaits you -
knowledge.  Learn from the masters of this business and that’s it
will come to you.

            10-29

     Either you are a complete lame or very
big lazy person suffering from megalomania
chiya.  Stop tampering with other people's effects and
spend more time raising your
professionallevel otherwise you
glory certainly awaitsTHD.

  I wonder why you started answering
to the questions in this test?  I think you
It’s better to learn not assembler, but a little
practice BASIC.  He is somewhat
easier to understand.

        =>-100

     Or you are not interested in demo-making
at the root or one of the two.

     Well, how is your rating?   Hope
I think that's not bad.
     Recently I was digging through my old
disks, simultaneously blowing off dust from them, and
found on one of them several curious
torture screens.  As far as I remember,
I downloaded them D.J. DENS back in 1994
and they were lying around unattended, so
as if there was nowhere to insert them.
They were taken from  "Russian folk drawings"
nushka", which scanned SERG.
     Although one day one of the screens
SURGEONOM we used in the same demo
ke, but it is not widespread
receivedso you will see all the screens.
To begin with, a couple or three. 

     Isn't it carbon monoxide? Let's fix the fuss
a portion of jokes.
