COMPO: ECM Demoeffect Comp
ECM Mode Demoeffect Competition
*** ECM Mode Demoeffect Competition ***
Competition Rules:
* The Effect must be a one-screener
* For ECM Mode only one Charset with 64 Chars is allowed
* The 64 Char Font is not allowed to be altered at runtime
* Play with your imagination. Maybe use the Petscii font in ECM mode
* Variations of the effect are allowed but it must be the same effect(code)
* Alteration or switching of the font on a per-line basis is not allowed ((linecrunching / etc.) set $d011/d016/d018/vic-bank only in init)) |

Read the rules again. Nothing about sprites in the rules... The 1st who mentioned "his entry" does not use sprites was ZeSmasher. As the rules dont mention sprites they are allowed. |

So a wall of sprites overlay is ok? fine. That changes a lot. |

Nothing has changed. The rules did not state -anything- about sprites. |

Yeah yeah. Silly me thought it was about a plain ECM effect. |

If a wall of sprites for enhancing ECM display is allowed, that changes everything indeed.
So far i thought it is all meant as rendering on a plain ECM frame buffer, nothing else, fixed charset, no raster tricks. (Changing smooth scroll registers per frame seems maybe allowed, maybe not.) |

actually it IS all about an ECM effect rendered to the framebuffer. if the coder decides to add sprites that is OK for me. IF there is a wall of sprites it is YOU in the end who votes for the entries... |

Note to myself: if i ever hold some kind of ECM compo again there will be well defined rules. the idea for this compo was just some weird idea which i did not think through as it seems. |

Yes, CSDb compo rules need to be defined very precisely, as history has shown time and again. :)
(But then that's what you get for inventing entirely arbitrary restrictions on top of given machine restrictions.) |

so why is it a problem if someone invents a nice effect which utilise both ecm and sprites ? I'm waiting :) |
