Re: Enlight '96!
We then asked: "But how much can you?"
The answer: "As much as you want! .."
Today the talk about Enlight begin with
letters to the echoes of Vladimir ZX.SPECTRUM
Larkova in which he shares with all
we have some news ...
Letter published in a slightly abridged version:
[Skipped from Vladimir Larkov]
Now about Varese with E96: The first three
Places (demos) for particularly impatient I
threw in a uenkode SPB.SPECCY, others
one day go to a fehu SPECTRUM
hobetizirovannom form (from 362.2). All this
good in two versions (tap 'hobeta) I
send CodeRipperu for putting some on
ftp. Put it all together.
The shell is ready for the pictures (thanks to
Chris). Since the mass of pictures and they scored an almost
all 128k, then the shell no frills, but with all the necessary
(Title, author, glasses, place and Kempston
Mouse Caliper;).
It now remains to finish the music. Try
to do everything quickly, but there's as it turns. But I hope
to finish all the days this epic.

Now a few comments from the Editor
for those who have something to do not understand ...
If you do not have access to the bbs, then the first
paragraph can simply ignore.
Meaning there is this: if, you had a modem,
you could, would download some demos
shown in Enlight'e directly from the echo area ...
Of the shell. Hacker Cris immediately after the party began to
make (and, apparently, already almost done), a viewer for
Enlight'ovskih pictures.
The rest, I think everything is clear ...
Continue. Muscovites once recovered from the "high" produced by
Enlight'e people trying to do something similar in themselves
in Moscow. I do not know what they have there conversations in
the Zx-Net'e, but I know what a Fido, as I hasten to tell you.
Today will publish only one letter from Sergei Novikov, Yuri
Matveev. I understand in Moscow firmly decided that only "Step"
is able to organize FANTASY '97, as long as they are called ...

Here are the latest news from Moscow.
And in the conclusion of today's conversation about
Enlight we publish a long letter to Sergei Novikov.
[Skipped from Sergei Novikov]
Hi, folks!
I looked at that moment, all the best
demos submitted by our wonder-encoders on ENLiGHT. All but the
demo from DR / RPSG ... But I still want to share their
thoughts on their quality, and say a few words (not always
pleasant) about each. Let's start ...
First, about the level of the demos as a whole. He, of
course, increased in comparison with previously existing on the
Spectrum demo scene, but still, in my opinion, there is scope
for increasing the steepness of the demos, and significant.
First of all, almost never used multicolor. And if you combine
all the best effects in a demo ... that get! As someone said of
the great (2EL:)): "Hackers of the world, to unite!"
Also a little steep pictures. Pleasant exception is the demo
of Influence by SEAMANS ... Understandably, not all artists,
but if the demo on ENLiGHT ready, you can also find a good
picture (even if stolen, so this is not prevented Illusion by
X-Trade to take first place!).
Most demos are small,
The authors clearly sought to accommodate all the 128
kilobytes. Can not be done
beautiful podgruzku from disk (for example: demo
by Seamans)?
Finally, I note that some authors (I will not point the
finger at Rambo etc.) presented clearly failed demos -
sense of their display was to show their abilities and
opportunities, and hit the general public, which was forced to
listen to nasty music and look at the unpleasant effects (demo
ICE CREAM) ...
We now turn to a short story about
each demo separately ...
Let's start with VIBRATIONS, because this demo was shown
earlier than others.
From the outset, there is foul
inscription in English, which
quickly replaced by an introduction. Moreover,
who have not had time to read this inscription, I
"Friendly" to download the demo to advise
48K mode.
But times change, and change the inscription. The first part
of the vibration quite beautiful, very nice music. Though the
entry, exactly as deme, too prolonged. I can advise impatient
keep the blank - go to the very demo ... Well, what can say
about it? Very good music, not really a nasty schedule, a very
high level of coding. Particularly impressive is part RUSH
1996. Very Pleasant, a little bored in their own way
beautiful. The remaining part is pretty
quick, fairly steep, but not very
pleasant. Do not get me wrong: made
they are even decent, but now contemplate
Many of them I did not quite deliver
no fun ...
Made a very original epilogue. In general, this deme is
definitely worth One of the first places. Rating:
Copyright: Rush International Software
Producing Association
Graphics: 67% (few graphics are not very
cool)
Music: 94% (yes a lot different!)
Code: 100% (very steep coding)
Idea: 72% (effects not invented
is not something that Illusion!)
We now proceed to the demo, which was
recognized as the best: the Illusion MD by X-Trade.
The huge minus for this demonstration -
almost all the effects of black and white. Whether the authors
are sitting on a black and white TVs, then Whether next to
them, but the color images appear here only a couple of times.
Another Big minus - almost stolen graphics ... So how did the
demo with negative traits to reach the first
place? That it be resolved
Corollary! Joke!
In fact, for all its faults Illusion is at the forefront of
all other positions. First of all music: at first it was
clearly not very good, but then at the end of the month ... In
general, podkonets music becomes very and again very
enjoyable. Besides the effects of ... Here
everything is done very cool! And most importantly, original.
Especially memorable part: bouncing ball on a trampoline,
Robocop, Sonic ... This demo is really done with humor, which
allows not only to peer into the intricate effects, as relax,
rest and more time to rest ...
Copyright: X-Trade Group
Graphics: 65% (not really, that's just
saver "Illusion "...)
Music: 90% (sorry, that in the beginning is not
very successful and only one)
Code: 90% (very good)
Idea: 100% (the upper class!)
Now let's turn our eyes (not
understatement!) to the demo # 3 - Eye Ache by
Code Busters Group.
Universally Recognized leaders at this time
produced good and big enough
demo (do not know why so many she seemed a little). It is
steeper Insulta, as is still a dream. Here are the top three I
would not put it. But let's consider it in detail. So that we
have ... Very nice music during
demonstrations (and not so in the Epilogue) ...
The graphics really are not the best, but
very good (which only cost cartoons). But most of all I liked
"PICART COMING FROM HELL". Disadvantages demos include
multicolor only for Pentagon. Well, in the slope of the 256
colors nobody somnivaetsya (if there really 256, I have not the
Pentagon).
Very contradictory impression this deme. On the one hand,
very cool, on the other hand, many demos look
effective. In short, a typical fourth-fifth place.

