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 :)

A technical thought regarding PESCII compo:

Would you allow ECM mode (64 chosen PETSCII chars aka custom but still system based charset) to qualify as valid compo entry?

I think that could be really cool, more colors plus being able to mix upper and lower case chars together.

Thoughts?

actually they do, more or less - PETSCII is the set of control codes and characters available for commodore text terminals.

As if graphic artists using plain PETSCII care about terminals and black backgrounds. Personally I'd allow it, just for the sake of creativity.

Personally I don't think 16K or 4K is any point, since we already ARE running on a low-end computer :-). However I think a separation between one-filer and multiload-demos is a good idea. There are already a lot of entries to X, and perhaps this will increase the number of demos in total?

On the more crazy side, perhaps a wild-compo could be arranged, but with the restriction that the hardware (C64-based) should be provided (if customized) and the demo/effect shown in realtime (i.e. no pre-recording). Think about it: several C64's running in sync, huge amount of SIDs, custom target driven by 6502 etc. Just a thought.

edit: and please - no bodypainting compo, at least provide out-of-scene models ;-)..

I like the idea of a single demo part compo. Size doesn't matter ;) meaning 16k or 64k etc..

but then the question is if one file demo can still have multi parts. so I believe the category in that case needs to be set specifically for a single part demo.. meaning one part!.

That doesn't mean you're not allowed to challenge yourself further.

Why wouldn't it? the clue is in the name. It's called a "singlefiler" not a "singleparter".
