X2016 Competitions: Your Input Wanted!
The 28th of october is still far away but getting closer and closer. The organizers have been getting busy and are now well underway to get everything sorted out for another smashing X!
Since entry delivery and running the compos at X14 went quite smooth and voting is now done in realtime, we believe we may have room for 1 or 2 more (small/fun) c64 competitions. Like a PETSCII compo or a 4k compo, or maybe you guys have an idea?
Or perhaps you think the straightforward demo/music/gfx compos are enough.
Let us know :) |

No greater death awaits us than dying in battle by the hands of the ghost in our machine :D |

Prerecording equipment can have hiccups too. (It even happened to the Revision organisers.) I don't think it would really solve more issues that it could possibly cause for the 'X' party. |

No problem about crashing demos, there were backup solutions or people to blame afterwards :-D Especially the one who did the loader will shit his pants at each party :-D So serving a crash is already painful, no need to skip the demo if things can be repaired. Next time i will test things however on the compo machine :-D |

No preliminary access to the compo machine(s) for anybody except the International Karaoke singers and IK+ players! Oh, and extend those compos tremendously? Ridiculous to have 1-2 hrs spare time to the next compo EVEN after calling in some victims from the yard and sleeping houses - finals over after just minutes? ;/ |

+1 PETSCII
(You could even have a "one hour PETSCII compo" held live at the party. Starting with the c64 boot screen, create a masterpiece in an hour or less...or some thing like that.) |

PETSCII specific gfx compo is a great idea.
C0: how about an Archon compo? :D |

Splitting one-filers from the rest would be a bad idea.
They should all be in the same compo, one demo compo. Just that the one-filer with the highest votes will win a one-file award and rank.
I think that can encourage some great small releases that might otherwise have been held back.
Agree with CRT
Good idea with the one-file thing...
I think Oneder 2 can even rank #1 in the maincompo :) |

+1 One demo compo, but special ranks for one-filers
+1 Use real 1541 or some other way to flip disks. That 1541U menu screen is just awful sight, especially because flip disk parts are often awesome |

It has been suggested to Gideon to add functionality for swapping disk images on the 1541Ultimate by poking custom registers, and he's positive to that idea. Let's hope it makes it into a firmware update before long. |
