X2016 Competitions: Your Input Wanted!
The 28th of october is still far away but getting closer and closer. The organizers have been getting busy and are now well underway to get everything sorted out for another smashing X!
Since entry delivery and running the compos at X14 went quite smooth and voting is now done in realtime, we believe we may have room for 1 or 2 more (small/fun) c64 competitions. Like a PETSCII compo or a 4k compo, or maybe you guys have an idea?
Or perhaps you think the straightforward demo/music/gfx compos are enough.
Let us know :) |

Quote: So, only if explicitly asked to run on a real 1541, because of the awesome flip disk screen, with the risk of crashing and delaying the compo, else it's 1541U? Not that I care, I'm working on a one filer. Looking forward to the 64+ PETSCII entries. :)
Standalone or two computer 1541U still shows flip disk parts, without freezing, just like with a real 1541. |

Quote: The Turbo chameleon takes over the Ram and the CPU via its own core even when connected to the C64.
This opens the possibility of some cheating via activating turbo mode from within the program when required :-) I would guess the testers at the party would somewhat need to either trust the coder(s) or test it on something else before
You can disable turbo feature from TC menu. I just don't remember if in such case you are still enable to re enable it from c64 end. |

you can always reenable it.....
imho compo machine can only ever be a genuine C64 - you cant even trust a C128 (graham will cheat =P) |

Quote: 2sid, and even a unlimited amounts of sids would be fun, like just mount up like 30 sid voices and compose all the way... I would love that... and the petscii also. A more weird one would be a sprite compo - still sprites with plexer and a animation sprite compo, run from c64 without screen on... just sprites (and rasterbars maybe)... suggestions only!
Love the sprite idea! |

Dude.
If we choose to compete at X '16.
Any y'all expect us to submit our intent and what not here at this stage?
I may probably not be of the common main interest. Still, in context I would claim the following:
Nah.
See yah at X, manneken!

Quoting MagerValpPro tip: run 1541U on one C64 with the IEC cable connected to the other C64. You have 6581 and 8580 set up anyway.
Sorry that I dare to visit the offtopic-zone but I must comment on how absolutely "ueber" this pro-tip is: though I'd basically also like to see the demos running live from a real 1541, using 2 C64s as suggested by MagerValp solves (nearly) all issues with such simplicity! True brilliance!!! |

I would suggest a 16K demo compo
1. Enjoyable demo parts such as in DOTY
2. Easy entry level for many demo creators that has no mega demo but still has some smaller stuff to show at X.
3. with 16K you can have propper Gfx and Music.
4. I bet this would attract a lot of entries which would be the main purpose of a compo!
just my 2 cen(t)sors ;) |
