- -- --- -- --
Rules
- -- --- -- --
Please, *please* read all the rules! Some rules have changed from
last TMDC.
(and I still have a funny feeling most people didn't read the rules
last time either =)
- -- --- -- --
General
- -- --- -- --
- The organizers reserve the right to disqualify any demo, and the
right to change the rules at any time.
- The organizers will spread the last version they've received from
you.
- The demos must be previously unpublished.
- Direct textmode conversions of existing demos are not allowed.
EXCEPTION: Remakes of legendary demos made by completely separate
people are ok. Contact organizers to make sure whether
the demo you're considering is legendary enough.
- The authors will retain copyright to their productions.
- Maximum demo length (in time) is not limited, but you should
remember that too long demos are boring.
- Complete animation demos are not denied, but remember the size
limits..
- User must be able to quit the demo at any moment by pressing ESC.
- Contributor must own all copyrights to the competition entry.
- -- --- -- --
Files
- -- --- -- --
- You must include info file (yourdemoname.txt) in the package.
- You may give extra information for organizers only while submitting
the production. For web upload there's extra text area for this
info, for E-mail upload please write the extra info to the message.
- Remember to include "snail" mail address info in either info file
or the extra information meant for organizers only!
- -- --- -- --
Limitations
- -- --- -- --
- Maximum file size is 1440000 bytes in a ZIP file (approx 1.4 megs),
and 3 (THREE) megs uncompressed.
- The demo must have sound support!
- The demo must run on PentiumIII 500 with 64 megs of RAM under
Win2000 console.
- The demo may NOT write anything on harddrive (neither in current
dir nor on C root or %temp% or windows registry or anywhere else).
- Keep filenames sensible (no weird characters, and length below 21
characters)
- -- --- -- --
Mode
- -- --- -- --
The complete demo must run in some textmode (including any possible
setup screen). You must support 80x25 or 80x50 text mode as your demo
will be judged primarily in 80x50 mode (or 80x25 if you don't support
the 50-line mode).
You may include OPTIONAL support for any other text mode you can get
out of the Win console, but those modes will not be used while jurying.
Font and palette changes are not allowed; neither are any other
mode-extending tricks.
- -- --- -- --
Judging
- -- --- -- --
Jury will be selected by tAAt ry board. Judging will be done on several
different PCs ranging from PentiumIII/500 to Athlon2000+ to ensure
compatibility with widest possible range of computers. Operating
systems may include Win2000, Win98SE and WinXP.
To make judging as simple as possible linux entries are not allowed
at this time, but if you wish to contribute linux versions of your
demos we will distribute those as well.
