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 :) |

Quoting Funguspeople would surely begin to exploit it and just make demos in flash or fake things in other ways where it cannot be verified to run on real hardware.
To give you a helping hand with reading comprehension skills:
Quoting Jammer The Helping HandTHE ORGS DO ALL RECORDING from delivered entries at party place
As Burglar has already stated no prerecording will take place, all above is not valid anyway and I'm perfecly fine with that. Your dumb, delayed statement was just unnecessary - I hope you realize that.
Apologies, Burglar, for trashing on my side in your merit thread. I won't go any further ;) Peace and cheers! |

Jammer - Yes your delayed statement wasn't dumb at all, NOPE. Now fuck off.
Burglar - sorry m8, I shall cease and desist. |

we are still in winter, so open the door and chill down men :)
my idea for the compo (already said, but perhaps it got lost): intro compo! 60" max each entry... |

Quote: pffft... back then we had demos with ugly decrunch screens, flashing etc (One Year Camelot 3) and now the sissy scene cant even accept disk selector menus popping up in a compo...
Yes, but those decrunch screens and flashing and whatnot are part of the demo. A menu to swap disk images is not.
I can accept it, whatever. It's all fine, but it's not my personal preference. (: |

Dear Princess Knoeki,
would you mind changing your username? It kills the layout on smaller devices, thank you :) |

Oh so crashing demos and not showing them again is part of the fun? Yeah that's really sooo cool. Especially for the creatives who spent all the days and nights making them, and who also spent the cash to travel to the party.
The point of creating and showing demos is to admire all the works of art and beauty that is actually possible on the old hardware, not seing them crash. Getting kicks out of a crashing demo is like getting kicks out of smashing sandcastles. To pick up on the live band analogy: It would be like cancelling the rest of a band's performance in case of a technical problem.
So yes, I think prerecording is a very valid way to do it.
To get back on topic, I'd love a 2SID compo, too. :) |

Actually you're saying that's better to prerecord the whole live and show a video to avoid tech problems or errors during live execution.
The only correct thing to do is to test before actual show, or bring your own hw where you know it works. |

Yes that's exactly what I'm saying, because it's not that a demo is different every time, as in a human live performance.
There is no actual visual or audible difference in replaying the program on a compo machine and replaying a 1:1 recording of the program from a compo machine.
The only difference would be in case of a technical failure, and I don't see where that would ever be beneficial. |

It becomes a major feature of you despise recordings for religious reasons :) |

There is no argument against religion. I rest my case. |
