Ok, today rulez.org has the gift of grace, and can be acceded! So you can grab the whole packs with alternative versions sources and all the rest.
Try pushing up you prefer limiTED releases on Pouet too, coz they'd been kicked out when just entered because of rulez.org...

Thank you! happy I really liked the competition, big respect and thanks to the organizers. I agree that there were a number of interesting releases. Regarding the results, taste differs wink

By the way, for some days now I can't download the stuff from c64.rulez.org. Is this just a temporary problem?

Ah, that was all good stuff! Man, 26 entries and all of very high quality... Kudos to everyone. A thing that still gives me a good laugh is that our little scene flooded more than full page on pouet wink

@Ninja: Your Technomaker rocks!

BTW: I don't think there was any real insulting language. Some comments were a bit too critical (or lacking subtelty).

I spent ages doing mine as well....I guess everyone spent a reasonable amount of time squishing it all down. Doing the demos were one thing, fitting them in to 64/128/1k was something else - and thats what I loved about it!

I agree with indi. It was nice to read the comments. While most of them pointed out the good things about a demo even if it wasn't the commentator's favorite one, a very few comments are rather hurting.

I don't mind criticism but it should be fair and at least constructive. It's ok not to like a demo but nobody needs plain dissing. I guess, in the end those comments speak for their author(s) wink

Great demo comp guys - great fun!

A few surprises in there too (for me), I thought some should have been much higher, and some much lower, but great to read every one elses comments. I guess I just look for different things in demos these days (might not bode well for XeO3...oops... ! )

Very interesting and pretty much what I expected, though small differences to my personal preferences exist.

Strikingly, some ppl thought almost exactly the same (see comments). Must be the same CPU inside wink

I should have participated in the "Guess who?"-contest... I'd beat Csabo Cheers, mate! wink I thought that looking at the code is too much "cheating" but some demos just asked for MONITOR... interesting bits. Hopefully, some ppl decide to publish documented sources. That's the best way to learn...

A couple of questions:

Is this going to be an annual event? If so, continue to publicize the results well into 2007 for this years comp. A buzz will build (especially since the demos are so strong!) as people come and go - not everyone surfs the sites on a regular basis, I imagine. Next year it will be even stronger!

Also, how do I register?

Thanks,
Jay

 Re: [limiTED] 64bytes/(128bytes/)1024bytes democompo!

Hopefully (or possibly?), there are more. Even though PLUS/4 WORLD is a great place, it's not frequented by all plus/4 users regularly. And some ppl don't get around to vote. See how much trouble Luca has with getting more votesheets for the LONENEWS top lists.

I guess posting (ie advertising) compos on other 8bit related forums/sites would draw some attention.

Still, I'm surprised in a very positive way by this compo: Very well performed (especially the technical aspects and the presentation), enough entries to feel that the scene is alive and 30 people taking their time to check out the demos and vote.

A BIG thank you to everbody involved! And to those who haven't voted, yet... HURRY UP happy

I thought all Plus/4 had this behavior? The actual memory content in the DRAMS should stay for at least the better part of a second. Are there drams with self reset? weird..

Well anyways, with a 256kb memory expansion you can also add a simple button to circumvent all reset protectors.

So you (Bionic) got one of those almost-static-RAM plus/4s? wink None of mine works like that but TOXIC's did and I have a C16 that keep everything for at least 5secs.

Some of those protectors were rather tricky... I remember disassembling them when I did some 1551 versions and we discussed that back in the days on the old mailing list. If I recall correctly, TLC did a nice one checking $ff1d/e or so.

Anyway, I saw the clock and I wonder if it can be linked to Osama Bin Ary wink

Amazing entries, quite a few jaw-droppers...

Voting: I will add a comments section line, and a place where everyone who wishes can enter a guess as to who made that demo. In the end, we will tally up all the guesses a demo got, and possibly list who were the sceners who correctly identified the author.

My problem with linear voting: I MUST give a one in every category. Maybe I don't want to. And I MUST rank all demos as one-is-better-than-the-other. Maybe I think some of them are equal, and I want to give them the same score. So I'm still voting 10-0 scoring happy How are we going to come to a consensus on this one?

