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 :) |

I think the wild compo thing is a nice idea.
Groepaz, why would we need demo recording, whatever you mean by that, if it is just Actual demos on non-C64 and expanded C64 machines?
Also + for PETSCII compo |

just try to imagine the practical implications. there IS a reason why a lot of the bigger parties record the entries (and even with that it can be a challenge). really the only reason why it can work without at X is that there is nothing but C64s connected to the projector. |

"really the only reason why it can work without at X is that there is nothing but C64s connected to the projector."
Fuvesi made some nice switch-boxes for Arok party to solve this problem. As I remember it had analog switches for selecting the video/audio source without interruption. But there was a lot more stuff to record/stream the compos and everything else.
"Honestly I would love to see some love for a generic 8-bit C= compo (Vic20, Plus/4, C128), but I get that might be a bit too much of a hassle (:"
and
"how about wild compo for any C= (8 bit!) machine with any extension ? participant must support HW if organizers dont have it ( should contact beforehand)"
We organize such a 8-bit party every summer, also this year. Why push it onto X when it's clearly not in it's profile? And we accept remote entries too, but then of course it was only for the fame. |

Quote:4k graphics
would be pretty much flooded by HiRes and PETSCII plus maybe a few MC charset piccies. don't really think that makes sense, rather only extract PETSCII and leave rest of gfx in gfx compo |

OH! Now I get what you mean. Yeah. Might be a bunch of hassle to swap machines I guess, esp during the same compo. :/ |

make place for 2 machines, swap in 1 while the other place is playing.
- profit. |

Riverwash orgs solved it in different way - all prods (for different platforms) were prerecorded from real machines and played back as video with lossless compression. Practical during very competitions, however, some time is needed, of course, for prerecodring and every production delivered last minute is a curse of horrible delay. |
