I gather its not going to be as 'demo' like as what was previously thought? More of an 'animation' competition?

Well i meant a demo as in something with graphical effects for animation ... It sounds to me like some of the entries will be animations with some kind of story behind it or something?

I dont really mind either way, it is good to be entertained :).

Well, the problem is to do demos in Basic is very difficult- it would a very long time to render anything more complicated than most of the Basic screensavers already on ticalc. it would be nice to see some more things like Monochromatic or Pixel madness from the asm programmers though- and if a basic programmer can do something like that, it would be awesome.

Oooh I better get cracking.... I don't want to abandon Ender's Game for this until the beta's ready, but I don't know if that will leave enough time to finish my entry.

Well i have decided that if i code my ace off i can possibly make the deadline ... which im taking as the last day of April rather than the 31st :). I already made a small start, i just hope i can get something done in time o_o.

So according to my calculations there is just less than 36 hours remaining?

Also i have no way of testing on hardware ... i just hope PindurTI emulates the speed correctly on my PC :).
