Event id #3003 : Only Sprites Compo
Competition Rules:
* You can ONLY display sprites - no chars or bitmaps. Magic byte(s) CAN be used.
* Change any VIC properties that you like
* The Effect must be a one-screener in one PRG (preferably compressed) (no disk streaming)
* Variations of the effect are allowed
* Interaction is allowed - make it a game if you like ;-p
* Music is allowed and encouraged
* Borders can of course be removed
Winner will be chosen based on CSDB's rankings. |

Awesome compo idea. Got something half-cooked already =) But let's finish the ECM one before starting this one or at least have a generous deadline? |

Can I reuse old parts? Such as the exploding cube in Drinking Buddies or the full border ESCOS tunnel in S:T Lars Meeting III - Invite :P |

REU: No. Urgh, always with the edge cases ;-p
Reusing Parts: Yes, why not. CSDB voting is what matters - if the crowd don't like reused parts, they'll downvote ;-) |

What's the rationale behind sprites only? |

"Magic byte(s) CAN be used."
i guess you mean the idle byte?
Deadline is a bit tight for me, VICE release coming up :) |

Somehow I felt this compo is about to kick in. Thought of it myself too :D |

Aren't sprites enough?
I think it gives a decent constraint without going for the often-repeated memory-limited compos.
It will be good to see if anyone can create anything new and amazing with this ... I suspect there'll be some things that most of us never thought about. |

why not say that only hyperscreen is allowed ? that is turn off VICII display bit, but open the top/bottom border each frame, then you only have sprites and idle byte naturally. |
