Event id #2636 : Crack Intro Music Competition 2017

After the geat success in 2013, the time has come for another Crack Intro Music Competition!

Several people have asked for it and finally it happens.

This time I have a skilled co-organizer with Jammer.

Competition runs from September 29, 2017, until October 29, 2017. So you have a full month to deliver your creations.

Please use this thread for questions, discussion and everything else concerning this competition.

THE RULES (same as in 2013, worked very well):
- max. playtime 1:00 min. (PAL playing speed), then repeat or fade.
- max. size: $1000 bytes (preferably located in memory at $1000-$2000)
- single speed only
- no SID model preference (should sound good on all SID models)
- must be handed in as executable format .sid or .prg (might be embedded in .t64 or .d64)
- no graphics or even intro-like presentation is allowed to be included.
- Productions using the music might be released after the voting deadline. The voting should be focused on the music itself.
- the participating musics may not have been released or used in a public production before.
- multiple entries per musician allowed.

Deadline for entry submission is October 29, 2017 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
Voting closes one week later at November 6, 2017 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm).
Voting platform is CSDb (with all disadvantages it may have), therefore entries have to be posted here.
Entries will be ranked by weighted average of CSDb votes. Entries with the same weighted average are ranked by their percentages of 10s, 9s, etc.

No prices to win, just the fame. May the best creation win!

Quote: care to enlighten me why my latest entry 'shit olympics' got removed, not just from the compo, but from the database, even?

See Molochs last oneliner. I guess they are removing now releases without prg file...

CSDb requires an executable, compo rules don't override that requirement. Take the extra two minutes and convert your .sid file to a .prg before uploading.

We'll take care of it and I get the policy but, please, don't destroy the compo. If tunes already acquired votes and comments, you distort the results. Compo is based entirely on csdb as a platform hence tunes and votes are not backed up anywhere. And, please, restore Randall's latest entry and whatever compo tunes you've hidden by a chance. Prgs will be added for sure. Thanks.

feel free to remove any tunes by me from the compo if you think it's too much.


I see no reason in punishing you for creativity xD

Add executables to begin with, as priority #1 file - problem solved. .sid file is just a bonus, that should be deleted the day HVSC mirrors it.

And guys: take screenshots, and make them look good. I'm dead tired making executables and making screenshots for lazy people.

Sure, will do. On the other hand, I do my own screenshots with palette carefuly prepared according to moderately saturated Colodore scheme (not more saturated than usual 1802 monitor) and see from time to time, someone replaces it with bland old Pepto screenshot :P

I meant screenshots with artefacts lite CRT emulation, or stuff like that. :)

Worst thing is that it's more and more common with no screenshot at all. Like they count on someone else doing that for them.

Because helpful admins in fact do that for everyone. And even if screenshots are uploaded, admins make better ones. So user thinks - fuck it, let them do it properly. It's a bit like thinking of overly caring mother - why doesn't my kid clean up after himself or isn't enough self-reliant. If she only knew the real answer :P Rightie? :D

I suggest changing default no-screenshot gif into 'PLEASE UPLOAD FUCKING SCREENSHOT' or dirty cock pic to put uploader into shame.
