Pyskool 1.1.2

posted by TecSoft

Pyskool is a remake of Microsphere's Skool games written in Python and Pygame. It's designed to be very customisable and tweakable: even the behaviour of the characters is determined by lines in plain text configuration files.

The main changes since 1.1.1 are new theme tunes, new 'all shields' tunes, new 'open safe' tunes, new 'up a year' tunes and new lesson questions and answers for Skool Daze Take Too, Ezad Looks, and Back to Skool Daze. The new tunes (actually nursery rhymes and other traditional songs) are done in the style of the original Skool game tunes (i.e. rasping notes produced by code running in contended memory). Hopefully you'll be able to recognise some of them!

Мое знакомство с sjasm началось где-то год-полтора назад, но об этом позже.

По теме, обозначенной в заголовке. Все началось примерно год назад, когда на zx.pk.ru увидел пост siril|4d, тогда тема показалась интересной, но абсолютно не актуальной. Вопрос был забыт на год.

micro men — художественный фильм, история клайва синклера, описан период 1978-86гг.

клайв синклер и крис карри на пути к успеху. разработка первых доступных домашних компьютеров (zx-spectrum, acorn). идеи и озарения, разногласия, ненависть...

фильм стоит потраченного на его просмотр времени! интересен, даже просто как художественное произведение, без исторической привязки к людям и фактам, но разумеется интереснее в историческом разрезе в чем он тоже очень не плох, пусть и имеет некоторый художественный окрас.

страна: великобритания
заказ на произвдство: bbc4
режиссер: saul metzstein
сценарий: tony saint
в ролях: alexander armstrong|clive sinclair, martin freeman|chris curry
жанр: документальная драма/комедия
премьера (мир): 8 октября 2009
время: 84 минуты
язык: английский, русская дорожка
анонс, трейлер [1] [2], обсуждение|zxpk, создание русскоязычной версии...

русскоязычная аудио дорожка (mp3 44kHz, 128kbps, stereo, ~80mb) by conan, надеюсь не составит особого труда прицепить ее к англоязычному фильму с помощью virtualdub, avidemux... мне на это потребовалось меньше минуты, дольше скачивал дорожку. так же можно скачать "собранный" русскоязычный фильм здесь|zxpk, torrent|torrents.ru, on-line версия|my-hit.ru.
