Event id #2655 : 8K Intro Competition 2017
Inspired in part by Didi's past intro creation competitions (many thankings for those!),
have a four week lightning competition to help you survive the holiday season
- single file one part intro (fade in/out acceptable)
- has a logo+changing text+music
- file size of at most 8192 bytes, including load address (so, 8190 bytes of data).
- no more than 5 seconds decrunch/precalculation time.
- once page is running, exits within 5 seconds of pressing space (should be obviously fading out)
- don't trash any RAM from $2800 to $cfff inclusive (unless you restore it on exit).
- entries uploaded to csdb as runnable .prg, optionally embedded in .d64,
- max three per participant, withdrawals allowed, older entries will be displaced if you've too many.
- competition start: 8th December
- entry deadline: 5th of January, 14:00 (2pm) UTC
- voting deadline: 12th of January, 14:00 (2pm) UTC
- entries will be ranked by CSDb rating, including private votes.
- entries with the same weighted average will be ranked by their percentages of 10s, 9s, etc.
No prizes, just fame :)
Thankings to Jeanette, Krill, Groepaz, and various ICC2016 commenters for helping me to crystallise plans.
Any errors in judgement all my own - I've ignored a lot of good advice :D

From the rules:
Quote: exits within 5 seconds of pressing space
But yes, no rules about NTSC. Something for next year's compo runner to consider :) |

I was just comparing old ICC compo, with all those entries. ok, rules are different, but here you also have less time.
My entry... uhm... I dunno if 4 days are enough for me to understand the rules. :) |

The rules, simplified:
One part with logo+scroller+music
space to exit
8k file limit
Don't use ram between 2800 and cfff |

If anyone's considering an entry but wants more time, message me. I'll push out the deadline if there's any interest. |

My entry is 90-95% finished and I can make the deadline with a lot of stress but with this weekend included the chance of making it is greatly increased.
So... Yes, please! :D
However, that also increases the expectations of the voters. ;) |

OK, I'll push the deadline out at least three more days to include the coming weekend.
I will wait for further feedback before I nail it down, but it'll be no earlier than 14:00 UTC on the 8th of January. |
