                    CC'000; why did he do?


    After 5 years from the beginning of the active 
demoparty-motion on FSU probably already there is not

One concerned a man who would not have
own opinion on the question: "Why spend demoparty?"


    I can not say what was behind the movement to demoparty
Speccy. Yes, living in Samara, it was hard not to know about 
the conduct of Enlight'95, group QMG and much more. Through 
active swapper'skuyu politics, a year later, in the 96th, I 
have closely followed the passage of E'96, bringing this issue 
even network Internet, which was then just a miracle, not 
something that now. A year later, I was personally present at 
Enlight'97 (Party, which is still considered the best) and saw 
all their eyes. Then there were Funtop'98 and CC'000; events to 
which I managed to make not only the arm, but his leg:)



    My idea of the demoparty was constantly in
development. Moreover, the further I learned the scene, the more
and more clear became for me an ideal in demoparty-motion.
Yes, on the one hand, such friendly hangouts like E'95, can not
do not buy their flavor and atmosphere (check out
Photo coverage of Peter Sobolev www.enlight.ru and you are
understand). E'97 hit the scale and number of participants. This
was and is on my ideas samo demoparty, as it is.


    The modest material, which reached about foreign
mainstream demoparty, generally turned the mind (anyone seen
photos ASM'a, again I understand). FUNTOP'98, and a number of
local party at the bygone 1999th once again changed my
representation. And finally, CHAOS CONSTRUCTIONS ....


    Knowing full well that not everything in this world 
demostsenery in this article I want accessible and 
comprehensible language to tell us why need demoparty, why it 
is CC'000 and how to do so, that it took place at the highest 
level. 


    In our world, peace Spectrum, there are not many
holy, pure, eternal. One of the tenets of our faith as
known, is the slogan - SPECCY IS IMMORTAL! Have
anyone of you about the meaning of these words?? And why SPECCY
earned the honor of being immortal? Why not Vasya Pupkin or Bill
Gilbert? Why are not people but of machines, computer
in a simple box ??????


    The answer is much simpler than the question. SPECCY - it 
is simply a set of chip, which allows anyone to turn their 
ideas into practice, clothe dream material shell, create the 
digital the reality of thoughts and feelings, an illusory 
world, which is not less real than the internal world of each 
one of us. But if the inner world we can give (and then not 
directly) to only one, beloved man, its implementation in the 
form of programs, music, graphics, available for understanding 
everything. 


    So, my friend, one thing having done his work,
show it to friends or acquaintances, and quite another thing -
put on demoparty. Business, primarily in the audience.
How many people you can collect at home? 10? 20?
Perhaps ... But how many of them will understand what you tell 
them demonstriruesh?



    At the party, even the most run-down, going from 50 people
more. And among the participants there are quite a large 
percentage of people who understand something and razbirayutya 
in demoscene. There are also a number of representatives ELITE

or mainstream'a, both recognized and those who
the elite for yourself. And now imagine all these people
see your work at the same time. Not only see but also be 
appreciated! And most importantly, react to their cries and 
actions in during the show. And suppose you yourself do not see 
.... if not able to attend the party personally. Write about it 
in report a variety of newspapers, and most importantly, you 
have to deliver pleasure to people gathered at the party place.



    You have enough of this? Then do a job that will make
all lay in the pants by surprise. Make a demo, write
music or draw a picture that will be remembered throughout the 
Speccy scene and not only will but also to press already 
recognized geniuses. Or are you not capable of this? So you not 
only simple normal user (almost Lammer and accurately so 
uzver), but also people unable to reveal his inner world to 
others. Man, do not willing to do it ... Or maybe, being a non-

thereby the inner world?? :((((


    Perhaps you question bedevils the prizes? How much money 
will in the first place? Will the general and there will be 
enough for a beer?? Hmmm ... Listen here! Only your prize - a 
chance to win. How to win others, and himself, his own laziness 
in particular. Opportunity to realize their ideas in the form 
of pixels, code or notes and to demonstrate this broader 
audience. Here your prizes. Earn free money in other places, 
not on demoparty! 


    Why do you have to time their work to Chaos
Constructions'000??? Yes, because it is the only
avowed, mainstream'ovoe, multiplatform party in
Russia. And partyplace (St. Petersburg) is located so that
it is convenient not only to Russians, many residents of the 
Baltic states, Belarus, Ukraine and Eastern Europe. This in turn

turn, attracts CC'000 FOREIGN participants, but as
consequence - the new work and new forces. It is here that you 
can not just to show their work, but be sure that you

participate in a truly historic event -
doest stsenovuyu life with his own hands.


    Visiting party personally, you can not only witness the show
their work (and this is the strongest impression in my life, if
discard the effects on the body of certain chemicals),
but also to communicate with others and spektrumistami sceners,
representing other platforms. Only here there is peace and
agreement and the sworn enemies such as Arty and Ash'a can, 
while from each other by 10 meters, not boiling with hatred. 
Here, one large 48-hour celebration, which makes and consumes

you personally!


