The competition machine will most probably be an A4000, 060 @ 50Mhz with a PPC604e @ 233MHz, 128MB RAM, a
Cybervision PPC card, a AHI-capable sound card, WarpOS and PowerUP.
Assigns and installation scripts are forbidden. Going into the demo's directory and starting the main executable
have to be the only necessary steps to watch the demo.
All custom libraries have to be delivered with the demo/intro; they have to reside in the demo/intro's directory
and will count into the file size of your production - no 64k intros with 2MB libs, please.
Pressing either the right mouse button or ESC has to end the demo instantly.
The entry has to be delivered as single .lzh or .zip file.
Maximum resolution is 1024x768 pixels.
Please note that compos with less than three entries will be cancelled. If we have less than 3 entries, you have the
option of either competing in the Real Wild Compo or retracting your entry. (This rule has
always been in place, but considering the extremely low count of Amiga releases last year, we thought to mention it explicitly).
If you have no experience on how to make demos look good on the bigscreen, we strongly suggest reading
this article by kb/farbrausch.
If you have questions or suggestions about these rules, contact the organizers at

demo
Maximum size is 14MB zipped for ALL files (including readmes etc)
Maximum running time: 15 minutes - please try to keep them under 10 minutes if you can though!
64k intro
Maximum size is 65536 bytes unzipped. The production must be a single file (additional infofiles
and readmes are ok, of course).
Maximum running time: 10 minutes.
4k intro
Maximum size is 4096 bytes unzipped. The production must be a single file (additional infofiles
and readmes are ok, of course).
Maximum running time: 5 minutes.
The entry has to run in a "clean" environment, that is booting AmigaOS without startup sequence, running
SetPatch and then the intro executable.
