The idea of holding the championship was born viruses
we have a very long time, but for various reasons,
we decided to implement it until now.
Let us hope that in this virtual
Olympic Games will bring together not only
St. Petersburg spektrumisty.
Of course, we could simply say: "Please send
We viruses, we give them a "dismantling" and
tell you who won ... "But we decided to
go somewhat unconventional way. :)
Now, by sending us your fighter, you do not
simply enter a contest, but doing
attempt to save our world! Intrigued? ;)
Read the introductory novella, and all
understand! :)))
-= VIRUS II: Initiation into virusovody =
Prologue.
Egypt, 562 BC
In the Temple of Ra:
- Ravesamon, have you seen this? - Turned
High Priest Haaveron to his disciple.
- Yes, my teacher, I saw this divine phenomenon of the great
Ra!
- Oshibaeshsya, Ravesamon. This veliiny,
our guests with the Morning Star. Just
led them here ... - Muttered pensively
High Priest. He knew that without veliiny
urgent need not attend the Earth.
Especially because they were in the Maya empire
only a few months ago ...
Meanwhile, the aliens came out of the spacecraft and quickly
headed for the people who, in anticipation of guests already
stood on the holy steps of the temple of Ra.
And here Ravesamon felt a
anxiety, and looking intently at the guests,
He noticed a strange stiffness in the movements of aliens.
Already on guard, the young Priest to quickly scan the
newcomers with a third eye and he immediately opened the true
face of one of the newcomers.
- Oh great Ra! .. - Exclaimed in horror
he, - Master, it's Ta ...
- But the words choked in the red rays of the guests who opened
fire on people ...
Cherez few hours at the temple site were nothing but smoking
ruins.
Russia, 1995 AD
Ivanovo
Sergei stood on a rock and immediately saw a UFO, from which
came out the mysterious evil creatures. To better address
newcomers, he tried to get closer, but suddenly flew down a
little stone, which he had accidentally pushed. Newcomers
immediately alerted and began to comb the area some device like
a normal flashlight, but probably with search beam. Holding my
breath, frightened climber froze. After some time, when a limb
is numb from immobility, Sergei cautiously looked out from
behind shelters - to witness the brilliant feet
enormous insect ...
Sharp-eyed, Sergei was relieved to realize that they are in
bed and it is was just a nightmare. Shaking his head, he said,
still wondering about the strange dream, he went to his
Spectrum, where he worked on complex algorithms, but
have not yet found the right solutions.
Turning on the computer, he is in the tradition,
dropped to the floor a bunch of floppies lying on the edge
table. Irritably bending, Sergey
Suddenly I saw that same awful huge insect leg of a nightmare.
Dicko bulging eyes, he slowly turned his
look up higher and higher ... and the only thing that has had
time to celebrate his consciousness, were huge compound eyes,
which Hypnosis had a monstrous ...
A few months later, Sergei Kukovyakin created a program
VIRUS, and later, and VIRUS II - the perfect version of the
first nedemetirovannoy playing Speccy.
Russia, 1998 AD
St. Petersburg.
Group eskursantov held in Egypt
Department of the Hermitage, and stopped in front of the mummy.
The plaque was written that it mummy of a priest of the temple
of Ra. Eskursovod began to talk about the mysterious
izcheznovenii huge temple of Ra in ancient Egypt, after which,
according to legend the Egyptians, they were doomed to a
similar fate.
- Well, - has summed up the narrator -
As you know, Egypt 600 years does not exist anymore. So,
in some way, they were right. Do anyone questions?
- Yes, well, - said the tall, thin man in a raincoat - this
mummy - from the the temple?
- No, it was already the remnants of the followers of the
god Ra. But at the same tradition, they kept some information
about the ancient Live game ... - Eskursovod stopped, so
I noticed that a thin person became like
half a meter above .. Immediately darkened windows and
all existents in the hall saw the strange
creatures with enormous eyes, which slowly drifted through the
air ...
After half an hour came one of the
posetitey, who saw the fiery letters,
flashing in the air:
I write this, Haaveron, high priest of the temple
Ra. I must convey to people the important
message that will be presented in the form of fantasy. Thus, in
the 16,734 year in our calculation, the Earth came first Targon
in future, the worst enemies of man. They came for the formula
of mathematical life, which owned only we, the students Ra ...
Well, you already know how it will end and what happened next
- according to this, I immediately turn to the point.
They can arrogate to themselves this formula,
If people will not use them.
