Event id #2286 : Intro Creation Competition 2014
After the success of last year's Intro Creation Competion, I want to continue and maybe we can even top last year.
After the big X party and while it is getting colder outside, you may have some sparetime to create something for it. ;)
Competition runs from October 28th until December 27th, 2014. So you have 2 months to deliver your creations. This should be enough for an intro.
As comment editing is still disabled, please use this thread for questions, discussion and everything else concerning this competition.
THE RULES:
- Has to work on a plain stock C64 (PAL standard) without any extensions.
- Has to be a one-part intro. Fade-ins and fade-outs are OK.
- Has to contain at least one Logo at whatever size you like.
- Has to contain a changing or moving text message (e.g. scrolling text, different lines fading in & out, etc.)
- Has to contain music (not just a humming sound, please).
- Maximum RAM usage is $4000 bytes at one block, at whatever location you like. Screen RAM counts as used memory. Exclusions are system addresses like VIC (inkl. Color RAM), SID, CIA, Stack, Zero-page, IRQ vectors.
- Has to be interruptable any time by pressing SPACE-key (exception are fade-in and fade-out).
- Graphics, charsets and music do not need to be exclusive, but the code should be! So no reuse of existing code with just exchanged graphics and music.
- Intros may not have been used before entering the competition.
- Entries must be handed in as executable format startable with RUN (.prg or embedded in .t64 or .d64).
- Max. 3 entries per participant. Entries might be taken back from the compo until deadline. That means if you want to remove one of your works from the compo to make space for another entry from you, this can be done until deadline.
Deadline for entry submission is December 27th, 2014 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm) CET.
Voting closes one week later at January 3rd, 2015 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm) CET.
Voting platform is CSDb (with all disadvantages it may have), therefore entries have to be posted here.
Entries will be ranked by weighted average of CSDb votes. Entries with the same weighted average are ranked by their percentages of 10s, 9s, etc.
No prices to win, just the fame. May the best creation win. |

Time is up! A damn amazing amount of 51 valid intros made it into the compo!
Thanx people, this is fucking awesome!
Now everybody is responsible that we get a fair ranking by voting for all entries. Only a high amount of individual votes guarantees a rather fair result, because it makes single strategic up- or downvoting ineffective!
Voting closes at January 3rd, 2015 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm) CET.
VOTE! VOTE VOTE! |

Guess I voted on all the intros. Hope I didn't miss any fake/crap entry that deserves anonymous upvoting :-P |

Nice to see that several people already voted. Lowest amount of votes is 10 now. Hopefully this will go above 20-25 per entry until voting deadline to get a good final ranking. |

Did vote for every entry.. Knowing how insanely corrupt CSDB voting is I did the right thing: Downloaded every single entry, ran them all on real hardware several times, sorted them and placed votes in the scale from 4 to 10 not knowing current averages.
Angel of Death, you did get my upvote. You have a nice intro/reader, both pretty and I imagine practical, should be higher than the current 6.1 imo.
I'm such a good guy, pretty and humble too.. ;-) Happy new year! |

CRT shows the way and should be awarded the status of "Elite Voter".
Btw, vote for the CML entries in all the charts, and spread them to all your contacts! |
