Matt Gray competition
Yes, you read good!
Matt Gray has organize a SID Competition for his Reformation project (http://goo.gl/fSsE3J)!
Here his annunce on Remix64:
----
Do you fancy programming SID music old-school style? Do you fancy a good old fashioned competition?
I recently launched a Kickstarter to fund a double album of CD remakes and a Last Ninja 2 remake CD.
When the total hit £40,000, I promised to create six new SIDs in my old Dominator driver: imaginary sequels to my old SIDs, such as "Dominator 2" and "Last Ninja 2 - The Lost Level".
While we were retrieving the driver from my work disks, I thought it would be cool to release the source to one of my drivers so that SID composers would have a go at composing in it.
So, here's "Dominator, tune 6". It contains an assembler file in ASCII which will compile in the 64TASS cross-assembler (also included in the ZIP).
All you have to do is compose your own tune in this driver and submit it to chris@c64audio.com by 31st March 2015 to enter the competition.
Of course, if you don't feel like entering, you can still use my driver under the Creative Commons licence (remix, attribution, non-commercial). It's my gift to the community.
Myself, Martin Galway, Rob Hubbard, Fred Gray, Ben Daglish and Martin Galway all typed their tunes directly into their assembler. Now you can do the same!
My Dominator Subtune 6 Source Code ZIP (with 64Tass): http://www.remix64.com/services/files/matt-gray-dom6-public-sou..
What do I win?
The top ten submitted pieces will be featured in a special digital download released to coincide with the completion of the Reformation project. The composer of the entry that I likes the most will get a VIP invitation to the Reformation launch party, and meet me.
But, remember you can use this source code without entering the competition.
Rules
Entry must be written in my driver and submitted as ASCII source code which will compile and run in the 64TASS cross-assembler
Modifications to my code are permitted to enable extra facilities, but the code must remain largely based on my work
By submitting your tune, you grant me a free, non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable right to distribute it on any existing digital download platform
You are free to make available, publicise or otherwise use your tune as normal in accordance with the CC licence, in addition to submitting it to the competition.
Closing date is 31st March 2015, but extensions may be announced depending on circumstances.
More rules may be added later as circumstances deem necessary. Please keep an eye on this page periodically.
Have fun! - Matt Gray, Reformation Project, 26 November 2014 |

this would be a lot more tempting if the source also came with some comments and instructions... its easier to just write a complete new player than finding out how this one works exactly. |

What groep said.
That .asm is quite unusable without getting some documentation. |

matt gray compo sounds great, but with zero documentation... (well, it does say "drum table" somewhere)
it's just a re-ass of a binary.
matt should allow other players and allow composers to remix any of his sids. that would be totally awesome :) |

I don't get one thing. We have some pointers to certain data labeled quite clearly what thing is going to happen etc. But then we fill song data with bytes instead. I can't spot the connection between procedures and byte values. |

As if SID composing wasn't hard enough already. :) |

There is plenty of time for anyone to reverse engineer the corelation between routine and data and make a proper editor above that player. I suppose. Does it come with demo-data/tune? |

I like this compo for being different. I think I'll participate. |

in the time needed to do that you'd write a (far) better player from scratch. sure you could reverse it if you'd really bothered, but whats the point really? |
