C64 DOUBLE SCREEN COMPO

Hello graphicians. C64pixels.com is one year old and this is a perfect opportunity for a big competition for big pictures.

Theme is free. Show us your sceneries, machines, buildings, people, geometrical or organic shapes, tell stories, confuse us by perspective play, create something abstract, stylish logo designs or whatever you like.

Now here are the rules:

- Picture size has to be 2 screens, preferably horizontally or vertically arranged
- Graphic modes MultiColor, HiRes or Char - no enhanced (or so-called CPU) modes.
In case of chars you may use multiple character-sets but no raster-splits for colors.
- No animation please.
- The pic should be executable via RUN on a c64 as connected picture (soft-scrolling is recommended) - so grab a suitable coder in time.
- The compo entry has to be a first release at the compo. Please do not publish on CSDb or other public platforms before voting is over.
- Racist motives are not tolerated. Yes, explicit nudity, violence or weird disturbing stuff will be accepted but only visible for members and not represented on Lemon64 or CSDb.

For voting we will make the pictures available in several places such as c64pixels, Lemon64 and CSDb. Voting will start openly in May this year via PM or Email.

Of course there will be an special and unique award for the winning artist, AND some award (likely in form of an original C64 game) for the associated coder, even if it’s the same person

Additionally, the c64pixels team will award a special prize for the ‘most unique’ entry, be it for technically outstanding pictures/code, or an otherwise special submission. This award will not go to the compo winner.

Deadline is april 30th 2011
Please send your pics to “[email protected]”. Good luck!

Gossip says there might be some template executables available in the future

Although i'd recommend to do a picture first and stick to easier modes (petscii, hires or multicolor) - then ask a coder. I'm sure we can find someone, you can count on my help.
