Organizer ZX compo
(C) Cusick / Sinclair Club
Interview of Vladimir Semyonov
(Semen / Hell Raisers)
A few days after the end of
Paradox'a, when all passions subsided, and
ogranizatory could breathe easy, I
I came home to the main, single and
active organizer Spectrum Platform
to comment on past party.
I knew that not only Semen
listed as a committee, but
indeed truly dealt
organizing and conducting ZX contests
as they say, took fire on himself. For what
he orgomnoe thanks! So the question is
there were many, and mostly on the merits.
K> What do you have related to the festival
Paradox'2000?
S> The most direct, is an organizer
Platform ZX Spectrum.
K> And that was part of your duties?
S> I give my Spectrum, took
Application and competition works.
K> Works reached normal or fido
were Kakeya problems?
S> problems certainly were often caused by
authors who have sent broken
archives. This is what people
did not read the rules, which
it was clearly written in what format
sent work.
K> As far as I know, even coming
files in the format. rar?
S> Yes, and this too was.
K> So you had to unpack. Rar
on the Speccy?
S> It turns out that way ... But it is simply
impossible.
K> How did the Paradox, if all went smoothly?
S> Well, I would not say so. Hitch was, and
so in general was still good.
K> You can tell me what the problems were
specifically on the nominations?
S> At the expense ZX AY music compo. Summarized
Organizers platform PC. I have not had
time to connect the color modulator to
Spectrum'u and therefore play
music in a specially prepared
player has become impossible. Player
shows the number of work than
greatly facilitates the process
vote.
K> Who is the author of this program's?
S> Author of Snake / Omega Hackers Group
/ Partyzans, he made it back to the past
festival. Very easy to use player.
K> And something happened in reality?
S> We decided to use PC and
Display the numbers work on it.
Announce the start of the guiding compo. All in
Hall ready to listen and
vote. Warhawk was
prokruchevat slides on a PC with the number
composition. And suddenly I find out that he
went to lunch and turn your slides more
nobody! Just savagery of some sort!
K> You mean to say that during the party
one of the organizers can not
eat?
S> That's right, for eating there
specially scheduled breaks!
K> It appears that the organizers of the PC and finger
did not move to support ZX
Spectrum in a difficult situation?
S> It does not bother them. Similarly,
It was the same with the graphics. ZX Graphics compo
also performed on a PC. Announced the beginning of
Competition and emulation at the moment
did not exist. Its then a matter
Order had to download from
Internet.
K> who want to download?
S> Serzh Soft, thanks to him.
K> Why is the emulator was not recorded
advance?
S> Of course, the emulator was written in advance
and lay on the screw in PC'yuke Joker'a. But in
Last time Joker is something created
and the propeller stopped working. He then the whole
Paradox his tune.
K> What is your opinion on
quality and originality of work
submitted this year for
Platform ZX?
S> Well, I'll start from the beginning. In my opinion in
ZX Music compo undeservedly been
arranged location. This suggests
that evaluated the work of people who have no
no relation to Spectrum'u. Was
many people from the street. For all
indexes the first place was to
take Kenotron / ETC group / Scene. On the ZX
Graphics compo there were many worthy
work. Quality of execution undoubtedly
higher than the previous festival.
K> What do you think, why the second place
took a modest job of Disabler'a?
S> She stood by the idea. Graphs there
practically no ordinary cartoon. K
Unfortunately, this fact again
shows the reluctance of voters
objectively evaluate the submitted
work.
K> What kind of graphics work you put
Ten?
S> I put the top ten Cusick.
K> Why?
S> Because I liked the quality of
ispolneiya work. I appreciate it
graphics and draw this picture in 1941
hour. Work s51 of Cusick quite
deservedly won the first place. Not
Frankly, at the time of the demonstration plots
by the reaction of the hall seemed to me that
The first prize will work on Flying
Skull / Delta Hackers Group / Partyzans.
(Hereinafter referred to as FS / DHG) on the projection
screen
it looked good, but on closer
viewing, it becomes clear that her
quality of the weak.
K> Perhaps this is related to the problem
quality display GFX work?
S> Probably yes. During the demonstration,
work appears on the screen Left
pixels and bandwidth. Continuing Customized
PC'yushniki. Check and adjust the viewer
previously could not be any
opportunities.
K> So you're saying that PC'yushniki
wanted to get rid of the Speccy?
S> Yes, it was so.
K> How can you comment on
presented work on compo ZX 4kb
intro and 16kb intro?
S> Frankly, I thought that in addition to
graphics and music no more
be. Intro brought in last
the time and I was very glad. Until
the last moment it seemed that
Spectrum generally fail. Quality
works in principle is satisfactory.
However, in the intro FS / DHG used
one and that the same effects, it was very
markedly. Prizes was quite enough.
After some discussion, we decided to award
Zool 4kb intro from FS / DHG in spite of
the fact that she was alone. I wanted to somehow
thanking participants for their support
ZX Spectrum.
K> In my opinion, this is the right decision. As
behaved visitors during the party?
S> In general, all have been diligent. Only
were two men, which is something
nasty shouting. After them
sorted out without much difficulty.
K> As far as I know them and then
picked up by police.
S> I have not heard nothing about it, there was no time
look at it.
K> What are your impressions about
new premises?
S> The room is nice, renovation and
design, too. Only inconvenient,
that were not enough seats
Even viewers zhalovapis.
K> And how many seats?
S> I did not think about 60.
K> had a lot of newcomers?
S> About the same as on
Paradox'99.
K> What can you say in conclusion?
S> Thank you all for participating in the festival, with the
your support platform ZX Spectrum!!!
