Event id #2526 : Intro Creation Competition 2016
Sorry for skipping this event last year, but life is life and I simply would not have had the time to host this event in a proper way.
So finally X 2016 is over and the big productions are out. So maybe you are in the mood for a smaller project.
Competition runs from November 1st, 2016, until January 3rd, 2017. So you have a full 2 months to deliver your creations. This should be enough for an intro.
Please use this thread for questions, discussion and everything else concerning this competition.
THE RULES (same as in 2014, worked very well):
- Has to work on a plain stock C64 (PAL standard) without any extensions.
- Has to be a one-part intro. Fade-ins and fade-outs are OK.
- Has to contain at least one Logo at whatever size you like.
- Has to contain a changing or moving text message (e.g. scrolling text, different lines fading in & out, etc.)
- Has to contain music (not just a humming sound, please).
- Maximum RAM usage is $4000 bytes at one block, at whatever location you like. Screen RAM counts as used memory. Exclusions are system addresses like VIC (inkl. Color RAM), SID, CIA, Stack, Zero-page, IRQ vectors.
- Has to be interruptable any time by pressing SPACE-key (exception are fade-in and fade-out).
- Graphics, charsets and music do not need to be exclusive, but the code should be! So no reuse of existing code with just exchanged graphics and music.
- Intros may not have been used before entering the competition.
- Entries must be handed in as executable format startable with RUN (.prg or embedded in .t64 or .d64).
- Max. 3 entries per participant. Entries might be taken back from the compo until deadline. That means if you want to remove one of your works from the compo to make space for another entry from you, this can be done until deadline.
Deadline for entry submission is January 3rd, 2017 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm) CET.
Voting closes at Sunday January 8th, 2017 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm) CET.
Voting platform is CSDb (with all disadvantages it may have), therefore entries have to be posted here.
Entries will be ranked by weighted average of CSDb votes. Entries with the same weighted average are ranked by their percentages of 10s, 9s, etc.
No prices to win, just the fame. May the best creation win! |

Too late for a DOTY with less than two months left of the year I think, since DOTYs (or DOTIEs?) tend to get less entries that each take longer to produce. But I might be a bit biased since I have an entry ready which complies with the usual ICC rules, and which it would be nice to release this year because it kinda celebrates an anniversary. |

@Oswald, I don't know if with your smile at the end you are ironic or what, but I like the idea!! basically it's similar to ICC, without one rule: memory limits!
oh, btw... here's my smile: :) |

not ironic, I think it could be fun for coders and for the scene. A lot of guys could release something they are sitting on, because waiting for more parts for a demo, or too lazy to link, etc. Also some other guys would do a new fx for the same reasons. |

not having to link it together with intro, and absolute freedom (only rule would be one file loadable with basic), plus there will be a best one of the parts because of voting/compo ? |

all what Oswald said, plus you can upload your entry when it's ready (b4 the deadline) instead of keeping it secret till DOTY is finished, and we trust in CSDb's voting system.

Oswald + others, if I may help count on me! but I suggest to wait for some feedback first. I mean: perhaps it's just Oswald and me who like the idea?! :) also if we do a DemoPart Creation Compo now there won't be any ICC2017. Will that make people with an intro ready mad? (hello Cruzer) :) |

@ZeSmasher: No, I'll just organize an ICC anyway, and if I'm the only one competing it also means I'm pretty certain I'll win it. :) |
