Glory to the Copperlegs.
Slava is simply a genius, but this is not flattery on my part, but
approval. I'll try to explain why I consider him a genius.
Firstly, Slava is the first and last person on the Spectrum
who combined unimaginable playability in his programs,
quality and... almost all of this was done by one person!
I would not have thought about his work if I had not encountered it myself

could have done better than Mednonogov - and his procedures

It’s very difficult, which is why many projects failed. When
you do such global things with just mathematics and abstract
thinking is not enough, you also need to have what I call -
multitasking thinking - this is when your entire program
stays in your head, and you yourself begin to think like her.
At first, like everyone else, I just played his games and admiredthem, but after I worked with such a volume of data myself, I
I realized that it’s simply impossible for one person to do everything, but he

an apprentice before a true master. Now that I understand
the entire internal structure of his work, I am horrified. Someone will say:
so he did it for money, and anyone can do it for money. Yes, that's it
no one can do it, I KNOW this for DEFINITELY, even for a lot of money
ANYONE CAN'T, sometimes even an advanced coder CAN'T! That's all
because not particularly experienced, but particularly smart coders who
know what higher mathematics is but don’t really know what

I've seen many times how smart coders put off their
procedures, use all sorts of STSs and other debuggers
(personally, I have never used them) they spend a lot of money
time for one procedure, and Slava did everything very quickly.
Remember, smart coder, if you haven’t written a global one yourself,

GLORY TO THE COPPERFOOT GENIUS, REMEMBER MY WORD.
We take the reference book and see who the genius is

was considered impossible. INtheories maybe someone could have planned
something similar to Mednonogov's games, but in practice he was
the first person to make a real, high-quality RTS on

someone told Slava, “Come on, it’s not realistic to do it.”

not real, but he did it!
As I said below, many people told me that they were able

And many of these same "smart idiots" in different newspapers
