C64 Double Screen Compo 2013
Remember this little graphic competition with double-sized pictures that happened two years ago? Think it is a good time for a second attempt. Keeping some requests in mind the rules changed in some cases. More freedom for the graphic artist and coders, but also - as requested - more transparency in case of using references and copies. And - for the first time - a theme.
Compo organizers are Enthusi and I (Veto) - for any questions please contact us per PM. The compo itself will be featured by c64pixels.com and Artcity. Deadline is March 31st 2013.
Okay then, people. Time to start. Here are the rules...
GRAPHICIANS
Theme is water in a wide range of definition: Maybe as part of a landscape, something surreal, raindrops, animals swimming in a river, arrangements with geometric bodies, a person drinking something, a liquid sculpture, a deep sea motive,...
Water doesnt need to be the only subject but should be part of picture front and shown in pure liquid state.
You can use any graphic mode you like, but please note the used format with your entry. In case of a custom format (eg mixing up FLI with custom sprites), please add a short description.
Wired stuff and compositions are allowed, but you have to accept that all originals will be shown to public with your entry, including an 1:1 check as animated gif. You are asked to provide any originals along with your entry submission.
Each entry must be executable with a mere RUN after load. The overall size of the gfx has to be two screens, in whatever arrangement. Scrolling is desired. Interlace does not count etc. You get the idea.
CODERS
This competition is for graphic artists but it is also some kind of mini-demo-compo.
Feel free to play with the idea of using a two screen size gfx. Add effects, create an graphics editor, do interactive stuff.
Minimum requirement is a picture scroller. So please include an option to disable all effects, animations and music (eg using space bar). Viewers should be able to watch the picture without diversity.
SUBMISSIONS
Please send your entry to following email address.
veto [@] c64pixels.spamsuxx.com
And - please - do not submit your entry on csdb before deadline.All pictures are shown on Artcity and the c64pixels.com members area during the compo. The d64-files will be released right after deadline.
VOTING AND PRICES
Like the first Double Screen Compo the best graphic will be chosen by email votes. More details will follow after deadline. The winner will get a personal lasered glass trophy (check out the photo).
For coders there is an award for most interesting approach selected by the c64pixels staff plus one guest juror. Which means this price is not just connected to technical excellence. Great design ideas might be a reason, something really useful or whatever innovative. Remember that online charmode editor by Digger he created for his entry the last DSC :) Prize is also a lasered glass trophy.

btw the pic still is called "a flock of seagulls" :-) its important, because it was ment as a playing with words (a flock of seagulls by yazoo - it contains two bandnames from the 80s... ah well. probably its not that important)
the "a" is part of the pictures name.
still i am excited that i have won this competition for the 2nd time. thanks to everyone who liked the picture |

\o/ hooray for yazoo! \o/
I found it very hard it to rate the top 5, quite a few are *very* close in results for a reason ;)
So, overall, super cool compo with many quality entries and perfect organization. I really liked the compo page and the oregano/workstage display. |

okay, one thing was still missing: the price for the most interesting approach about code.
this part relied on a jury, in names enthusi, sander and i. as you can see from the persons involved code quality is not the one and only discipline. all entries have been also checked in matter of presentation and usability. does extra effort a favour for the picture itself or other coders and graphicians?
to sum it up: there is no entry that is perfect in all categories and depending the point of view one or another work was superior (or even the opposite). these were the three final suggestions for the price...
- clarence/chorus for the impressive soft-scrolling sideborder routine and the demo-ish approach of the viewer.
- ready./level64 for his smooth koala viewer with extra features. plus releasing the source code incl makefile for executables.
- bitbreaker/oxyron/nuance/arsenic and cruzer/camelot for their open source spirit. both released scroller routines on codebase64 which have been used by many entries in this competition.
and the winner in 2013 is: ready. of level64
congratulations \o/
sidenote:
the whole compo was a real pleasure, with so much quality work. but in the end it is time to think about what might be improved for the next competition (which should happen in 2015). and the major subject is "creative presentation to support the graphics".
so as first consequence i promise that there will be no more "mute-the-tune-rule" anymore. |

Quoting Veto
and the winner in 2013 is: ready. of level64
congrats ready.!
good choice from the jury. a deserved win.
haven't looked in the code, but it was especially the most convenient displayer in the compo for me from the user-perspective. |
