Event id #2757 : Intro Creation Competition 2018
Preface: Please use this thread for questions, discussion and everything else concerning this competition.
After ChristopherJam had the chance to run a similar compo last year, this year I am back with the known ruleset, with only slight change.
Runnning the competition after X party turned out to be a great timeframe, so I stay there.
Competition runs from November 5th, 2018, until January 6th, 2019. So you have a full 2 months to deliver your creations. This should be enough for an intro.
THE RULES:
Your intro...
- has to work on a plain stock C64 (PAL standard) without any extensions.
- has to be a one-part intro. Short 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).
- has a maximum RAM footprint of $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. This means RAM besides chosen $4000 bytes area and exceptions has to be the same before and after running the intro. What happens during runtime is up to you.
- has to be interruptable any time by pressing SPACE-key (exception are short fade-in and fade-out).
- does not need to have exclusive graphics, charsets or music. But the code should be exclusive, so reuse of existing code with just exchanged graphics and music is not allowed.
- has not been publicly used before entering the competition.
- has to be handed in as executable format startable with RUN (.prg or embedded in .t64 or .d64).
Maximum 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 Sunday January 6th, 2019 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm) CET.
Voting closes at Sunday January 13th, 2019 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! |

Yep. Deadline for new entries is over.
Because I just checked all entries now, I notified the ones with invalid memory layout and gave them until midnight today to fix. |

Thumbs up for not extending the deadline. Extending deadlines in the final hours is a slap in the face of everybody who managed to make it in time, especially when you already have an amazing turnout of both quantity AND quality in the competition. Great work everybody. |

After the compo and all the entries having their place set will there be a disk with all the entries and some selector ? (Demo of the year style). I volunteer for helping out with such disk. |

I planned to do a collection like in the previous years. The selector is the same and turned out to be simple but convenient.
You can help with an intro for it. Seems not to be a size limit this time because from the amount of entries it will be 3 disksides this time (2016 I managed to squeeze them onto 2 sides with 0 blocks free each. Will not work this time with 10 entries more). There will also be a d81 image without diskchange. |

Some of the entries are not exomized. Would you pack them ? |

This seems counter-intuitive to me... rules should be rules with no exceptions IMO... if they're not, they're open to abuse and favouritism. Teams should QA their own releases, it shouldn't be up to the community to let entrants know that they've failed a criteria before the deadline.
I say this without knowing whether one of the G*P entries failed on the memory restriction or not.
There might be an entrant out there that didn't submit on time, but was minutes away from doing so, because their QA department found that they'd gone a single byte over the restriction ... it's unlikely - but if it happened, it wouldn't seem fair that they didn't enter just because they properly QA'd their intro. |

I already prepared the entries for slideshow while validating them. They will be level-packed with Exomizer and fast-loaded with Fload 2.1 from GRG for good compatibility to a lot of drivetypes.
Check ICC 2016 Results Collection as example. |
