compos
YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE ENTRY FOR THE COMPETITIONS IF YOU COME TO THE PARTY.

Compo information

  • If there are enough entries, then AGA/OCS/ECS demos will be run in separate compos. Remote entries are most welcome!
  • The compo machine will be an A1200 with an 060/50 and lots of RAM. An A500 1.3 512k/512k will also be available if your prod is not AGA compatible.
  • Questions about compo rules can be asked on our IRC channel (#fap2014 on IRCNet).
  • Send remote entries via e-mail to nosfeh [at] gmail DOT com (you can also send to fap@tnsp.org, just in case) before the deadline (check the schedule)

General compo rules

  • Entries should be delivered with an "entryname.txt" infofile with filled entries. For example, if your entry is bb-superdemo.lha, you should also deliver bb-superdemo.txt (see here for example template.)
  • Demo/intro/graphics/video/animation entries should also deliver "entryname_sshot.{png,gif}" (PNG or GIF format respectively - for example "bb-superdemo_sshot.png"), representing a desired screenshot image, at resolution of 640x480 (corrected to 4:3 aspect ratio) from whatever yours is. If your screenshot is not 640x480, it will be converted to such. Graphics compo entries may get autogenerated previews, but please rather provide your own preview file.
  • Music entries MAY include "entryname_sample.{wav,flac,mp3,ogg}", an WAV, FLAC, MP3 or Ogg Vorbis format file that should be a 30 second long clip of the entry, at 44100Hz/16bit/MONO. Our system will transcode them to MP3/OggVorbis files for HTML5 audio. This is entirely optional, but if not provided, we will use openmpt123 to butcher first 30 seconds of your entry automatically to a sample clip. :)
