Double Screen Pixeling compo!
We remind you of the deadline
April 30th 2011.
of our double screen c64pixels.com competition!
Read about the rules further down.
First the compo-prizes!:
First three places win:
Either a T-shirt with the submitted entry printed vertically on it,
or in case of a horizontal arrangement, a cool and leet photo-mug.
The overall winner additionally will be the proud owner of a
personalized (handle printed on it) and unique lasered glas cube!
The coders of the 3 first entries get an original boxed C64 game, that we chose from our collection.
If you code the displayer (remember: double screen)
for your winning entry yourself, you get two prizes of course :)
DA RULEZ:
The theme is "double screen",
horizontally or vertically arranged.
The modes should be multicolor, hires or char picture
and displayable on real c64 with 'RUN'.
- softscroll is recommended
- no enhanced modes
(no interlace, no FLI, NUFLI, etc. - in general no 'CPU'-modes)
* exception: to make up for harsh restrictions on double screen charmode:
multiple charsets are allowed)
(So better grab some coder ;-)
- no previously released pics
So get pixeling people!
If you have remaining question feel free to ask veto or enthusi

char mode allows to use hires and multicolor at the same time. is it allowed?
what about a different $d021 color -lets say every line? |

Pretty much answers itself - D021 splits uses timing not connected to the mover and should thus be disallowed. Hires and multicolor is merely the result of the format and should be allowed. |

Yes, like twoflower put it.
Except for charmode, only scroll-code is allowed.
And charmode contains hires/mc of course.
Since the latter is fun and underrated, no limits are set on the number of charsets used.
Have fune! :)

I've got a char displayer nearly finished, 2 screens (400px high), hires+multi.
It uses variable raster splits for changing the charsets and screens, also rewrites color RAM.
Common colours:
$d021 (background)
$d022 (col 1)
$d023 (col 2)
Color RAM:
$d800 $0-$7 for hires
$d800 $7-$F for multicolor (but colours are $0-$7)
I will stick the code on github.com soon, just need to finish the converter (from popular image formats GIF/PNG) or...
Do you know any existing converters? |

I have promised Vic to make a horizontal scroller. Will make it public if I finish on time. |

How do you do multicolour bitmap horizontal scroller without VSP? Doublebuffering plus manual bitmap and color RAM copying? |

@Cruzer: can you have all 25 char lines with VSP? Fine then :) But you definitely can't with line crunching? |

Slowly getting there, but won't promise you a picture until it's done. What about "interlacing" the D021-color - allowed or not? I can't decide which one I like most. |

@Dane: nah, I don't think any $d021 switching is allowed. If you're using chars, you can legally switch $d018 though :) |

Fade-in effects or music allowed? |

first of all: please keep in mind that this is still a graphics competition.
entries with background music and fade-in/-out will be accepted, but please take care of free sight. do not harm the pic by covering with effects. |

Veto: I'll try! :)
Code done, scrolls a 80x25 chars pic with VSP, in either multicolor or hires bitmap. Get it here:

Wows! Cruzer f**k me! you did PNG to multicolour converter in KickAss! :) Awesome job. I actually had to (but wanted to) write a new graphics editor (in AS3) to make my competition pic. Coming out as opensoure will also be available online (for lunch-time pixellers). |

Digger: Makes it easier to rip gfx from screenshots. :)
Sounds good with your online pixeling editor! I have thought about doing one in Java as well, since all the common ones seem to be Windows-only. |

OK - this is the current status:
Deadline has passed by and there are 4 submitted gfx. Yazoo contacted me because he could not finish his pic in time and because of the few entries we set an overtime for this week. So please be patient, it is worth the wait...
REMEMBER: COMPO OVERTIME DEADLINE IS MAY 07TH 2011 !!!
The compo entries will be public right after this date, but you can see the available submissions as logged in c64p-member:
