First Words .......................................................... : Hiya all, and welcome to this anniversary issue! We're now also sharing news with Scenet, hosted by our new member Ghandy. So HugiNews, CFXweb and Scenet are now kind of a news-ring. Please read the "Feedback" section in this HugiNews. Happy reading, and see you next week. - Adok (Hugi Core & Royal Family) . :........................................................................ .. News ................................................................. : Hugi.GER #1 has been released. The first issue of Hugi.GER was released on March 11th, 2000. It is the sequel of the German Part that existed in Hugi #11 to Hugi #17. Subtitled "Back to the roots", it is based on the principles of the early Hugi issues: open for any topic, no censorship within the scope of democracy and tolerance for any writing style. Issue 1 includes 560 kbyte of articles in German language on various topics such as literature, computers, politics and animals. It is available as a diskmag for Windows 9x/NT and as a HTML edition. Posted by Adok. Link: http://www.hugi.de/ 5 kbyte web page design competition. There is an international web page design competition taking place at the moment (with no scene links I know of), the goal is to design a web page in HTML, scripts, pictures and style sheets in no more than 5k. The competition has attracted lots of international interest despite the fact that the prize money is just $50. Pages designed will be judged on: aesthetic appeal, function and further originality of the idea. The deadline for pages is 2nd April. Posted by Paradox.

Hell, yes! Surely they are! [in Ghandy's opinion] Posted by Poet, edited by Ghandy and Adok. Link: http://www.poetic.net/ Access Denied.

Link: mailto:Scenial@subphase.de Aural Planet. * Do you remember the CD Lightflow created by the musicians Scorpik, Key-G and Falcon? (All of them are former Pulse members.) Lightflow is full of fanciful ambient trance songs which were perfectly mixed with each other. I still love it, even if it's now around four years old. And now, nearly the same musicians have finished the work on their second album. * Check out their homepage! Posted by Ghandy, edited by Adok.

Feedback ............................................................. : Eclipse writes: "I must say that Hugi is the best diskmag ever created!! I love it mostly because there is a big Coders corner in every issue. But I have some problems at understanding some articles. It would be very cool if there were a Newbie Coders corner. There should be articles for beginners, for example: How to write your own 3DEngine, code some bitmap effects... Most texts for beginners are totaly useless, because they are talking about 'how to set mode 13h' or how to do a Zoomer or another simple efect. They are out of date!!! We need tutorials up to date and written in simple language, so that everyone can understand them!!!" I have already received several requests of this kind, and I also remember having written an article on this matter for Hugi, which was published some time ago. There is a real lack of consistent courses aimed at beginning democoders. In the past one could recommend the Asphixia tutorial series. But by now it is hopelessly outdated: it deals with Turbo Pascal, Mode 13h, palette effects etc. Today, the requirements to code a demo have changed dramatically: You need to master different programming languages, platforms, techniques and effects as back in 1995. At least a course that explained at least what people new to democoding should learn in what order and from what sources would be very important. . :........................................................................ ..
