INTERVIEWS
(C) RINDEX
As you may remember in the last issue was published
little scandalous interview Mr GPV. Some, particularly
interested me, the questions, the answer was very vague. AND So
I decided to take another, more detailed interviews with GPV.
Here it is almost completely, except for certain ad hoc
expressions. Please note that the views Respondent GPV does not
coincide with ideas of editorial, particularly on issues
relating to specific individuals in our network. Therefore, for
the impersonal approach to the issue we are happy to publish
their statements on the subject.

(C) RINDEX
G> As I got into L.O.S.W.?
R> Yes.
G> I was kindly invited back on the phone.
R> Who?
G> TVM.
R> And the next.
G> I go there. Began to work actively in this group, and
Then it so happened that I got a chance to collide with Isayev.
R> This is how it will he dropped out?
G> It so happened that I had to run over him.
R> But how? Tell us.
G> I wrote a demo, called KANO1, in collaboration with
some friends who helped me come up with text.
My point is, that nakodirovat and, of course before this fellow
with the TVM WASKEZ'om sought with 12 hours of the night to 6
am on the phone with Isayev greetings LOSW'u that ended by the
way good luck, they finally achieved that finally Isaev they
still send their regards, and I naturally release This demos
foil their plans, and Isayev said that unless there is on my
public apology, the greetings LOSW'u will not, and let LOSW'y
dealt with me as they want, and then TWM said that if they are
not greetings, then we'll turn you out. I said that he will go.
And he left. A snitched on me Isaev themselves LOSW'y, more
precisely, TITUS and WASKEZ.
R> Did TITUS in L.O.S.W. 'e been?
G> No TITUS know that I'm doing this demo, and accordingly
Isaev and dripped. Until now, in general, it remains unknown
someone is really snitched WASKEZ or TITUS, but someone
two of them that's for sure, or both.
R> Hmm. It's hard. Now we talk a little about your work in
L.O.S.W. 'e.
G> Very good.
R> Well then, here's deme UPRISE. What are the effects of such
miserable in it?
G> What is pathetic?
R> poor.
G> Wait a minute, wait a minute. Question-then what is?
R> The question is, what do you say yourself, that's cool
kodiruesh, and what a miserable effects UPRISE? I just can not
pick them another word.
G> I can say that the effects were made during what I
learned to code, and they do a 93 th to 94 th year, even mud,
no climbing on the 95 th, so that we can talk about the
steepness of the effects.
R> But I certainly have not seen your COMING SOON: BORDER
MANIA, and therefore can not say anything.
G> BORDER MANIA I'm not sure that's ever come out, but if
people would wish, then naturally I will do it, and released.
If the people will feel the need to curb the effects, please,
as you like, I do not mind.
R> And why do not you release some curbs megademu?
G> The fact that the BORDER MANIA, if you look at the title, and
is a reflection of the charm of the possibility of Spectrum
curb, but the fact that this project is turned down because the
end end effect, ie, when I finish, I like it already did not
seem so cool, so accordingly I had procrastinated on a separate
floppy disk and start making new, and everything is repeated.
Therefore BORDER MANIA still has not come out.
R> And when will come?
G> First, there will not a very big demo, part ten
maybe ...
R> Hmm, a little.
G> Well, it's really small. It is quite simple, but
There I made a few curb effektikov, though she probably
will be 90% of them consist of Spectrum if people enjoy these
effects, there will be some feedback, no matter what -
polozhitelnue or negative, I just want to use a BORDER MANIA.
R> It is good. And how the idea of your reading room in
ANIGDOTES?
G> When I poznakoilsya with Mr.ZERO, and when I showed him my
old enough effects that they liked it even possible to say he
dragged them, and he said that for some reason do not you We
try to make a new reading room with music.
R> And the speed like OLDMAN'a, naturally ...
