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)) |

Beat me to it. I was going to launch the CSDb Compo Compo but realized that I'm too lazy. The most outlandish, while still feasible, rules win. |

And the rules for that compo must of course also be super confusing and change continuously. :D |

Bring it on! Then I can release my useless "three vertical border scrollers" routine :-) |

I was referring to the difference between ECM and other modes =) |

"as long as $d016, $d018, $d011 and Vic-Bank stays untouched per frame"
How about $D056, $D0D8, $D2D1? :-)
Also.. when you says "untouched per frame".. is that "they can be changed each frame - but not within the frame".. or that they can only be set once at the start of the demo..? |

Re: Square Booze .. "Reading the rules more carefully now this entry should probably be disqualified since I do change $d016 per frame. Street Tuff didn't explicitly allow touching scroll registers and he explicitly disallowed touching $d016 except on init. Groepaz raised the question but was unanswered."
IMO, D016 and D011 changes should surely be allowed - so long as they're only used for smooth scrolling and done once per frame?
With a month to go, I'd imagine most would be ok with this rule being clarified... |

I would just leave it in the compo and let Street Tuff sort it all out. |

"set $d011/d016/d018/vic-bank only in init" - pretty clear to me. |
