Software News
Over the summer, appeared very nehily number of different
sistemok - for him We plan to "ride" in the next issue. :) And
today we have basically intelligent conversation with the
authors of software ... ;-)
ZX-GAMES
■ A new puzzle game Xixit (C)
1999 Real Software (Brest). This complication is Tetris with a
rather interesting twist: In this game you can play together,
arranging each other dirty tricks, ie underlay the enemy extra
levels of cells. You can do it if we could deal with certain
combinations - details the author's description (click "H"
Startup). By design Xixit made in the best traditions of
Kolobok Zoom 2 and if possible settings surpassed, perhaps,
even Headball. Very playable program - a real gift for all
lovers of logic.
■ In an interview with Andrei Litvinov / LAV
(See the ZX-News # 44) from Softland (St. Petersburg) was
mentioned about the "Winnie the Pooh 2" that the game is almost
ready, the output slowed due to bugs in the motion of Winnie
the Pooh. For unknown reasons, while the authors have decided
instead to release a game ... its source. Ie procedures in
assembly language, graphics and the music was placed in a
zip-file and call it DIY. ;-) These materials were distributed
by Fido and ZXNet, with the author resolution to create a wish
continued legendary game. Some encoders have promised to
release the same "Winnie the Pooh 2", so that there is some
chance that this game yet see the light.
■ Information about the output Technodrom 2, napechanaya in
the last issue, was not confirmed - As told by its own author,
Paul Kislyak / Pawel from Real Software (Brest). Give him the
floor:
"In our time of crisis does not make sense
conduct any commercial projects. Our group continues to work on
the Speccy, but for all that we do not expect to receive any
compensation.
If I reach your hands, then release a Technodrom +, which
will try to accommodate all shortcomings of the first version
will be improved computer intelligence, graphic design.
Although it is now difficult for some Technodrom pass on the 4
th level of complexity, but this strategy is not a problem.
Despite repeatedly exceeding enemy forces, the computer can
not, for example seamlessly operate multiple units, is
incapable of such baseness as activation of a cyborg hand
grenades, the transfer into the hands of another (but catch
objects they know) and its fast delivery under the hooves of
the enemy. In the 5 th issue of Brest Echo online newspaper
published an article "Technodrom 2", which provides and
History 1 Technodrom'a, is all that
Regarding plans for the second part. "
So, in future, possible output usovershenstvennoy version of
the first Technodrom'a.
■ Until we have heard rumors that the author Homer'a
Simpson'a proceeded to the second part of the game. Moreover,
some argued that project turned down, and others - that every
day it becomes stronger and steeper. To
to resolve this issue, we turned to
Renata Mammadov / Mr. Gluk, the author of this arcade-Quest:
"Myth. F) I do it without one. I just
leading a project run, so to speak ... A
about the project especially rassusolivat nothing
just at the moment the situation is repeated with Homer-1 - I
can not absolutely ensure that the project will be fully
Over ... Although to some reassuring, I can tell you that it is
ready for today.
The game itself - the percentage of 80-90% (if not
assume graphics - while not all). Game Over
- No at all. Final Cut - still just an idea
and data, but no code. Menu - 90% - on the contrary, the code
is there, but no data are available ... Sound design - the most
sensitive issue. Its now not at all. But I think it will ...
However, in contrast to Homer-1, most likely the game will
support more and ATM, plus to all this the owners of 128-x is
not breaking off - plan to use the upper memory only
keshirovavaniya disk ... Just vlodeltsy 128-x will be awarded a
permanent crawl on the disk ...
What about the script - nothing special. :)
Bottom line: Homer sent to Russia as a
security specialist for start-up in the village Glyukovo (I
have delusions of grandeur:)) nuclear power plant ...
Now the extension. This is an interesting
question ... During my stay in St. Petersburg Slava Mednonogov
extensively reasoned on the topic: "That's the first one was
free, and second is for the money ... .:) But while I level my
life is not so annoying, so I tried to get money for a hobby
... I think we'll have a better life - like likes to say our
president. :)
And finally, on the other project participants. Vlad - the
second coder, Vitaly Svetashev - almost all musical setting of
Homer-1 - his handiwork. Nikolaus Mezentsev - draws Great
graphics. Alex Peel - Official:) beta-tester. "
Well, Homer Simpson 2 really
is in the process of development - we hope in the future
COLLECTION spektrumistov be added another remarkable game.
ZX-SYSTEMS
■ The newly released Real Commander 1.8 (C)
1999 Real Software (Brest), with new twists. Some of them tells
its author, already familiar to you Paul Kislyak /
Pawel:
"The new version has support for RAM-resident Disk'a, copying
files, as in order catalog and in the order of labeling,
support for all four frequency tables ProTracker 3.4 +, a
complete frequency analyzer, CMOS-clock viewing / prslushivanie
files by pressing Enter, Up files on one drive without checking
the host drive and other functions. "
By the way, regarding the issue raised by us
the strangeness when copying files from one RAM-Disk'a to
another, Pawel said the following:
"The RC still working through all the # 3D13
(Except avtodetektsii and format of coz) so
that you have a RAM-Disk, probably will not work because of
errors in the TR-DOS. Perhaps the buffer is used printer - in
the RC as it once used to verify that the disc,
therefore, the message "Not the
Disc. "may also be that the TR-DOS in the functions of 1, 5, 6,
alter anything in the system RAM-Disk'a sector, on which there
is a reconciliation drive."
ZX-PRESS
■ According to the printed edition (!)
Journal Spectator, the material is put into
seal and it should soon be published.
If all goes well, then spektrumisty

performed on the modern polygraph level. We hope that the
content He also will not concede the legendary
ZX-Revue.

to name the best representatives of the "first
Generation Spectrum Press, "which

abandoned, finally, Scenergy # 1 (C) 1999

shell the new bells and whistles publication to the maximum,
but is primarily It should be noted excellent materials
such that spektrumisty not seen since