G> None. He's no speed limit is not imposed, he said,
the main thing that was music. Well I thought that speed, for
example, both ZX-NEWS will not hold anyone, and decided to do a
little quickly. And he did. The originality of the method is
that the screen is scrolling through the stack, and while this
may come at any time interrupt, and the screen does not address
gaditsya return. This method, I still have not seen in more
than one program.
R> And to improve it going?
G> Since, as far as I understand it, all the while satisfies
the reader ...
R> No, it does not satisfy! No unloading of the text.
G> ... wait a minute, I'm still not finished. I certainly will
make the shipment of the text, remove glitches at the expense
SINCLAIR joystick can still some function added. But in
principle, which can be e slit there add?
R> 128-th mode.
G> I can say that for the volume, which is needed in ANIGDOTES,
many kilobytes is not required. Color-reader to do too
bezsmyslenno, because for any jokes you need it.
R> In principle, correct.
G> And what's the problem? A 128-kilobyte NIL do I, but so far
these orders I have not been reported.
R> That way, a good question asked CDS. And why do not you
make a game?
G> Why would not I make the game?
R> Well.
G> On this issue I also have the answer. The fact that
In order to make the game as a minimum you need a good artist,
and people who would come up with toys for a scenario that would
buduyuschem would be popular.
R> Here's the scenario - RED ALERT. That poorly done?
G> [silence]
R> Well, it is much better than DUNE 2. Admit it.
G> Good. Assume that the scenario is.
R> A painter won MDF HACKER.
G> But in addition to toys I have yet to make a few pieces
system software, and if it turns out that we should do more and
BORDER MANIA, and will have to do it, and only then,
respectively, after what I had already planned, I'll make a
toy. May be in parallel with this, let's see how the rest of
life.
R> C as "with it"?
G> Well, there are some interesting in terms of system software.
R> What?
G> This is a commercial secret.
R> sly.
G> But I can say is that when these programs poyavyatsya in the
light ...
R> ... Of course, all of them protaschatsya.
G> Naturally. Especially from what I have planned enough
long.
R> But you will carry out only now.
G> The fact that I do not act like many people on the Spectrum
...
R> Who for example?
G> I will not give specific examples. For example, there are
people who have learned how to display the symbol on the RST #
10, and immediately make demo. Learned to make stars - just do
a demo, not one, but several dozen so to speak.
R> Well, I agree, I agree.
G> I prefer to first learn to adequacy, and then
has to start somewhere do. And the charges against me that I
was there I do nothing, just to show off and nichrome not
releasing it unjustified accusations, so that all future
developments will show. Moreover all the more difficult by the
fact that unlike many, I am a School of Chemistry at the
Institute, and it is not strange, it is enough hard work and
time coding is not so much.
R> Hmm. And here, incidentally, was an interesting question,
and consider Are you a cool coder?
G> Well, the slope is a relative term, for example ... Well, in
principle - yes. Anyway I'm not the worst, I can say with
complete confidence.
R> I do not know. I do not see your program.
G> I can say that all I did was lay in my home.
Because I am their projects such as BORDER MANIA for example,
and any others, I still did not announce until the end.
R> Why-Why are you not to distribute them?
G> Because I thought that it was not cool enough, as I
mentioned earlier, but when I saw fit to release something,
people will see it immediately.
R> A is not whether you want to make their DeMouy on ENLIGHT'97?
G> As I said, there are two problems here. First you need a
good music, so I think that KSA is not pozhiditsya vsetaki
music and I write. The second problem - it's graphics, but the
schedule I prefer to replace the effects, but all the same kind
of drawing is necessary, but the artist I basically had already
found. And there is a third - and the most significant problem,
the fact that, as has been seen from the same demo UPRISE, I
have very poorly developed design skills, and I can not do,
say, cool nakodirovannogo effect, but this does not apply to
UPRISE, it is the later effects, make a nice effect. He is
either written in REALTIME and not so handsome, or it
elementarniyshy, but nice effect. I do not like sprite effects,
etc., because it's for laymerov.
