What is Onefile Demo, what is Graphics...

I recently started to go through a lot of art on here to put on my SD card for enjoyment on real hardware purposes.

Then I came across Industrial Dawn which is just a picture with music. I don't see anything else going on. (That said, it is really nice, both music and pic).

It is entered as One-File Demo, while a lot of pictures with music (could link a whole bunch by Mermaid for example, but also loads others), which are just entered as Graphics.

I guess there is no super easy way to draw a line here. Any thoughts?

IMO, demo would include at least some kind of effect, or a scroller maybe. But then people had a discussion about this when I released my Headache pic in the gfx compo at X'10.

the original meaning of "dentro" is like "preview for a demo that is yet to come"

So this definition is very different from what Brush was thinking about making this "first dentro in C64 history".

somehow i dont get what the problem is with this at all. "prg file that can be run and shows a still picture" is pretty clear to me.


^^ yes, this.

Nice read! Who cares what category things is put into; we still miss those hash-tags for easier browsing.
I'm perfectly fine with whatever comes out from this scene, regardless the heavily debated label it gets ;D

@Groepaz, i always thought a Dentro was a mini demo/intro that's wasn't big enough to be classed as a full demo.

does not compute. those "dentros" are typically bigger than regular onefile demos (they typically have more than one part)

I also thought dentro was what Fatfrost said. Let's keep that weird definition out of this discussion then. It's not like we lack input right now ;)
