Quoting Raistlin"a few lines or pixels extra or less of the center area is ok"
.. this one I don't understand. Rules are rules, right? We can all save screenshots from VICE and compare our "fake border" to VICE's border, after all, can't we..? Just set the screen to 38 or 40 columns, 24 or 25 rows, take a snapshot from VICE - and recreate the exact border appearance in your demo part? This is to address minor visual differences when "simulating" the screen+border duality, i believe.
Recreating the exact screen position can be prohibitively tricky or downright impossible.
E.g., think of raster splits to switch background colour twice a frame, which may produce grey dots. Or the fact that a write to $d016 to open the sideborder must happen exactly one cycle before the sideborder, and prevents you from writing to any colour register in that region. |

Exactly this. I know how hard that can be and downright impossible, so better to relax that rule to get nicer entries. |

Just disqualify all entries that doesnt have the border at the exactly right pixels in the screenshot. Some ppl around here may assist you with that :) |

You shouldn't update that page. Just create a new release, then choose this compo as release compo and it will automagically be added to the page. |

Due to the big overlap in time with the sprites only compo and due the the coding difficulties in this one, we've extended the deadline one month. |

Rastabah's entry is an edge case but approved. This is exacly why I relaxed the border rules. |

Probably a stupid question, but Rasta Bah's entry has a mainscreen that's bang on 320x200px perfectly overlapping with the standard BASIC screen so what makes it an edge case? A mainscreen that's 312x192px (39x24) would also work I assume? I don't want to waste time on something that gets kicked out because it falls foul of rules I don't understand ;) |

39x24 is ok. |