R> But nice. Here at ENLIGHT'96, for example, the top places
ihnii.
G> The fact that nick, they usually do not know the sprites
done it or not, and as VIBRATIONS, a codec for this deme very
elementary, I can even tell you how these effects made and how
they can ukrutit. But this, I think, is not included in
interview.
R> In-in. Similarly, for sure.
G> Because if I just start to paint something like this can be
done ukrutit, then turn into an interview is something very
incomprehensible. But if anyone does not believe - call me and
I'll all explain.
R> Why do you think is best for DeMouy ENLIGHT'96 - EYE ACHE?
G> The fact that her most original principles in terms
of coding, in any case, the only original effect I saw there is
now the last part of [this should be one word, but I have not
heard] of points with different densities [again not hear]
placement, resulting in a-effect of polychromy smooth
transition and ... in general, multicolor was way before it
was, well, I liked it in general, in terms of coding, and it is
not as laymerskaya as, for example, VIBRATIONS, or the same
ILLUSION, I do not talking about the rest.
R> But still it is, however, only third place.
G> Well, maybe, of course, the schedule there and suffer. Maybe
design there is not very good at the expense of the music I can
not say, of course VIBRATIONS done much more stylish
as ILLUSION. Are there any switches to the music, everything is
clear, but I look mostly at coding.
R> And people look at it, that was beautiful.
G> On ENLIGHT'e naturally. The whole point is that, if so, for
example, locate the person the user kagogo anything or ... I do
not know will not say to not offend a particular person who I
come up with effects, but in principle I find these people,
already found ...
R> Who, if not secret?
G> Well, the secret of the firm. So that these people have not
adopted any of the other, such as PROGRESS. Well PROGRESS is a
separate topic ...
R> Let's talk now, we'll talk.
G> Da-da-da. So, I have already offered to do some effects,
they are in terms of the code is very simple, but beautiful to
awesome. Maybe if I have time and desire I nakodiruyu all I was
told to me a demo with graphics and music will draw, and ... be
the first place. Hee-hee.
R> A may be the first place will RST7?
G> I doubt it.
R> And suddenly, he made such that the straight horror ... in
general.
G> Well, judging by EYE ACHE, I would not say so. INSULT I
think the effects of diverse than EYE ACHE. EYE ACHE there too
many sprites, almost everything. The only original part, I've
said it here last, before CREDITS. Which I have not yet seen.
R> Transfusion of flowers ...
G> Yes. Merging colors was ECHOLOGY, but it's there just
different. There's just one attribute, but here it is with
different densities of dots per square centimeter, one more.
R> Okay. Sick to your question - PROGRESS. What are you are so
not vzlyubil?
G> PROGRESS?
R> Well.
G> Well, the question is rather complicated, I will now try to
explain ... The fact that ... Let's start from the beginning. I
once was. And he lived was MPS. And so the fate of the
distribution so that we were destined to meet, and we did. And
the MIC has asked me to teach him how to encode than I, in
principle, and engaged. And the method I was to that I made him
think of himself, and not ready to take any anyone out there
algorithms or procedures. And when he asked me to tell him how
to do that and then some, and gave him the sam .. [More did not
catch] and forced him to develop the idea himself. But because
he wanted to code quickly, he was very angry at this thing to
say that I greedy and do not want him to say some procedures
that I want him to learn to code, if I do anything to him do
not say, although some food for thought, I gave him. Give
hints, etc. As a result, in the late summer of 1996 he
maliciously accused me that I had uploaded a very strong, some
principles which I have not downloaded, and now he knows how do
absolutely all the effects, but he could not do it because I
uploaded it. In a general sense, I think, is clear. And, in
general, we had quarreled. And then FUX, I'm with him already
knew, I downloaded their plasma, and said that I should not
mended it to anyone, except special agents, two or three
friends, but with the proviso that it owes nothing to download.
