Spectrum in Taganrog
SEM / CODERS 'ACADEMY,
Taganrog
Privetstvyyu all readers Rivayvla!
I want to tell you about the life of the beloved SPECCY in
Taganrog. Our town has a very small (only 300 thousand
inhabitants), and users SPECCY - and even less (70-80 people).
Currently, the city now has only one company
dissemination of new programs for SPECCY (CHiP Co.), but it
pretty good deystvyet: new programs appear almost kazhdyyu week.
Until the summer of 1996 in Taganrog was a multitude of
separate, independent programmers, and myzykantov hydozhnikov,
but were More and two group ', each of which consisted of four
people. One of them (CODERS 'ACADEMY HACKERS' GROUP) vypyskala
numerous boot'y and small demos. In its plans for the future
was implement two ambitious project: PENTIX (a game similar
on Tetris, but figyrki little else be the default form, color
and fall smoothly), as well as BRILLIANCE MEGADEMO, but the
latest draft stopped after writing several pieces out of
laziness of programmers.
Then, three programmers from CODERS 'ACADEMY retired on
SPECCY and moved to IBM, and the only one left with little or
no work. At the same time drygaya Taganrog gryppa (UNITED
COMPUTER MANIACS or UCM) finished the game raboty HEAVY METAL
MOVER. After MOVER'a had several plans, including the Black
Cloak but none of them has not been realized.
Somewhere in the middle of last year there were two
programmers of UCM (SEM and DEX) and one of the CODERS 'ACADEMY
(STEVE) and decided to organize novyyu gryppy. On the radio
market was hanged ad. And now, after two weeks gryppa more than
15 people. From the name remained only CODERS 'ACADEMY
(apostrophe required).
The main project was a game SODOM 3D. It was planned that
this will be a game-type CITADEL, but among the authors of the
program have been disagreements. They were caused by disputes
over the size of the screen in the game. One coder (DEX) wanted
to make the big screen, but then the player could see no
farther than 4 steps forward (as you walk in bydto a dark cave
with a lighted lamp). Else be the default (SEM, ie, I) wanted
make the screen as in the CITADEL, but then the player could
see up to ypora, although for normal maps for more than 15
steps, virtually no required. And because of this split project
was stopped, how and is at the moment. This was followed by
another kycha projects but in the end I (SEM) decided to do
sequel HEAVY METAL MOVER, but with more ydobnym interface,
well-scan images and plenty of yrovney.
At the moment the game is almost over, there were only
myltiplikatsionnye insert at the beginning and end of the game.
Program bydet occupy the whole disk. Fidoshniki able recently
to get acquainted with a brief description and prices on igry
ety.
At the same time DEX and started a DMan igry WING COMMANDER.
Game bydet have many missions before each mission bydet
myltfilm, povestvyyuschy about your job, then the mission
itself, performed in vector graphics with shading (as in the
STAR STRIKE 2), only faster. At the moment of the vector
graphics completed, made the first yroven.
Along with these projects dvymya potihonky moves
Game PENTIX, the sources which were vykypleny y its author.
Also recently, the city began vypyskatsya electronic zhyrnal
called PUBLIC SPIRIT. At the moment vypyschen a number of
application which has a demo version PENTIX'a.
In the near future group ':
- Vypysk second issue of PS;
- Vypysk MOVER'a 2, the approximate dates of 10-15 August
1997;
- Completion of the WC, the timing vypyska ymalchivaetsya;
- The continuation of game PENTIX, but because its author is
still
and the author zhyrnala, it vypysk delayed.
- After MOVER'a 2 are two possibilities:
1). Work on 3D game type CITADEL. At the moment, has
is hodilka on the map, much like in the Citadel, but
without glitches.
2). Work on the realtime strategy.
