Event id #3244 : Intro Creation Competition 2022
<Post edited by TheRyk on 14/2-2023 23:59>
Now coders, warm your fingers, winter's coming :)
Quoting Didi in 2021 discussion...
@ThRyk: Feel free to organize something different for a change. I may participate.
OK, so I grab the torch and seize the chance to make some changes. Main new thing is, we want to do 8K/2K/1K this time, because
Quoting KrillQuoting TheRyk16K is boring :) I concur. That's practically unrestricted. =)
and 4K has been done very often over the years.
Stricter limits, but no more care about "RAM footprints", so we also need no discussion about whether this or that part of RAM/IO/ZP count or not etc. -> Crunched (or not crunched, your decision) file size matters but nothing else.
obligatory RULES for ALL categories
- works on a vanilla C64 (PAL standard) without any extensions
- 1 part intro, however, fade-ins and fade-outs are allowed
- shows at least one logo
- displays a changing/moving text message (e.g. scrolltext, text fading in/out...)
- has to be interruptable by SPACE
- no ripped or vastly recycled code; ripped gfx/music is allowed
- not released before entering the competition
- executable format startable with RUN
NEW! Using other VIC-Banks than %11 is forbidden, so don't use RAM higher than $3FFF (IO and Vectors in page $FF are ok).
<- reaction on complaints
8K
- crunched range is $0801 till maximum $27ff
- contains music
- is linked to this competition as "C64 Fast Intro" entry (lacking a more fitting category)
2K
- crunched range is $0801 till maximum $0fff
- is linked to this competition as "C64 2K Game" entry (lacking a more fitting category)
1K
- crunched range is $0801 till maximum $0bff
- is linked to this competition as "C64 1K Intro" entry
NEW crack-your-grinch-head-category
- get this .prg file and link it at $2000 (ranges till $CFFF)
https://csdb.dk/release/download.php?id=278763
e.g. in ACME
*= $2000
!bin "linkthis.prg",,2
- $2000-$CFFF must be the same before RUN and after SPACE press
- link your file to this competition as "C64 WiLD Demo" entry
More rules/info
Maximum 2 entries per participant and category, i.e. max. 6 altogether.
However, entries are allowed to be withdrawn from the compo in favour of new entries until deadline.
Deadline for entry submission is 29th Jan 2023, 23:59:59 CET.
Then voting runs from 14th Feb 2023 till Feb 28th 23:59:59 CET.
CSDb votes will NOT decide the result, there will be some half-smart alternative external solution,
anyone with a CSDb account will be granted access to voting, self-votes will be eliminated.
No material prizes can be won, though, apart from eternal fame and the mere fun of competing.
Have fun!
Cheers
Ryk
PS: I reserve the right to disqualify entries for violating competition rules or human rights, but as I value freedom of speech and art highly, this will hopefully not be necessary; just follow the rules, use common sense and don't be a dick, pretty please. |

Disk arrived in Denmark, "only" 11 days later. \o/ Thanks, Ryk! You shouldn't have!
Haven't checked the content yet, but I assume it's from you since it's ~20 years since last time I got a snailmail disk.
Looking forward to trying to solve the riddle, although I'll probably fail. |

11 days from Holstein (apart from Schleswig the northernmost part of Germany) to Denmark...
Not very impressive even if it was delivered by a horseman X_D |

Disk arrived in Australia \o/
Possibly a few days ago, I'm a bit patchy checking the letter box.
Thanks, Ryk, and thanks so much for organising the competition!
First time I've received a floppy in the mail from Europe since the early 90s I think - so nice to experience that again :) |

Wowzers!
Would have bet someone in charge would lose it/send it back/demand extra charge or the disk would cause trouble at the customs office, great that it worked out, thx 4 reporting!
Cheers

ICC 2024? :-)
+1 idea for rules:
--> PAL/old NTSC/NTSC/Drean compatibility
...maybe also 16K for extra visuals?
- crunched range $0801 till maximum $3fff |

chatGPZ for the orga!
Seriously, as mentioned elsewhere, I'm always interested to compete but I don't wanna be the one organising the next one. Not because I can't spare the time, but because imho especially rules whiners of past compos (and there were a lot of those) should get and take their chance. Very eager to see if new orga is no-limit-aka-16k-footprint fan or some hardcore-tight-size-coder or someone who sets up a congenial easy set of rules... Whining about past or dreaming about future rules will definetely not launch any compo, however... |

The next compo should clarify if it's a Crack Intro Competition or some variant of a 4k Intro competition.
Some make a proper crack intro other try to squeeze the last bit out of "how can i juggle the memory around best to fit a hardcore codepr0n part in there".
Maybe it's just me not getting the goal of the compo right.. |