Well, at that time I thought it was can be MPS'y ... I
downloaded them, and then found out that it already after
ENLIGHT'96, MPS'y skorefanilis with SEAMANS'ami, naturally said
that I downloaded them and plasma FUX angry they are there
specifically for MIC'a booze at home, and started calling me,
call me all sorts of different netsinzurnymi expressions, and,
accordingly, we quarrel at all. Naturally then I was tired of
this order, and I also started them nazvanivat. This has
aggravated the situation at all. Moreover, MIC me here recently
on the phone claimed that he was steeper TITUS'a, RST7 and the
music he writes better than KSA, PROGRESS almost the coolest
band on the Spectrum, and they make the best of everything,
etc. But as is evident from BRAIN CRASH'a and I'm not going to
talk about INFLUENCE and PAROXIZM, in terms of coding
everything is very simple. Very simple. This I can say as an
expert. If anyone, anything unclear, please call - I will
explain that there's just as well that there is very simple.
And secondly, I did not like what was done solely sprites.
R> But BRAIN CRASH but beautiful.
G> A beautifully. I do not argue. But the sprites. As I've
said, I do not pure love animation, I love still more REALTIME.
Anyway, I try to do the effects are not sprites, ie I byus
until recently, and I try to somehow do it in REALTIME. But in
general, here I have here is on a diskette full of effects,
which, if well enough to handle, paint on the schedule,
REALTIME are looking at a much steeper than PAROXIZM. PAROXIZM,
I think, worse than UPRISE even looks like.
R> Hmm. Well, I do not know, I do not know ...
G> Every opinion.
R> UPRESE yet somehow not so ...
G> UPRISE I generally recommend to format, and vykunut the
window.
R> Why so?
G> A very bad demo. I have already noted that this demo ...
R> Probably just very old?
G> Yes, it is not even that old. The thing is-effects which I
learned to code. They were written long ago, and rather
pathetic. A demo of this, in principle, I even forced the issue
because that told me that I have nothing, but at least I'm
talking like, I'm cool coder. I had to quickly get old effects
from floppy disks and from something there is a strange blind.
Resulting in a UPRISE.
R> Tricky question here is. Is it possible to make DOOM on the
Spectrum?
G> The fact is that DOOM I've already seen. Its done and
STALKER (demo) and DIGITAL REALITY, there may be someone else.
I do not dealt with this issue, and I do not know whether I
would do, but we must be viewed as made of DOOM STALKER'a and
DIGITAL REALITY, and, if possible, I'll make steeper.
R> deviate from the topic coding. And what newspaper you most
happy on the Spectrum?
G> I have no preference one way or another newspaper, because
newspapers are constantly changing each other, but in the
beginning, I liked ONLINE, when it was popular, it was very
interesting. It published an interesting article. When there
was such an informal newspaper as FUCK, she liked me, in
principle, as long as Some comrades do not call them names, do
not write back assaults on me, but, in principle, from this the
paper I did not less liked. All the same it is some diversity,
taking into account that ON-LINE pritersya already by this time
...
R> This is how to understand?
G> Well, to me he is tired. There was less of something
interesting, original. Well then there now, a list of BBS,
advertising, kakayanibud there, a mosaic or something like
that, something I am less began to meet less than the pure
hardware lotions. Then I accidentally found out about the
newspaper MAXIMUM, which I was basically too pleased, the only
thing that I did not like it, so it's reader.
R> What is the reader, API or OLDMAN'ovskaya?
G> The both infuriates me. Later I found out about the
newspaper NICRON. In principle, all the papers are interesting,
each in its own way. In general, they all for me equal.
Naturally, these words do not apply to such newspapers as the
ZX-WORLD, which I have never in my life seen, the more that it
does STRUKER, if I'm not mistaken. Yes?
R> Yes.
G> A STRUKER me very angry.
R> Why?
G> What about this a bit later. And so, in principle, the three
newspapers: ONLINE, which is something I have long ceased to
read, NICRON and MAXIMUM. A the rest I somehow do not look and
do not read, I still have enough and those three. A forgotten,
and certainly ANIGDOTES, for which I have done reading room.