What a great Compo!

Big thanks to the Orgas, and to the Coders!

It would be extremely nice, if the voters can write a sentence or two about the entries..
And don't forget to set a voting-deadline!

If possible I would prefer the ranking way: simply order your demos by personal ranking from the worst to the best. 12 entries for 64bytes? Then automatically the worst will get 1 while the best 12.
That way, you can have a fine regulated vote with very little effort, avoiding extreme votes (like, e.g. all the demos are crap but this one that takes 1,000,000 from me).

PS: jeez guys, I slept 2 hours only to have that temporary download fixed up at record time, and now I'm at workplace, blasted!
PPS: beg your pardon, I'd forgotten to let you download a one-click complete pack, instead of single files, and I can't to it here. I'll add it when I'll be at home, sorry...

How about then 3-grade system for each demo: 1 - poor, 2 - good, 3 - superb? Then sum the submitted scores and that is it.

 Re: [limiTED] 64bytes/(128bytes/)1024bytes democompo!

But what if some demos are of equal quality to me?

I'm ok with just giving 0-3 points but I'd be happier if I can give e.g. two points to several productions.

0-10 is a wide range... maybe too wide? It's harder to tell if something is worth 5 or 6 points, I think. But that's just my opinion.

And sorry for not turning in anything Shame on me... I didn't get beyond thinking about something and some notes. But I'm curious what you guys made out of 64 bytes happy

@Csabo:

Probably it would be better applying the usual procedure for demo voting: choose the best, the second best and the third best, which gets 3, 2 and 1 point(s) each, then sum the points for demos.

Well, I know it's anon, if XYZ says they are still working, I still wouldn't know if they actually submitted one or not. I was just asking if we have to worry about the deadline counter being - apparently - incorrect.

At any rate, if there are any last minute entries, I don't think we'd mind if someone is over the deadline by a few hours or something. I'd rather see more demos than see someone disqualified.

Voting... I'll have to write the page happy I promise to do it as soon as I can. I dunno what will be the actual procedure, we'll see what happens, but please be patient happy

As for the voting itself: is everyone okay with giving scores 10-0 for the demos, and not voting for your own? Or should we do something fancier?

A little note.
Remember that the deadline is CEST (Central European Summer Time) based!
Tell ya that because seems that our nice Java countdown clock estabilishes its time by your pc's clock (we'll fix the lil'bastard anyway!).

For those that care....I've done a mini-disassembly of the screen clear so you can see what it does. You can find it on my blog.... http://dailly.blogspot.com/

Mike, do you agree I insert these results to next issue of UltimateMap?

Well, I don't need a commented disassembly. A plain ASCII-file with code and data sections seperated would be enough for me. That makes hunting useful patterns a lot easier. (I already got one I know from the C64, but there may be more)

Rachy: yeah you're right, it's due to the site's rewriting...and rulez.org still is out of service, what a mess!
Thanks for the advice, lemme suggest an alternative location where to find Ultimate Rom Map: look into the temporary folder: here.
And: yeah, scrolling is a bitch happy

 [limiTED] 64bytes/(128bytes/)1024bytes democompo!

Ok that is:
our idea is to start a cool X-bytes compo on C16/+4: prove your skill if space makes you chill!
In the beginning, we'd thought about 2 main categories: 64 bytes demo compo and 1K demo compo. Why? Well, because we wanna have a look at your skills and fantasy, without stealing you too much time. Actually a compo like this:
- takes you a very little time to spend
- can involve much more participants, even from neighbouring scenes
- show you true knowledge of our beloved machine.

You will simply enter your demo here at +4world (we'll have a comfortable page for an easy uploading), then vote in the 2nd phase (or before the deadline, we'll see).

Someome moaned "bah, 64 bytes is actually too little memory". Hence, it's my opinion to listen to your precious hints about it. To me, would be kewl 128bytes/1024bytes compos, (a 128bytes one, as well we had in "4ever'03" party in Szeged, do you remember?).
It would be a little cute compo, but, who knows, maybe a little reward for the winner would be also cool... wink

And now, I really need your opinions!
