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! |

Quote:I say this without knowing whether one of the G*P entries failed on the memory restriction or not.
are you saying G*P's QA dept didn't do their job? where's the "Accepted For Release" approval-stamp? ;)))
anyways, I think Didi did the right thing here, especially since the Excess intro was uploaded almost a month ago. I guess it would've been different if the entry was uploaded on the last day of the compo.
that said, what an awesome amount of great entries again this year, well done everybody! |

Cool that a contender for first place appeared short before closing. Now there is a really close race. Let's wait and see who wins in the end.
There is already a new record with 100+ votes made for an ICC entry. Being curious how high it will climb. |

There should be no discussion about what intro is the best in this compo. Intro by Jammer/Joe is the only option.
It has everything an excellent intro needs: super nice logo, amazing scroller, superb sound. I even like the choice of colors :) |
