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

Intro is short for introduction, and that implies it's followed by something else. The mentioned area of RAM shall be able to hold the program being introduced. |

First cab's off the ranks - fast work Mayday!
Passes RAM use test with flying colours, so to speak.
I'll mostly just comment on breaches, but I'm watching, and it's good to start on a positive note. |

Fast work yes, but the time is short. So don't expect 50 entries this time. |

Write in English, please. If your English is bad, learn English. I will censor your German. |

There was a question in German, and I responded in a mishmash of duolingo learnings and google translate. Then the cops arrived :D
Anyway, to answer the question, if space is pressed, exit (perhaps reset, or silent black screen.)
Also, just pretend there is a packed game sitting at $2800-$cfff.
During testing I'll put some data there before loading, and will check it is still there after space is pressed.
I'll turn a blind eye while the intro is running.
Do what you like with $d000-$27ff. |
