Quoting rexbeng@chatGPZ, thanks! So, I'm putting this down in moron-graphician words to make sure I'm getting it straight:
In standard multicolor character mode you have one background color ($d021) and two shared colors for all chars ($d022, d023). Then for each character you have two options:
• Either a hires character with one of color 0-7 plus the $d021 background
• Or a multicolor character with one of color 0-7 plus the two shared $d022/23 and the background color
To get a hires character, set color ram to a value between 0-7. To get a multicolor character add 8 to the color you want and set color ram to a value between 8-15. |

I think some people overdo the "CharSet" in the title - which of course intended dispayability of the logo in CharMode. What we actually find daily, are rather fonts than logos in my view.
Bottom Line: More focus on the "Logo" part. I'd appreciate some more creativity, actual pixelwork should be encouraged - applause and ridiculous upvotes (every so-so stuff gets its 10s wtf) for stuff that can be called a logo but is actually some 30 minutes copy&paste job might be rather seen as frustrating for real gfxians considering to participate.
And this is _not_ a statement about use of AI or cross development. You can use these and still have a somewhat cool and less dull output.
Looking 4wd for more REAL logos! |

Things just got interesting/complicated ;p
We have our first non-scener entries :-) .. PRGs for these were supplied - but for now C64GFX only shows the images, there's no PRG/D64 hosting etc.
So you can currently only see them here: https://c64gfx.com/compo/3391
I have no idea whether they automatically qualify for CSDb..?
But, regardless, voting etc will be done over on C64GFX - so the only confusion will come if people wonder why the CSDb chart for the compo doesn't matter jot in this case ;) |

some people got accounts for less :) (IIRC "taking part in a compo" is even mentioned in the rules as a criteria for qualifying for csdb) |

Cool. He tried applying for an account -before- submitting the entries and was rejected... maybe I suggest he create a little more art first and then reapply. He has a page on C64GFX now, anyway. |

Offtopic: How to get or not to get an account has little to do with the compo, but I think, it's alright to tell you:
release -> account
works better than the other way round
want account -> have so much to release! (promises, promises) |

@recent complaints about "no full screen compo"... well, the only way of having this ruled out might have been restricting the whole compo to 40x6 tiles in the first place. rules as they are don't forbid using all of the screen and IMHO Hibiscus as a composition did not fail at all to represent - a logo. |

I don't see how doing what the rules allow is somehow a problem. Not doing it is entirely your fault :) |
