Event id #2655 : 8K Intro Competition 2017

Inspired in part by Didi's past intro creation competitions (many thankings for those!),
have a four week lightning competition to help you survive the holiday season

- single file one part intro (fade in/out acceptable)
- has a logo+changing text+music
- file size of at most 8192 bytes, including load address (so, 8190 bytes of data).
- no more than 5 seconds decrunch/precalculation time.
- once page is running, exits within 5 seconds of pressing space (should be obviously fading out)
- don't trash any RAM from $2800 to $cfff inclusive (unless you restore it on exit).

- entries uploaded to csdb as runnable .prg, optionally embedded in .d64,
- max three per participant, withdrawals allowed, older entries will be displaced if you've too many.
- competition start: 8th December
- entry deadline: 5th of January, 14:00 (2pm) UTC
- voting deadline: 12th of January, 14:00 (2pm) UTC
- entries will be ranked by CSDb rating, including private votes.
- entries with the same weighted average will be ranked by their percentages of 10s, 9s, etc.

No prizes, just fame :)


Thankings to Jeanette, Krill, Groepaz, and various ICC2016 commenters for helping me to crystallise plans.
Any errors in judgement all my own - I've ignored a lot of good advice :D

Well deserved winner. Congrats to Oxyron.

The constraints were interesting this year. Looking forward to next year's discussion and excuses. :)

Bobby Fischer became the world chess champion in the '70s; you all know the "game of the century" USA vs URSS back then. At #1 he stopped playing, lost interest in the game, disappeared for decades...
So 4th place in 8k intro compo is an excellent rank, and it motivates me to do better. any higher position would only increase the risk for me to follow Bobby's way, so downvoters don't quit your job if you love me... :)

Thanks for organizing Christopher. That intro-compo was big fun, as always. And I liked the challenging rule-set. Only a bit sad, that there were not so many entries like in the last years.