Entertainment
(In the bent, As and Virgin?)
Code: 100% (256 colors - it must be
able!)
Music: 80% (in the epilogue - so yourself)
Graphics: 90% (Picart - class!)
Idea: 89% (original)
Next demo took fifth place. I
immediately passed on to her because DeMouy, who occupied the
fourth I have not seen). So, Influence ...
What we see right after boot:
just great graphics, cool music, user-friendly interface. The
entire demo is arranged quite comfortably: nothing annoys
almost all very, very nice. So, in my opinion, very cool. And
do not because the demo Moscow, but here
In my opinion, better graphics, and possibly music. Maybe
because in the illusion she is also very, very cool, but there
she was alone. In the vibrations of the same great music, but
still not the best.
What else can I say about this demo?
The full schedule and a very high quality, elegant music, good
effects. Effects not the best, I agree. Many of the effects
have met before, but there are also new.
Something generally have not met ...
In short, pretty good and certainly at least fifth place.

Group
Graphics: 100% (the best graphics in the Deme!)
Music: 96% (cool)
Code: 85% (not bad)
Idea: 99% (many original
effects and graphics)
Another demo wrote Firm Galaxy,
known for its irons Rowenta. I was expecting, in truth, to see
something more abruptly. This demo is not very bad, but not
very good. Music does not cause elation,
schedule is a decent but not great.
Do you like the only vector fighter
the rest is already there. However, the demo made just 2
people, but here ... Well, not most impressive, well done.
Disappointed 3d-cube: it was possible and decent graphics
inserted in the face. Outcome: not at all impressive score on
ENLiGHTe given is true.

Graphics: 69% (and not comment
desirable)
Music: 79%
Code: 84%
Idea: 100% (very original)
Well and remained demo Action by VAV of
Megacode H.G. Sixth, like the place. AND
very sorry that no 4-5th. Cons: very fast and because of this
very short Dema, a small number of graphics. But everything
else is just class! Demo did one man! At the same codes
at incredibly high for a single person
level! Full of very exciting effects, which are very cool look.
Great music from KSA (I liked most of all) ... In general, I
liked it. This demo is very zahvavtyvaet from beginning to end,
but compared to other monsters demomeykinga, the first place it
clearly does not apply.
Copyright: VAV
Graphics: 80% (a little, but without defects)
Music: 100% (!)
Code: 100%
Idea: 78%
The remaining demos or style vykoli
eye, or I did not see them.
PS: This letter I wrote for 1 hour and 15
minutes.
PPS: To Matthias! I would be glad if this
writing something useful when writing
Review ENLiGHTa!
So far, people!