    CC'000 - this is the only place where you can easily
acquainted with the demoscene in the other home PCs -
BK0011M, Commodore 64, Amiga, and exotic things such as
PSX or GAMEBOY COLOR. And if you are not interested in anything 
except Speccy, always remember how to copy a fresh issue BORN

DEAD'a near the UnBEL! EVER'a or shook hands with a living 
Paracels'u. Hundreds of entertainment for all tastes. Even fans 
of alcohol Pure company will find themselves liking.



    Most importantly - do not argue about who is coming. Come
itself, bringing with them friends and then the party will 
present holiday. If you come you come here and those you would 
like to see. And much of 200-300 people you're sure to find

someone on acquaintance with whom dreamed my entire adult life. 
AND no need to argue about who and what works put up for party.

Make your demo, intro, pix, track, and put it first. You do not
will be unique, because Chaos Construction - a
major international party. And works in all categories
will be enough - unless, of course, though you yourself do 
something :)



    But for lovers of statistics, I would venture to bring your 
list commands, which by my calculations, will be exhibiting at 
the CC'000 in the demo / intro compo at Speccy:




                         3SC HARDCORE

                          Accept Corp.

                        Digital Reality

                       Eternity Industry

                     Extreme Entertainment

                            Razzlers

                            Syndrome

                             LFG +4 D

                              CIC

not be ruled out that going to wake up from sleep, such as 
monsters: 

Real Masters, Serzh 'Co., Volga Soft, Partizans, Brainwave,
Phantasy, X-Trade, Fenomen, Mayhem, Eye-Q, Sage, CPU, Scene,
Constellations, Triumph, Excess, ZeroTeam.


    I have listed all known active team, which, in
my calculations are capable of the creation of decent work for
demo / intro compo. And if the team from the first list
almost 100% involved, then those in the second part I
intention to transfer to initiate and direct the creative
channel. Perhaps there are some hidden genius of the machine 
code which I forgot to mention .... It is only for the better! 
This proves that the scene is still alive, and I'm old, 
good-for-nothing old fart ... 


    Someone, of course, will choose for themselves Cafe'2000 
and his unreleased work there, nedoterpev 20 days until the 
main event of the year. Yes, of course, easier and more 
spectacular to win (or take a triumphant third place of 3 
possible:) on the local party with no claim to steepness than 
to expose their work on equal terms with monsters (The last 
surviving) modern demomacking'a. But Think sober - what's the 
point put to work where the party percentage spektrumistov 
commensurate with the hair on his bald head Clive Sinclair??



    And although CC'000, unfortunately, is not pure 8-bit 
party, after all, there is a whole day free of PC'shnyh Lammer 
and dedicated very old, kind, a real home computers, and

First of all - Speccy.


    God has saved us this year from DI: HALT'a and the like.
Date itself CC'000 rose to its rightful place. It only remains
accumulate a sufficient amount of money (1000-1500 rubles for
trip from Samara), do a decent job and go to
meet the real spektrumistov. That's just to name a decent
work??


    Look at the previous CC'999, and especially on
gfx / music compo. A huge amount is not that weak, but
do no work! People put up the graphics and music,
found on the disks to strip at the far desk drawer.
Rotten conversion, scanned "masterpieces", and cheap smears.
Decent work is enough to make up the top 10, but they
lost in the debris, and it becomes very difficult to vote and
choose - especially in the music compo. Therefore, if you 
decide to put the work in the party in general and CC'000 in 
particular, please be guided by the following rules:


1) Do not exhibited old job, which is just lying around you
on disks. Nobody prikoletsya from this dusty stuff ...

2) Your work should be really cool and new, on
At least for you personally. If you feel that this
audiences on a picture or you surpassed himself - always 
exhibited such work on the compo!


3) Do not sit for 2-3 operation from a single author, giving 
them for the creation of different people. Such an approach can 
only help to rotten local hangouts. CC'000 a global level. It

Therefore, in the only work that you put on the compo,
should focus maxIMum novelty and steepness. Then you do not
need to put 2 or 3 pictures / ringtones.

4) Do not hesitate and do not think about your competitors! 
Will participate in compo last year's winner or not - who 
cares? After if you had an idea to participate in the party, it 
means that you hoping for victory? You and win, not looking at

competitors - just made a really spiritual thing, rulez
embodied in the 0 and 1.


    Finally, you can do nothing, but simply to come
on the party, to enjoy the work of others. Come to
solve the very outcome of the vote. Just to be aware of how it 
all is in fact - to know myself, on my own experience and

no reports of dry rotten pseudo-scenery in the decaying
"Stoned" editions. The main thing is not to be _ameboy_ - 
single-celled being without desires and emotions! Be a man, 
learn to relax, enjoy communication and to give joy to others.



