What is Onefile Demo, what is Graphics...
I recently started to go through a lot of art on here to put on my SD card for enjoyment on real hardware purposes.
Then I came across Industrial Dawn which is just a picture with music. I don't see anything else going on. (That said, it is really nice, both music and pic).
It is entered as One-File Demo, while a lot of pictures with music (could link a whole bunch by Mermaid for example, but also loads others), which are just entered as Graphics.
I guess there is no super easy way to draw a line here. Any thoughts?
IMO, demo would include at least some kind of effect, or a scroller maybe. But then people had a discussion about this when I released my Headache pic in the gfx compo at X'10. |

What is the difference between "One file demo" and "Dentro" ?
For example - Obornik
Why is it not even ranked in "Top onefile demos" ? |

"dentro" is a stupid amiga-scene term that shouldnt even exist in this database. |

It was a term for multi-part one file demo without blank screen/no sound/decrunching breaks between parts, and as far as I know "Obornik" by Elysium was first. It is still "One file demo" anyway, like Dawnfall. |

the original meaning of "dentro" is like "preview for a demo that is yet to come" |

So this definition is very different from what Brush was thinking about making this "first dentro in C64 history". |

Nice read! Who cares what category things is put into; we still miss those hash-tags for easier browsing.
I'm perfectly fine with whatever comes out from this scene, regardless the heavily debated label it gets ;D |
