FastDemo?

category: general [glöplog]
 
What is this category “FastDemo”?
What kind of work goes there?
Made quickly (an hour before the party)?
Very fast by duration?
An internet search, of course, turned up a ton of useful information spam. =)

Some parties hold "fast demo competitions" where the entries are made at the partyplace, usually with a given theme to capture the party-atmosphere - example.

Yeah! Thank you, it's clearer now!

Typically you get 4 or 8 hours, and you get a theme or N elements that need to be included to guarantee you don't make, or at least finish, the demo before the party. (Of course, nothing keeps you from making an engine or setting up your development environment or making effects or becoming a proficient coder before the party. It strongly varies how much pre-party preparation is involved.)

Some parties also call these “fun compo”.
