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 :) |

video recording could make sense at a party with multi platform compos. so organizers don't have to deal with 25 different hardware and hundreds of cables.
But at X... if a demo crashes live at the show it means it could crash on your own c64, so despite all the efforts in making it it also means it's probably not 100% and pre-recording it's just some kind of cheating.
Anyway all this is offtopic: mighty Burglar said we should discuss about 1-2 new compo ideas, not about pre-recording yes/no. |

Prerecording is not that necessary in normal X enviro, true that. I was referring to this mainly because of optional 2SID compo, where at least 4 different configs are taken into account. |

When our demo bugged at datastorm due to bad floppys it was horrible, but at the same time it also added charm in a way... haha... I like X the way it is. |

We're getting older, floppies are getting older, chances of a heart attack from a bad floppy are increasing. \o/ Another argument against pre-recording. |

No greater death awaits us than dying in battle by the hands of the ghost in our machine :D |

Prerecording equipment can have hiccups too. (It even happened to the Revision organisers.) I don't think it would really solve more issues that it could possibly cause for the 'X' party. |

No problem about crashing demos, there were backup solutions or people to blame afterwards :-D Especially the one who did the loader will shit his pants at each party :-D So serving a crash is already painful, no need to skip the demo if things can be repaired. Next time i will test things however on the compo machine :-D |

No preliminary access to the compo machine(s) for anybody except the International Karaoke singers and IK+ players! Oh, and extend those compos tremendously? Ridiculous to have 1-2 hrs spare time to the next compo EVEN after calling in some victims from the yard and sleeping houses - finals over after just minutes? ;/ |

+1 PETSCII
(You could even have a "one hour PETSCII compo" held live at the party. Starting with the c64 boot screen, create a masterpiece in an hour or less...or some thing like that.) |

PETSCII specific gfx compo is a great idea.
C0: how about an Archon compo? :D |
