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?

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! :)

have 2 pics done, but using C64 ASCII Art Editor
c64 ascii art editor (pc) and there isn't really a straight forward export function. e.g. I tried putting loading the file into a seq editor.

both are made in layers, I could submit and upload the c64 file later I guess.

anyone else use this editor ? TIA

You have to maintain your cracker reputation so it's a way to go! :D

OK, time's up.

Thx 2 all competitors, the mere amount and quality of entries is an honour and makes me and probably many other PETSCII gourmets happy!

Thx also 2 all posters in this thread and motivating commenters in the entries.

Was hoping to get sth more than one entry by myself done, as I've got a few days off - but alas, it wasn't meant to be.

I'm off ripping and getting this compo's voting disk done, might take a few days, though, I'll keep you posted, no worries, voting's gonna be open for some 10 days after the tool is out. Gonna be pretty much similar procedure as 2013.

Cheers

"Self-votings will be cleared from the calculation automatically" - nice and elegant way of solving any drama about selfvoting.

Pfew, the crack intro music compo is free of such corruption.
