Greetings! Anadune is proud to invite everyone to the
second edition of the GRAVITY party.
This time we shall meet on the last weekend of the summer
holidays, meaning the 30th/31st of August 1997. An
official opening of the party will be conducted at 10:00AM
sharp. Of course everyone who will arrive earlier will be
invited inside.
Just as the last time, the place where the party will be
conducted is the "GWARDIA" hall in Opole (2 Kowalska St.).
The building is located at a distance of about 300m from
the train station (see chapter 6 for details on the
location),
Here is a list of organisers of competitions for each of
the supported platforms:
Amiga - Anadune
PC - Amnesty
Atari 8b - Shadows
Falcon - Shadows

8. CONCLUSIONS
That's it concerning the introdcution, let us now get down
to business...
1. PARTY
- just as before - a BIG big-screen (8m cross-section) and
a smaller one as a backup,
- 1700 seats, the more people come to the party the bigger
the prizes will be,
- concert-hall-style sound,
- internet connection,
- rave party, strobes, mist generators, etc.,
- a quiet sleeping-room for party-animals tired of
animated wacky dancing... :)
- party t-shirts,
- manga room,
- vote-counting presented on the big screen (99%
probability that this will be achieved),
- live interviews (motion-camera and internet) presented on
the big screen,
- selected "use your illusion here..." spots, one of them
might be quite a surprise... you'll be amazed, you'll see!
:)
- just as before - bar/buffet open 24h/day,
2. CRAZY COMPOS
here are some of the proposals:
- line compo, the most multi-platform compo ever, ment to
select the most powerful scene group...
- dyna compo, you know what...
- bag compo, during which we will select the quickest
swapper on the scene...
- worms compo, you will need a sleeping bag and quite a bit
of agility and endurance...
- blood content level compo, Zig is disqualified by
definition :)
- banana compo, ment only for couples...
and many others, proposed by Cedyn/Shadows, which means
that we will have double the number of crazy compos.
Definitely nobody will be bored...
3. COMPETITIONS
Amiga & PC
Compo machines - the productions must run smoothly on one of
the following hardware configurations:
CRX 200 Mhz, 32 Mb Ram, SVGA TSENG 6000, GUS 1 MB,
Just on Warlock's machine...:)
Amiga 1200, Blizzard IV 030, 50 Mhz, 8 Mb Fast, HD,
The fact that your productions should be running on such
machines is only a formal requirement. This means that, if
for example a demo will not run correctly on an 040 or 060,
we will try it on a standard Amiga with 030-50 MHz.
demo competition
- the demo should take no more than 10 minutes,
- the demo should consume no more than 5 MB disk
space, we will take into consideration exceptions
to this rule,
- "exitability" to DOS after the demo is over is
absolutely required to take part in the competition,
- demos with "borrowed" graphics, textures, music or
code will not pass selection, independent of whose
demo it will be,
- all demomaker-productions will end up in the crazy
demo competition,
64 kb intro competition
- the intro should take no more than 5 minutes,
- the intro cannot be larger than 64kB meaning 65536
bytes,
- "exitability" to DOS after the intro is over is
absolutely required to take part in the competition,
- intros with "borrowed" graphics, textures, music or
code will not pass selection, independent of whose
intro it will be,
4 kb intro competition
- the intro should take no more than 5 minutes,
- the intro cannot be larger than 4kB meaning 4096
bytes,
- "exitability" to DOS after the intro is over is
absolutely required to take part in the competition,
crazy demo compo (Amiga, PC and Falcon platforms all
together)
- the demo should take no more than 10 minutes,
- the demo should consume no more than 10MB disk
space,
- demos exhibiting real sick humour might not pass
the selection..
- it is possible that some of the more "untypical"
productions entered in the demo competition will
end up in this compo...
vhs competition
- we only take vhs cassettes, no other formats,
- the demo should take no more than 10 minutes,
- in order to enter the competition it is necessary to
specify the place and time of production on the tape,
graphics competition
- the picture must be submitted in one of the
following formats: IFF-ILBM, JPG or GIF,
- the disk containing the picture should contain
information on what hardware do you expect the graphics
to be displayed (Amiga AGA or PC SVGA 24-bit),
- the size of the picture must not exceed 640x512
(Amiga) or 640x480 (PC), larger work will be
converted to the above formats if time allows,
therefore we cannot guarantee that the quality of the
picture will be maintained,
- only one picture per person,
- the picture cannot be a scan, redrawing or "borrowed",
ray competition
- the picture must be submitted in one of the
following formats: IFF-ILBM, JPG or GIF,
- the disk containing the picture should contain
information on what hardware do you expect the graphics
to be displayed (Amiga AGA or PC SVGA 24-bit),
- the size of the picture must not exceed 640x512
(Amiga) or 640x480 (PC), larger work will be
converted to the above formats if time allows,
therefore we cannot guarantee that the quality of the
picture will be maintained,
- only one picture per person,
- the picture cannot contain "borrowed" objects or
textures,
music competition (multi & 4 Ch.)
- we will play a module for 5 minutes, no more,
- only about 10-15 modules which will undergo earlier
selection will be presented in public,
- the module must be entered in a format which will
allow it to be played on either Protracker or
Fasttracker,
Everyone interested in details on the competitions for the
Atari and C64 platforms will find necessary information in
the invitations prepared for these platforms.