[Censorship]
R> What kind of computer do you think is best?
G> answer this question is difficult enough, so far as
computers I have seen computers are not so much because I
directly dealt with the PROFI ...
R> No-no-no-no-no. I'm asking about the AMIGA or IBM PC.
G> I thought about the Spectrum.
R> no-no.
G> The fact that SPECTRUM, AMIGA, or IBM PC could compare
impossible, because cars are totally different class. As for
the Spectrum, I think this is one of the best ... No, the best
of the 8-bit machines, because it is distinguished by its
simple and very clever construction of the processor and all
the architecture, excellent assembler.
R> By the way, what assembler you use?
G> TASM'om.
R> TASM'om? And why not MASM'om or ALASM'om?
G> MASM 1.1 does not like me because ...
R> a lot of glitches?
G> Even that's not the bugs. The fact is that firstly it line
by line, that is, from line to line, scrolls slower than TASM,
and secondly there is a very strange inhibition in some places,
well and, of course, there are some glitches, so I do not use
them yet. That's when the MASM 3.0 or 5.0, it does not matter,
I see.
R> A ALASM?
G> No, probably this assembler I use will not.
R> Are you aware that RST7 makes the new TASM?
G> That's when it does, I'll see what it would be better MASM
or TASM, or ALASM, and will work in the assembly, which
I like most.
R> Okay, back to the AMIGA and PC. Which do you prefer?
G> While generally a Spectrum. A AMIGA I saw not long ago, and
saw her one some porshivuyu demo. In principle, the schedule
There I was fully arranged, it is very steep, and I only
that did not like, do not know if AMIGA such that the system
unit is in itself the keyboard.
R> But AMIGA 4000 Tower building, a little more than PC-shny.
G> A AMIGA 1200 is a separate system unit?
R> Honestly - I do not know, but make sure something is
possible, but ... I do not know honestly.
G> Well here it is the only nedostatochek, very reminiscent of
KVANTBK.
R> That's exactly AMIGA 4000 with Tower.
G> That's good. A pisyuk I do not recognize.
R> Why?
G> Because it is very dull, and debility tormoznutaya machine.
You can, of course, is a full-page print definitions, but
I think it makes no sense. He had a very rotten architecture,
etc.
R> A Spekrumov of which model is the best in your opinion?
G> The fact that I was dealing with four computers. This GRM,
The Pentagon, PROFI and ZX-NEXT. With SCORION'om I is not had,
can be fortunately, and I think that's what about this: PROFI
computer is not bad, but with him for so long has not worked,
and as ZXNEXT'a many people do not like it. I can say that the
machine is well suited, it has very good things, such as a
shadow ROM, MAGIC, which throws off almost everything you want,
well so do not need, it's a pretty good architecture and it is
important never buggy. I have it not glyukanul for all three
years that I have, never. As for INT'a, then course INT 69,208
cycles, 1,792 cycles are smaller than in the Pentagon, but the
advantage is that I'm doing all of the programs under this INT,
and my program will go on and on Pentagon PROFI without
problems. And those who make the programs at the Pentagon in
full INT, their programs will not work for me if I am certainly
not including turbo mode, on the PROFI and all the rest, because
Pentagon 320 lines per frame, and 71000 [hard to hear, maybe I
wrong, and one word I never heard] cycles. As for the Pentagon
it's quite buggy computer, but on account of the fast here I
can tell you that fast he senses the number of cycles in INT'e,
and if, for example, listen to music on my computer and the
Pentagon, it will play much slower than on my computer,
although the difference is only in 1792-only bar. The only
thing I can say that he is the Spectrum Spectrum. In all
variants of good thing is that one could download the TASM and
do anything you want.
R> Right. Here on this and finish.
G> Yes.
R> Exactly.
P.S. GPV> If anyone wants to argue with me about this
interviews, so please call me every day in the evening.
