Event id #2921 : Tiny Petscii Compo 2020
Hello and welcome!
This is a very challenging online compo!

2) Images can only use 2 colors. One for background, one for all the chars.
3) Best works will be added as Stamps to Petscii editor "Petscii Cola":
Petscii Cola 0.5
4) Best works will also be released as C64 graphic collection. |

Some screens use the border (D020) in a different colour than the background (D021) and some even in a third colour on screen.
The rules only allow 8x8 characters and two colors as graphical elements.
So a different border from the background would be against the rules, because the border is part of the C64 screen and a visible part of the picture. Therefore these pictures are bigger than just 8x8 characters and it has more than two colors, too.
Just my 2c. |

Are we allowed to make PETSCII animations in the compo while if it applies with the 8x8/two colors? Or does it violate the rules? Had a thought of it, and I'm planning on making one sometime before the deadline (hope I can make it though..). |

@Brittle As stated in the info if your work is good it might become a Stamp. Animations cannot by Stamps. But you can submit your animation as "outside of compo" piece. |

Quoting TheTomRules:
1) Images can't be bigger than 8x8 chars. Images can't be smaller than 2x2 chars
Is it correct to assume that all the entries with a signature at the bottom right are all out-of-compo entries because of not complying to rule number 1?
It will save us a lot of time voting ;-) |

TheTom has a signature in their submissions, so I think it's safe to assume that signatures are ok. |

Everything outside the picture (8x8 or less) is to be ignored. So borders and signatures should be ignored when voting. |

So one could make a 8x8 pic on top and add a "signature" sized 40x17 below it. Clever =) |
