Doh, I forgot to hassle the _three_ textmode coders from Blockparty to enter
this. I'll grab them next year!
-- Guybrush
Some outstanding productions. A few new faces; would love to see more new
comers. Proof that text mode is still very much alive, looking forward to next
year.

Trauma - The Turing Machines Didn't Care
Overall style, music and fx... and music.
-- Blacklight
Powerful soundtrack really moves the demo forward!
Starts slow but effects build up in complexity and impressivness,
which is always a good tactic ;) lol pig and yay for ribbons :)
The blue 3D things would have been nice with smoother shading, but the
+- patterns were interresting, would have been good to push it even further.
-- Buzz
Best music of the compo. The text bubble was pricesless.
-- Polaris
Great blend of styles using different subsets of the ascii chars. Produced some
very cool feeling textures. Nicely organic.
-- scoy
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Alpha Design - Cookiedough
ASCII/character-based art is nice
-- Blacklight
fuckin ace! Freshingly oldskool. Clean and simple, pure Alpha Design style.
Nice fitting music. Some originality in the well-known effects.
Very well polished.
-- Buzz
Some outstanding artwork. Old School demo effects were done so well, it was
easy to forget the production was in text mode! Outstanding!
-- Polaris
Britelite is too modest, this is a clear winnerdemo from every angle.
-- RaD Man
Too much scrolling of hand drawn images. Doesn't feel like it's pushing the
technology at all. Felt limited since it only used the 'block' characters and
not the rest of the ascii set. Cool music.
-- scoy
Some nice ascii art, awesome.
-- Guybrush
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Crimson Shine - Cube
Cubes physics in coder-color FTW! Thumb for the color scheme
-- Blacklight
nice shading. nice effects, but sadly only 2 of them.
kinda short and lacking substances. Physics cubes could have been exploited
better.
-- Buzz
The credits scene is outstanding. Neat to see a demo that doesn't actually end.
Some very nice effects, could have been a bit longer.
-- Polaris
A close second to Turing. By far the most colorful entry. Great music. It
felt like a nod to classic 8-bit games.
-- scoy
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
paulius - nuggan
Conceptual but unicolored.
-- Blacklight
very good and creative use of ASCII shading and colors.
It's only too short! and ends a bit abruptly. Fish tail.
-- Buzz
Amazing production for one person to write. Seemed to end aburptly, and could
have used a bit more synch with the music. Middle was outsanding.
-- Polaris
A bit too short and limited in scope. I like the variations of the textures
generated by the character set selection right at the beginning but after that
it kind of lost me.
-- scoy
My favorite renderer - paulius is the ASD/dreamchild of textmode. Gorgeous
transitions and ethereal feel. I demand a 15 minute epic next year!!!!
-- Guybrush
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Frostar - Frost*r Scroller........
-- Blacklight
welcome back in the dmeoscene! This one is maybe a bit too oldskool for its own
good? I mean, nowadays it's getting hard to keep interest with only a scroller ;)
Maybe switching spectrum, background, spectrum+background from time to time with
some sync could have helped.
-- Buzz
Neat to see a production written in basic. A "one effect" production with
scroller.
-- Polaris
Almost seemed 20 years out of place. Needs something more that just scrolling
hellos. The best part is the music, I liked the quirky vibe.
-- scoy
Welcome back! This is a good first step up from the Apple ][ : D
-- Guybrush
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
BITS - BITS5009
whawazdat? i'm deaf!
-- Blacklight
Thumb up for the spirit. Nice font. Lacks pacing.
Sadly the scroller gets cut so the most important effect is kinda broken.
You could/should have done way better with the music, even with pc-speakers
only!
-- Buzz
Ran far better on XP than Vista. I broke down and viewed the program in a text
editor to read the scroller :p
