Allowed platforms: Anything that is able to produce a VGA or PAL signal, but please contact us
beforehand for anything that's not C64, Amiga or PC so we can make the necessary preparations.
Maximum size of all required files: 98304 bytes.
On Amiga, PC, and Mac, the game is required to be a single file.
Your game will be played by a member of your group, so expect to be called upon during the party. (If you don't come,
ryg will play. Consider yourself warned).
Maximum showing time: 5 minutes.
Game must be playable with whatever "standard" input devices your chosen platform has (so please, try to
avoid using self-soldered controllers :)
If your game is networked, contact us in advance and set up a game server or other players yourself in time.
If you have a dedicated game server, be warned that its size counts for the 96k limit!
You may store files on the disk, as long as those are not required to run the game - that is, droppers that
write a new executable are not allowed, highscores/savegames are.
Platforms: Anything you can get a demo to run on!
No size limit, get the maximum out of your chosen hardware!
Maximum showing time: 10 minutes.
You must deliver proof that your entry works on real hardware (i.e. bring the hardware with you and show the organizers).
Submissions must include a digital video of the entry, as MPG or AVI file with MPEG1, MPEG2
or XVid/DivX video and uncompressed or MP3 audio. If you are unable to record such a file by yourself, please contact
us early enough at the party so we can help you.
Be a video artist, render a 3d animation or show what you can do with Flash - anything that's, well, either an Animation
or a Video fits into the competition.
Maximum showing time: 10 minutes.
Your entry has to be delivered as AVI/MPG/Flash file. Allowed video codecs are MPEG1, MPEG2, DivX and XVid;
allowed audio codecs are uncompressed and MP3 audio. Naturally we'll try to convert everything else too,
but we can't promise anything.
We'll do a quality preselection. (So don't even think about submitting a "trip to the party" video, thanks).
If you can't manage to record your demo in one of the supported formats, contact us at the party and we'll try and help.
If you have no experience on how to make demos look good on the bigscreen, we strongly suggest reading
this article by kb/farbrausch.
A unofficial compo, organized by Sir Garbagetruck ().
Maximum size: 80 * 1000 characters.
ANSI entries must come with 4 working stages. Entries with missing or non-plausible working stages will
be disqualified. Working stages for ASCIIs are nice, but not a requirement.
Entries must state which video mode to use: Amiga-ANSI, PC-ANSI, Block-ASCII or Amiga-ASCII.
Your entry will be shown with the latest version of AcidView.
AcidView's built-in topaz font will be used for displaying amiga style ASCIIs.
ANSImations/ASCIImations are forbidden!
So is using iff2ansi, gif2ansi or jpg2ansi (or similar tools).
