Demo making on Spectrum.

Greetings, All! My thoughts on the subject. Lately most demos are made up of 99% chunk effects. B chunks even implement the output of static images (Bobering, Forever, etc.) and static text labels. Where did the nimble multicolors and hi-resolution effects???? But almost all 2D effects that are now implemented in chunks, can be done in multicolor. And not for 3-4 ints, but for one interruption, there would be a head on his shoulders. But noooo! Today's elite demomakers believe that multicolor and hi-resolution are old style, which is not normal it’s more pleasant for the viewer to see a nerdy, dirty black and white mess on the screen, which is proudly called a tunnel, bump, zoom. In short, if this continues, then the Spectrum demoscene will either collapse in the very near future or completely degrade. And even ardent opponents of demomaking will no longer rejoice, because with the death of the demoscene Spectrum in our country will remain only in the same comatose state as in border. I wish you health, happiness and creative Uzbeks. Aleksey Malov aka VIVID/Brainwave.

NOBODY ELSE ISSUES QUORUMS! :-( ES> And the organization "QUORUM" ceased to exist in 1998 ES> year. Formally (and from a legal point of view) this is true. But, actually, what I meant was that Karimov is engaged in assembling, adjusting and selling Quorum-1024 when he has time for it (by the way, they have already sold there are a lot of such computers). The fact is that this can also be called a "release" albeit with some stretch. As for the organization - formally it can be and was cancelled, but in the soul of almost every active spektrumist of ours region, the shopping center on Moskovskaya Gorka is associated primarily with the word "Quorum". And not only because they sell software, computers, etc. there. "Quorum", by the way, also helped coders who did not have access to grids to throw out their creations to the outside world. As long as we have offices like this, even if they are formally abandoned, but existing thanks to the enthusiasm of people like Karimov, and quite tolerably working - we will not reach the state that is observed in the West. The most important thing is that Quorum has done a lot of good for coders. And not just the mesh.Many coders met each other through the same office, and from here already the exchange of experience and the emergence of new groups. And may the Great Creator be with you, Eugene!