    By the way, if you're still doing something cool, but it is 
not fits into the framework democompo - still brought their 
work to party! Firstly there is such a nomination as WILD where 
you can demonstrate everything from video-disk'a and ending

2bytes intro. And secondly on the party is always free
time when you can break through to the computer and taking 
possession of them at a few minutes to demonstrate anything 
sitting in the hall on the big screen. For example, on CC'999 
in my memory was read some passages from BORN DEAD'a and I 
think OPTRON'a:))) 


    Did you previously never visited demoparty, and you
certainly concerned about a number of technical issues. ("And 
what we we eat? (C) Monster ^ Sage) Yes, go to one of the few

hundreds and even thousands of miles from home - it's not so 
easy and innocuous as it may seem. But do not think you

one.


    All nonresident members CC'000 will experience similar
problems, and some of them is not the first time on the party 
and they necessarily help you. What could be more fun than

spend the night in the heart of Peter sitting on a bench in the 
500 meters Quarantine Cross of Digital Reality, EI, Serzh 
Soft'a, UnBELIEVER'a and a heap of famous people?? Did you 
think such cool guys sleeping in warm rooms and five star 
hotels? Not always' to ...', but more often on the lawn in 
front of these hotels! :)



    Understand, at the party everyone is equal and you can 
easily integrate into this magnificent world. However, only at 
such major events as Chaos Construction, you can fully enjoy 
the essence of demoparty and scene in general! 19th August you 
have to be St. Petersburg, or to die - no middle ground:)



    After reading the last paragraph, you will surely ask, "Hey,
UnBEL! EVER, and who are you to so all in colors to describe and
decide which party MainStream, and what loKAL ???". And I will
answer as to why I have the right to decide ...

                                      ... Coz i'am a choosen 
one! 


    P.S. By the way, if "fair", the problem of accommodation -
this is quite a serious problem. God forbid that the Random
agreed on the possibility of spending the night at the school - 
it will simply cool, even if I have to pay separately. But in 
general, in his while Peter Sobolev Enlight'97 to circulate the 
list of cheap SPB'shnyh hotels with prices, addresses, phones. 
A similar information is present now in Internet'e, in 
particular www.travel.ru Hopefully in the near future, the 
organizers will be engaged in the issue of residence and a list 
of places where you can spend the night in horizontal position, 
will be distributed along with the new version of the rules.



    P.P.S. According to the most recent data, the main 
organizer CC'000 - Random ^ CC - arrives in Russia for a month 
before the party. This fact, I hope, speaks for itself!


-------------------------------------------------- -------------

                  CC'000: + one more reason to come!


    And last but not least:) Why is it necessary to come to 
CC'000 personally? Yes, because it is there will be made a 
sensational and long- expected, the secret release of EXTREME. 
It is on the party, UnBEL! EVER (well that is me:) will show 
and rasckazhet and copy to anyone who wishes ... Guess what?



    Hmm ... Even as something not serious and that's because 
you disclose your card. Well, guess yourself: what game 
attracted the most attention throughout the life of ZX

Spectrum? What do you call something for what each of you spent
many hours, learning the wisdom of this, indeed, a masterpiece
gaming industry? With what program is associated maximum
number of puzzles and mysteries, uncertainties and ambiguities, 
and myths legends ?????



    Well if you were born yesterday does not, of course,
understand that this is not Black Raven and DIZZY. You may even
may not know who they were Ian Bell and Dave Braben, but
name of the game which created two of these rights, even know
child. Of course - this is the famous ELITE.


    So, what do you say to such a statement. In Russia there are
The original cassette version of the ELITE, and not the usual 
(though that understood by the ordinary?) and ELITE 48K GOLDEN 
EDITION - limited edition the most complete version of the 
game, just a couple of hundred copies exist in the world! Is a 
real magazine, in original box with books and real so 
LENSLOCK'om. And now This original ELITE believed hacked 
diskofitsirovana, yes so that 100% represents exactly what was 
in the original on the tape. Do not change a single byte in the 
code of the game! (Well, of course 14 bytes changed, but all 
these changes are under control and definitely not affect the 
logic of the game). 


    Just imagine - no BILL GILBERT'ov, JOYSTICK
CLUB'ov or Nikolai Rodionov. Pure 100% game. This version,
about which one could only dream of! And there is this EXTREME'a
ELITE!!!


    We know all the secrets to the last game! All byte by byte.
Where did the 49th galaxy, where the flying boats of 
generations, made whether Kladov improvements in their 
versions, or simply found original ELITE, and much more. And 
most importantly, we know the truth about RAXXLA! Whatever your 
question has already answered. Can you imagine?



    So, the first day CC'000 we promise to arrange a real
ELITE SHOW, which will be presented as a very unique
disk version of the game, and tangible evidence -
original tape, box, manual and so
on. It may be even epochal download original games
recorder in the same firm Spectrum! And most importantly UnBEL! 
EVER answer all your questions related to the game itself and 
copies unique disk version of anyone.



                       See you at the party!
