Event id #2643 : Plain PETSCII Graphics Competition 2017

question for the organizers:
in wild petscii compo you say it's allowed to use ECM. but with ECM only the first 64 chars are useable, so basically only letters and numbers. that sux.
so is it possible to pick up any chars you like from the CBM font and copy them into a new charset in the first 64 positions? or that's against all the rules on Earth?

There's clearly a market for a PETSCII-variant Graphics Mode Invention Competition.

I'll try SWAPSCII/BITMASCII/WHATEVERELSCII next compo. Now enjoy my proof-of-concept of... multicolor petscii: Petscii logo POC

@TheRyk: Thanks for the clarifications, and I guess I could have just read the rules, where it basically says that anything goes. But to please the purists, I have now decided to see if I can do something with the ROM charset as it is.

Imho Smasher's logo is as pure as hires PETSCII using nonzero $d021 and should be treated equally with the rest, being inside the compo. Moreover it's great proof of concept and looks cool. What's the big difference between modifying $d021, $d022 and $d023? Charset is unchanged ;)

Modfying background does not change look of characters/tiles.
Let me assure everyone I'm totally as enthusiastic about Zmasher's proof of concept as everyone else.
But what's so bad about winning WiLD compo instead of plain? :P

Plain PETSCII in ECM mode should get teh same treatment. Let's positively discriminate all modes, then.

Switching to MC does not modify charset, only reads it different - looks shouldn't matter at all. Imho not quite an argument ;)
