Gooey 89 and GIDE Delayed by h4X0r
Posted by Nick on 31 December 1999, 00:05 GMT

Many of you have seen the posts on assembly-89 concerning h4X0r and his development - or the lack thereof - of Gooey and GIDE. Lots of you emailed or IM'ed me and h4X0r with your concerns. Since I just got home less than a half-hour ago, I'm going to post as much info as I can on the matter. Here is the IRC log of me talking with h4X0r at about 4:30 PM CDT. It also contains a forwarded email of the posts by h4X0r and Scott Dial of the TCPA that started the whole mess. Props to Rob Smith for taking his time to forward this to me. More information will come soon. Please read all of the IRC log after reading the email; it helps to answer even more questions, though I still doubt their validity.

Update (Nick): Alright. Two friends of mine (who choose to remain anonymous) have given me proof beyond a reasonable doubt that this is a total hoax. I have posted a rudimentary copy of GIDE. The readme reads as follows: "Do not distribute this, it still has a few bugs and code thats not mine :) --h4x0r" Also note that this program bears a striking resemblance to SynEdit. Another person has made some annotations to h4X0r's screenshot and given them to me; I have posted them here. Once again, I apologize to everyone for the confusion and the problems that have occurred over the past few days.

ok i dun have a Ti-89 and unless i get some extra money i dun plan to get o0ne anytime soon, my 83+ works jsut fine for everything i need it to. But i plan to post my 2 cents anyways. If this is just a prank GET over it. If it isnt a prank then i praise the author, if it is a real screen shot, then judging from the screen shoot good job. i believe that untill it has been proven true or false that everyone stay in the middle of things, and do not judge from what little you have seen.

JUST LEAVE THE GUY ALONE.If this is real just wait and see it come out.If it isnt then we will forget about it and he may release more converted games.I know he can do that much and I STILL BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NO HOAX.but if it is I would like to assemble a group of programmmers who will make sure this comes true.And h4x0r if u are out there and it is fake then you can join to help clear your name.I will wait a while before I start taking members.I STILL BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NO HOAX.but if i find this is I will do this.I feel sick of the mockery you people have made on h4x0r.If this is just against h4x0rs name I have this to say "you call yourself human beings.I mean it hurts to be riduculed".I SITLL BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NO HOAX.

I tried this. It looks like it, but not exactly so...the top buldge is a bit too bulged out. Good try, though.

By the way, how did you figure it out?
