C64 Double Screen Compo 2013
Remember this little graphic competition with double-sized pictures that happened two years ago? Think it is a good time for a second attempt. Keeping some requests in mind the rules changed in some cases. More freedom for the graphic artist and coders, but also - as requested - more transparency in case of using references and copies. And - for the first time - a theme.
Compo organizers are Enthusi and I (Veto) - for any questions please contact us per PM. The compo itself will be featured by c64pixels.com and Artcity. Deadline is March 31st 2013.
Okay then, people. Time to start. Here are the rules...
GRAPHICIANS
Theme is water in a wide range of definition: Maybe as part of a landscape, something surreal, raindrops, animals swimming in a river, arrangements with geometric bodies, a person drinking something, a liquid sculpture, a deep sea motive,...
Water doesnt need to be the only subject but should be part of picture front and shown in pure liquid state.
You can use any graphic mode you like, but please note the used format with your entry. In case of a custom format (eg mixing up FLI with custom sprites), please add a short description.
Wired stuff and compositions are allowed, but you have to accept that all originals will be shown to public with your entry, including an 1:1 check as animated gif. You are asked to provide any originals along with your entry submission.
Each entry must be executable with a mere RUN after load. The overall size of the gfx has to be two screens, in whatever arrangement. Scrolling is desired. Interlace does not count etc. You get the idea.
CODERS
This competition is for graphic artists but it is also some kind of mini-demo-compo.
Feel free to play with the idea of using a two screen size gfx. Add effects, create an graphics editor, do interactive stuff.
Minimum requirement is a picture scroller. So please include an option to disable all effects, animations and music (eg using space bar). Viewers should be able to watch the picture without diversity.
SUBMISSIONS
Please send your entry to following email address.
veto [@] c64pixels.spamsuxx.com
And - please - do not submit your entry on csdb before deadline.All pictures are shown on Artcity and the c64pixels.com members area during the compo. The d64-files will be released right after deadline.
VOTING AND PRICES
Like the first Double Screen Compo the best graphic will be chosen by email votes. More details will follow after deadline. The winner will get a personal lasered glass trophy (check out the photo).
For coders there is an award for most interesting approach selected by the c64pixels staff plus one guest juror. Which means this price is not just connected to technical excellence. Great design ideas might be a reason, something really useful or whatever innovative. Remember that online charmode editor by Digger he created for his entry the last DSC :) Prize is also a lasered glass trophy.

Quoting DeaksBut a serious suggestion: Maybe the deadline can be extended a week or two?
yes. this is possible for sure, but there should be a reason (also happened during the first 2sc). if you are working on a picture and need more time to finish just ask. |

Quoting Burglarso, why not make some webthing that autoconverts doublescreen png to a d64 or prg? shouldn't be too hard really I've made a piece of asm code/script that does that, and it's available on the web. If it's too hard to install KickAss I can offer to do the compilation as well. A webthing would be a good idea though. |

thx Spider...
so its me against JSL :)
I'm voting against extending the deadline ! :))
I really like the check.gif, I didn't realize I was so close to the original. I also send workstages to Veto so I can prove that I didn't draw over the original and I really put every pixel in Hermires 1.25 (A great tool to draw Hires !!) myself.
edit: and btw. I used Cruzer's asm to display the gfx :) |

I guess the water-theme is quite forgiving looking at xIII's (great) pic. Thats great because my idea does "include" water but isn't really theamed on that subject. Would that be ok? |

Redcrab: check the rules. there is also an example mentioned like "drinking water" and it should be part of the front. this is why things like a bucket with water are accepted. no need for water as main subject, but it should be there.
what will not be accepted are motives like landscape scenes with a river somewhere in the background, a sea miles away, fog, steam, ice or by indicated stuff like clouds or rainbows. |

xIII: imo the check.gif proves that you pixeled the pic yourself and did not use a scan :)
btw the deadline will not be automatically extended. this will only happen if somebody is telling enthusi or me that he is actually working on a pic and needs some more time (and proves it by showing a current workstage). too few entries are no reason. would be a shame though, because the voting will be the same "select your favourites" type like the last 2sc. and this gets more interesting the more entries exist. |
