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 :) |

Quote:4k graphics
would be pretty much flooded by HiRes and PETSCII plus maybe a few MC charset piccies. don't really think that makes sense, rather only extract PETSCII and leave rest of gfx in gfx compo |

Quote: "really the only reason why it can work without at X is that there is nothing but C64s connected to the projector."
Fuvesi made some nice switch-boxes for Arok party to solve this problem. As I remember it had analog switches for selecting the video/audio source without interruption. But there was a lot more stuff to record/stream the compos and everything else.
"Honestly I would love to see some love for a generic 8-bit C= compo (Vic20, Plus/4, C128), but I get that might be a bit too much of a hassle (:"
and
"how about wild compo for any C= (8 bit!) machine with any extension ? participant must support HW if organizers dont have it ( should contact beforehand)"
We organize such a 8-bit party every summer, also this year. Why push it onto X when it's clearly not in it's profile? And we accept remote entries too, but then of course it was only for the fame.
OH! Now I get what you mean. Yeah. Might be a bunch of hassle to swap machines I guess, esp during the same compo. :/ |

make place for 2 machines, swap in 1 while the other place is playing.
- profit. |

Riverwash orgs solved it in different way - all prods (for different platforms) were prerecorded from real machines and played back as video with lossless compression. Practical during very competitions, however, some time is needed, of course, for prerecodring and every production delivered last minute is a curse of horrible delay. |

@jammer?
are you for real?
Breakpoint orgs did it 10 years ago. Revision orgs do it too...
but i agree it's a good routine to have it recorded before the combo. |

What's your problem, m8? :) I haven't attended those parties but I attended recent Riverwash thus I speak about it only. Comment is still valid, considering it's not a regular routine at X and, moreover, nobody has mentioned it earlier in this thread. |

i think a seperate compo for people who live a long way off would be fair.
also a real paint compo, where a fave c64 pic is chosen and all entrants must paint the best real pic they can!!
that would be awesome and then one of the compo winners would receive the paintings as a prize!! |
