Skyhigh 07 ch11 About Raz

          about raz of camelot







as promised, i bring you an interview
with the coder of this magazine!!!
lemme introduce to you :

             raz of camelot



+ yo raztafa first of all welcome to my
  humble home!!!
  second pleazzz gimme a brief descrip-
  tion of the person : raz!!

- hmm. well ..i'm ..i mean .. oh bugger!
  where's my coffee ?? (glug-glug-glug)
  ahhh...  that's better! now, what was
  the question??.
- description? okay here we go. i'm
  right now sitting in a chair in biz-
  zies home. i'll tell you what i see.
  (looking down) right underneath the
  table i see a pair of slippers which
  contains my smelly feets. the slippers
  are brown with some kinda white fur in
  side. i also see a pair of cowboy-
  trowsers and sum (almost) white sucks.
  my strong masculine (??) torso is
  covered in a purple sweater. my head
  is dominated by black hair, and some
  crazy person has grown a moustache
  in the middle of my face.
   right next to me i see a coffee-mug
  and... oh uh. so the description was
  about me only??. well lets proceed dis
  interview.

+ well what to say!!!
  actually i meant what kinda person you
  are not what close you wear!!
  but who cares! i don't (i've seen him)
  ok raz !! i won't ask you about your
  c64 carreer. coz i guess almost every-
  one knows you have coded the game :
  'hagar' and you're a member of camelot
  but i would like to ask you about your
  coding skills..
+ when can we expect to see your name in
  the charts and with what projects!!


- well at the moment im coding this gfx-
  collection for you my friend. but
  actually it's going to be a surprise,
  so please forget i mentioned it at all
  what i meant to say is that i'm going
  to chock da scene with a lot of camels
  terorrizing your screen. the 'raznost'
  demo will 'soon' be out (-heard that
  before??). the demo wich started as a
  little demo keeps on growing (i don't
  hope this goes for me aswell!)
  furthermore the next issue of our mag
  'revealed' is soon to be released!


+ talking about 'revealed'!! for those
  who don't know raz coded a mag for his
  own group just before this mag!
  yo raz please give the scene some info
  about this project!!


- as you have problably allready noticed
  then 'revealed' is a lot different
  than all other scene-mags.
  first of all it's legal!! meaning no
  cracker-charts or other crackeractivi-
  ties. our goal is to write about game-
  developments, techniques and the game-
  industry in general. next issue will
  feature 5 chapters concerning the code
  behind games (e.g. i'll bring you all
  details, tips'n'hints about how to
  code a fullcolour blockscrollroutine
  for use in e.g. platform-games..)


+ for all of you thinking about using
  such routines why not check out the
  upcomming issue of 'revealed'
  well raz, there's one thing i have
  noticed since you contacted me a long
  time ago! - you are very open minded
  concerning your code. what i mean is
  that you have (in my eyes) a very good
  philosophy concerning sourcecode.
  please explain yourself..


- i believe in importance of sharing our
  knowledge with others instead of keep-
  ing it for oneself.by this i mean that
  it's also very important to let others
  see and use your routines. it is very
  instructive to see how other coders
  have solved certain problems.
  i myself spread source-code with my
  sendings.and i would like others to do
  the same. i belive that we by doing
  this can inject more life into the
  scene, and educate more coders.and in
  the same time elevate the quality of
  programming.


+ well i must say that i agree. to all
  you coders out there! think about it!!
  why not help eachother instead of
  fighting eachother..

  ....

-  (biz kid has just left the building,
    so i have to continue by my self)

+  = raz .... - = raz-tafa


+  well raz, this is your better self
   asking some questions. answer my
   honestly or i'll torture you with
   nightmares the entire next month !!

-  humphff. fuck off lamer, i'm the true
   raz. the bad side in raz are far big-
   ger than the good ones.. ha ha ha i'm
   evil.

+  no no no !!! (!) raz is a nice guy
   and it's the better half that
   is in charge. raz thinks of nothing
   but how he can help other people.
   that's why he keeps on telling people
   who smoke that they should quit or
   else they whould die of cancer. once
   he even offered his girlfriend (who
   smokes) a copy of a 'biology-rapport'
   (he had writen all by himself) about
   the mutations smoking causes.

-  don't belive this crap. raz is an
   annoyance to the rest of the world.
   he thinks he is sooooooo clever and
   he is always a pain in the ass to
   his surroundings. furthermore, he
   probaly is the worst 'messer' in the
   whole damn world. just look at this
   table: the side which biz kid uses
   is nice and clean and the discs are
   in there boxes. now have a look at
   the side raz uses: first off all, the
   tables are covered in discs WITHOUT
   covers, pieces of paper containing
   calculations and other nonsens,
   coffee mugs and electric leads.

+  well i think it's POSITIVE that he
   keeps the mess at his side of the
   table!
   yo i (biz kid) is back again!!!

   well i guess only a schizophrenic
   dude like raz would interview himself

   yo raz i would lik.....
   where the fuck is raz?? no i can't
   belive it; he is taking a shower!
   well i guess i better end for now.
   this waco dude is unbeliveable!!!


   but you'll see (or hear) alot more
   of raz in the upcomming issues..
   coz starting from next issue, raz'll
   beginn a chapter-serie on programming
   so unfortunately we didn't get rid of
   him..shit shit shit...


----------------------------------------

ok at last i would like to use the oppor
tunity to ask in general if someone
would like to get interviewed for this
magazine?
if you're interessted then contact me
and i'll make the arrengements..

          ok biz kid is off!!!


   see ya in S K Y H I G H issue #008
