 Intro categories on our anniversary party!

Well, hopefully there will be a 20 years anniversary party this year probably organized by Lavina of Gotu.
There will be a demo compo and ofcourse we need some intro compo too. But what categories should be? Alternatives:

- 1 block intro compo (252 bytes)
- 256 bytes intro compo
- 1024 bytes intro compo
- 4096 bytes intro compo
- Onefiler compo

These all have traditions in the demoscene, but 5 categories are too much! Please tell your opinion, chose two of them or write down your own idea here! This will help the organizers work...

1 block and 256 byte are almost the same, that one gets my vote. The other one would be 1K intros. Anything larger than that will take too much time = possibly less entries...

1k and 4k should be ok.

I opt for 256 byte, 1k, one file and demo (max. 2 sides).

Don't forget: we agreed on that every program should start simply by typing RUN and return.

 Re: Intro categories on our anniversary party!

Hmmmm.... Seems like I misunderstood something... Bubis, you asked "intro categories" in the topic title. IMHO "onefiler" isn't an "intro category". So, did you ask 2 categories including, or above onefilers?

Anyway, I agree with Rachy (1 disk and 1 file demos, + intros of either size; I'd opt for 4k instead of 1k, but don't take it too serious; be it better decided by people who in fact _do_ code 256b, 1k or 4k's =) ).

I'm kind of concerned that nobody will code full disk demos =), but I'm not sure. Someone probably could, I'd be happy to see it happy. I'd keep onefiler demos as category, since they don't impose any extra limitations (beyond the machine itself, of course) and they're not that hard to produce. Below that, I really don't care about the actual limitation factor =).

If the scene is too lazy we can "skip" the anniversary megademo, instead we could release all party stuff on one disk as a compilation for the anniversary.

Mmmh Lavina, I think that anybody of us has 1 single part that can be finished and included in a coopmegademo.
Yes, I'm a deceived rotten optimist happy

TLC: including. And yes, that is probably not an intro category but many ppl mentioned it as a possible compo category...
