▓ At our 36th computer party, The Gathering proudly brought the world ▓
▒ another 133 productions in addition to the over 4600 since 1992. ▒
░ ░
This year we brought you demos, demoscene tools, useless utils and small
HTML. We had hand-drawn, textmode and fast graphics. Three different
music competitions. Short movies, two physical construction competitions
as well as a screenshot competition for a wide variety of challenges.
░ ░
▒ The Gathering took place at Vikingskipet in Hamar Norway from 03.04.2026 ▒
▓ to 08.04.2025 with about 3500 in total at the party. ▓

▒ Limited resolution and limited colors. This year we had a Tiki 100 theme. ▒
░ 256x256 in 16 colors from a palette of 256 and a 4/3 pixel size ratio made ░
▒ this an interesting competition. ▒
▓ ▓
█ The Tiki 100 was a Norwegian-made school computer and it was primarily █
▓ owned and used by schools and teachers. It has no text modes and cannot ▓
▒ produce grey colors due to the 3:3:2 RGB bits per color. ▒
