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!

I just made a check through the voting:
- Race is still very close for rank 1.
- Usual amount of self and friendly upvotes.
- Also a few obvious and calculated downvotes, as always.
- The amount of votes per entry varies between 115 and only 22.

Big hooray for all who really voted for all entries!
This compo needs more of you!

Voting is still open until Sunday January 13th, 2019 at 23:59:59 (11:59:59 pm) CET.

Lots and tasty entries this year indeed but, eh...
I just want to point out (as voting is not yet finished) that our intro is one of the few that has some love and attention put into "ending" it.
Can I haz more voties, pleez? ;)

ps.
thanks a lot, however, to the people that did vote already. \o/

Finally, I've finished voting on all the entries (I think). So many quality entries!

Thanks Didi for organising. The rest of you, go upvote GULBdata some more ;)

With this many releases I thought about my voting quality.
Just watching and writing down a number between 1 and 10 can't be it!
So I thought following would be possible:
First run: watching all entries and voting yes/no -->the no's go into 1 point directory
Second run again yes/no --> the no's go into 2 points directory
until 10th run yes/no --> there are no more no's
Now I got all entries sorted in 1st run no (1 point), second run no (2 points) etc.
Could work it out until I catch all 62 entries (if I count right)
But problem: 2 hours left for voting *panic*
OK, I just vote my groupmates 10 and the rest... ok 7 :D
but I could also use our last years voting machine from BCC#12 - should I?

OK, sorry everyone... I think I couldn't vote at least, because I can't be fair to myself here :(
Nerd problems ;)

Oh shit! Stomp Intro and GULBdata both at 9.5. Congrats on keeping the suspense, guys! Maybe if I upvote my own entry and downvote Stomp Intro I could just tip it around. No, must resist. :D

Whoever voted the 4s on Stomp and GulbData short before end, it did not change much by this amount of votes. :p

Results compiled and posted. Will post detailed list later (needs a bit formating).

Congratulations to Stomp Intro for winning first place!
It was a really close race with GULBdata with both entries being rated 9.5 but the winner had a slightly higher percentage of voted 10s (76.0% to 67.5%).

Thanks to all participants for making this a really great competition again!
You make the compo - not me!

Also thanks to all the honest voters who made the cowardous downvotes having very few effect on the result. Every entry had at least 32 votes.
