Quote: Isn't ghostbyte limited to top/bottom border then in that case? :D What if sprites overlap a few pixels with visible area? :P
Yep regarding ghost byre. Second: U’re out |

Quote: If D011 = $00-0f, though, then there is no screen, right..? In which case the whole 408x273px becomes “border”..? I assume that’s not allowed..?
Not allowed |

Quoting JackAsserNot allowed
But disabling screen is not disallowed in general if sprites know their place? ;) |

Why not be sneaky and add
* MAINSCREEN can be in any, ONE color ONLY (NOT the same as the border color)

rules proposal: only plasmas allowed.
In all seriousness - reading the thread, can you clarify which of these is true:
1. The ESCOS trick to have the full screen without badlines is not allowed.
2. The ESCOS trick to have the full screen without badlines is allowed as long as you don't leave what would normally be the border with them.
The trade off is going to be between losing the rastertime to badlines so you can have the ghostbyte or getting the extra rastertime for just sprites, then? Or am I mistaking the rules? |

You can have badlines if you like, but why?!! The graphics you emit must be the same all over anyway. The net result should be a big blob of single, non changing color in the middle (40/38 x 25/24).
And taking Groepaz’ advice:
RULE ADDENDUM: center area must be of a different color than the border. I can imagine timing can be tricky so a few lines or pixels extra or less of the center area is ok. But it should by no mistake look like the regular border. |

Quote: For clarity, ghostbyte is allowed (just hide it in the main area), especially for c128 releases!
So c128 is also allowed?
The executable is one file, or multi loading also possible?
It doesn't have to be one fx only?
What's the upper limit of REU size? Preloading it with a data file is ok before run? |

As much as I like the idea, there's too much compos at the same time IMHO. It wouldn't really hurt anyone or anything if that one would start after the other ones finish. Which would also make sure there's enough attention of the spectators for all of them. |
