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? |

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

Quoting TheRykModfying background does not change look of characters/tiles.
Switching to MC does not modify charset, only reads it different - looks shouldn't matter at all. Imho not quite an argument ;) |

Quoting JackAsserLike PETSCII-fli? Brings to mind the original PET-FLI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktUguF1TnJk - almost indistinguishable from actual bitmap graphics. Almost. :) |

I've actually been working on a PETSCFLII for a couple of days now... (:
It's a fun format with all the drawbacks of PETSCII and FLI combined. |

quoting ze rules
Quote:
a) Plain PETSCII (= main competition C64 Graphics)
"Plain" in my definition means an executable .PRG file displaying 1000 bytes screen RAM using CBM Character-ROM font and 1000
nibbles color RAM, nothing else, no ECM, no sprites, no interlace effects, no splits, no animation, no scrolling, no open borders,
no hankypanky of any sort. ...
b) WILD PETSCII (= side competition C64 Wild):
Anthing using the C64 Character ROM (<- only rule here) that violates any of the rules above,
so you can use border effects, sprites, ECM, do an animation of several frames, scrolling... or whatever you like :)
ECM's explicitly in WiLD, to me it does not make sense to treat MC differently, it's sort of hankypanky, so it's WiLD ;) |

So rules should explicitly exclude $d020/$d021 as well because it violates file scheme ;) |

maybe they should, but they do quite the opposite :P
Quote:Background and screen color ($d020/$d021) can be picked by competitors, black is beautiful, though
So black is recommended, nothing more, nothing less.
No one said it's a BBS gfx compo.
However, we've had great art picking other values, e.g. $0C, for $d021 last time.
Perhaps we should have another philosophical debate before there's any 20?? compo. ;)
I see your points and read any sort of suggestion/criticism with interest, but this time, I feel it's better to defend the rules as they were set for the remaining 48+something hours. |

yeah, let's stop chatting about the rules. if something must be changed/adjusted it will be in next petscii compo, not this one.
I'm feeling somehow guilty: I cracked Jammer's music compo with my midi tune, and I caused some troubles in ZeRyk's petscii one. if someone is thinking about organizing a new CSDb compo, well... good luck! :) |