If Targon usurp the law of mathematical life, man can not
emerge victorious from the Great War with the Targon ...
To avoid this, we are
"Virusnayu Olympics" - under that name
will take place this battle in the Last Days
1998 ...
So, you are invited to participate in
this competition, that villains are not Targon
able to arrogate to itself the formula. Becoming
participant "Virus Games" you are, the
thus, help to future wars and besides
of pobedivshy receive the honorary title
"King Virusovodov! :)
If you are familiar with the program "VIRUS-2
can begin to design their
virtual fighter and send it to
editors, and if it's all for you
novelty, but you also want to take part
in the championship, first read the following description:
Guide virusovoda.
Strictly speaking, to describe completely
nothing, since the author posted a detailed
HELP in the game. We only have to put the arrow on the monitor,
which is drawn picture and you will see a guide to the very
formula of mathematical life. ;) Office of the arrow-cursor -
Simultaneously SINCLAIR KEMPSTON and joysticks, as well as the
keys Q, A, O, P, SPACE.
There is music for AY, but it is better to
off (press the "fire" on the dynamics, which in the lower right
corner), for music, apparently, was written by RND ... ;)
The rest is quite lucidly written in
the game itself. But still, let us
some of the nuances of the programming of the virus.
So, you're the editor of viruses
sozretsaete and unknown speakers. Quickly
Hover over the number of column and
Click the "fire". You will see
plate with the characteristic tube (this
turns out imenno tube:)), where
indicated, for which it is intended.
The first five tubes in the special comments are not
nuzhaayutsya - and all so it will become clear from the
contents of "test-tube" scroll. :) But Here are all the same
advice: 1 and 2, it is desirable to make smaller items, and
remember: it all depends between 3 and 4 points, and forms of
the virus.
Now consider the remaining test tubes:
6 - how long a cell can survive overpopulation, that is, not
"overheat" and not wither away;
9 - the ability to eat nearby
own cells (to be bold and
strong as Schvartsneyger:)). Maybe
disabled (with equal to zero);
10 - The rate of this "eating" in the name of victory! :)
11 - the ability to "preserve", ie
if the virus decides that he "kranty," he
falls as if in a coma. Maybe be
off (if equal to 0);
12 - the duration of this "conservation"
ie how long the virus would dare
again to rush into battle;
13 - How long after "conservation"
the virus can not fall back into it, and
simply: how long the virus has
be a hero,;)
14 - podvizhnosv virus, the virus can also specify the
direction in which it can move (given by the arrows);
15 - Distance advance of the virus
once, ie, how far he can
jump;:)
Squares with the numbers: they can be changed
places among themselves (about their destiny
can be found in the program). Little hint: the correct
placement of their little helps in the battle;
Further on you in a special wide bowl
(Petri dish, perhaps ...;)) creates a form of the virus. Do you
have a certain number of cells from which you can create a
virus of any shape.
Arrow cursor to the desired connecting a
cell and press the "fire":
once - moving cell;
twice - to select cells age from young to old (respectively,
changes color cells).
When you consider that the virus is ready - easily click on
the option "End" and you are the owner own harmful bacteria! ;)
Now the time has come to torment your
creation, and pressing the cursor-arrow on the
microscope lets you virus free and
See how he behaves in the real
life. There are several options: either the virus will die
immediately, or will live a bit. ;) But in the end, you still
go to forefathers. ;))) If the miracle happens, and
Your child prespokoynenko will move in its saucer, you can
click on BREAK and go to the start menu.
If you are happy with the result of vital activity of the
virus, then the hour baptism of fire, and you must pick
virusaprotivnika (hover over the field with a selected virus,
and press the "fire" - a field data check) and again by
clicking on a microscope, observe how your virus "XXX" famously
cracked down on any "cholera" (though for the first time all
these things are usually the opposite:)).
Well, good luck, and let it be with you viruses! ;)

In preparing the article used
Materials S. Kukovyakin and Sergei Sokolov.
So, by the various distortions of logic;) you create a
virus-champion and send it to the editors ASPECT'a. VIRUS II
program can be found in the annex to this number of our
newspaper.
Send us your viruses with a cover letter, which indicate your
name, age coordinates. If you do not live in
Peter, you can use a network of FIDO, or
native-mail. ;)
Send your virus no later than 5 th of July!
In subsequent issues ASPECT'a we will discuss the form of the
championship. If you have any interesting ideas / suggestions
please contact us, we'll be happy! :)))
