* Borders can of course be removed
* No REU allowed

What do you mean with path finding Compo? Robovac cleaner Compo? Given some obstacles this could be quite fun.

random shit in screenmem by framework. Or even an actual maze algo.
path and wall characters, whatever.
randomly set start + end (and/or set by maze algo already).
Then jsr MYAWESOMECODE
output: 3rd character for path on screen + length of path + time it took.
Your classic set up for an A* algo if you wish.
But even A* in itself has quite different approaches of implementation:
- open/close nodes
- iterative layering blabla

And the always-stay-right-approach might actually be considerably smaller codewise :)

this sounds more like a Shallan monthly coding challenge than a CSDB compo.

Beat HCL's 48 lines sideborder FPP scroller. But each entry is only allowed to beat the previous entry with 1 line, to maximize the number of entries. Whoever gets the most lines (probably 56) wins.

Reading all that, what about a "most original effect" compo, with similar restrictions to demo or onefiler if you will. =)

"no $d011" compo would be funny. Do whatever you want to do, but you can not write or read $d011 (nor its mirrors, smartass).

What stops you from using sprites? Or doing raster effects?

or 4x4 chunky mode only. No sprites, no raster bars just the "bitmap"

You can do a Hires FLI every 4 pixels to get 80x50 right?
