Chaos Constructions 2019
On August 24-25, traditionally on the last weekend of summer, the computer festival Chaos Constructions 2019 will be held in St. Petersburg. At the conference during the festival, more than 60 reports will be presented to your attention. Initially, the festival was dedicated to the demoscene, and those computers that are now retro were the most modern. It all started in 1995 with the ENLiGHT festival organized by Petr Sobolev (frog). In those years, there was really no system administration or the Internet, the first programmers created code that output sounds and animations. Pioneers gathered once a year under one roof to show their work and share the code, which is now available for viewing and studying on , where you can see the work for all these years. From the ENLiGHT demo party, the computer festival Chaos Constructions grew. In 1999, the event was first held under a new name, and gradually an exhibition from the collections of enthusiasts appeared at the festival. Now this exhibition is known as the association , you can visit it in different cities of Russia and at the largest festivals and small events.
Chaos Constructions is part of the global demoscene - , most of the events take place in Europe, while in Russia such gatherings of like-minded people are closed one by one due to the lack of commercial background. This summer, unfortunately, was the last DiHalt party in Nizhny Novgorod. In Kazan, a group of enthusiasts decided to revive demoparty , which has not been carried out for more than ten years.
Now the festival can submit works for competitions in programming graphics, music and animation for different platforms: , see works at the festival, vote for the best and participate in the awards ceremony. Don't forget to take part in the Yandex hackathon, where you need to come up with gaming skills for Alice's voice assistant - you can participate as a team or individually. The organizers will choose the best 7 skills from the proposed skills and invite their authors to the hackathon. Applications are accepted until noon on 22 August. To take part in the hackathon, you need to develop a game skill for Alice in advance and . You can write a quiz, a quest, a simulator, a game for children and more, a card game, an intellectual game, a multiplayer game, or any other game. It must be published in or, if the skill is private, send a link to its page in .
This year, guys from the Open Laboratory of Ideas for Methods and Practices will join the exhibition area of our festival (). Enthusiasts in fields from instrumentation, programming and optics to design and pedagogy will demonstrate their developments. An exhibition of retro computers, as well as a retro television studio from the nineties, will immerse you in technical innovations from the 90s.
