Chaos Constructions 2016 realtime compos
category: parties [glöplog]
The biggest russian demoparty Chaos Constructions will take place 27-28 august at Saint Petersburg, a big part of which will be dedicated to our beloved ZX Spectrum. There will be not only the home-made full scale competitions, but also some really curios contests - ZX Spectrum Realtime Graphics and ZX Spectrum Realtime Music.
I would like to invite everybody to try and participate in this rather unusual competition.
What are the rules of Realtime compo?
Just before the start of the contest, a theme will be announced. I will do my best to copy it here into the comments, so nobody would have missed it. Time of work completion is 2.5 hours, so the competition won’t take too much time from you. Compo start 27 august 2016 at 13:30 MSK (10:30 AM UTC), so at that very moment a theme will be announced.
Graphic compo entries should be original, which means that copying other authors to ZX Spectrum is not allowed. Using conversion and internet materials is not allowed as well. Please also submit 3-4 work-in-progress screenshots, so the entry will not disqualified into Out of Compo in case of doubts.
Music compo entries should also be original, any works for AY/YM or 6 Channel Turbo Sound (2xAY) are accepted. A tune should be compiled to be used from address #c000, maximum playing time is 3 minutes, which should be really enough, considering the fact that yet they have to be composed in less than 3 hours. Channels layout will be ABC.
There is one more realtime competition most relevant to ZX Spectrum - it’s a Realtime 53 Colors Attribute Graphics compo. This is the easiest and quicket way to participate.You can draw the image directly in browser, and a usual ZX48 .tap file will be generated and submitted automatically.
You can read more details about competition rules on official website of this computer art festival.
Why should I participate?
Realtime graphics and music are somehow different from usual GFX/Music contests.
What do I need to do to participate?

is it possible to participate remotely ?
@Creonix: of course! ;)
The only impossible thing here is to VOTE remotely. UNLIKE Di Halt parties :)
What's the difference between a “realtime” compo and a fast compo?
Sesse: there is none, it's just how they're called at CC.
How about a "faster than realtime" compo?
Saga musix: singularity contest, how appropriate for chaos constructions
I would like to remind once again, that realtime competitions will start on this saturday at 10:30 AM UTC (13:30 MSK). I will do everything possible to post all compo themes here, apart from announcement on official website.
Just for any case, I would like to mention that this year it is obligatory to send 2-3 stage screenshots for graphics, that work should be original, not copy or overdraw, and it shouldn’t use even parts of other authors works.
It seems like this year there will be many participants - I hope that it will be true :) Once again, if you feel that realtime music or graphics seem to be too complicated, you can always try your skills in 53c compo.
Good luck everybody! I wish you to get as much fun from participation as possible.

Spiderweb is here, who will be trapped, banned and removed next?
lvd, did you like the works? :)
You will never know and you know why.
He must have wanted your feedback so badly he banned you.
lvd, I don't know why.
The only thing that comes to my mind is banning you on ZX-Art after you started raging infowar against visitors. As I have already told you - you can always come back if you stop trolling, elfing, personal downvoting, sarcasm, agression or whatever you might select as your weapon. I have nothing against you personally, just come in peace.
So, tell me, why did you start offtopic in topic of Chaos Constructions? You can make a new topic anytime if you want to discuss your ban publicly on pouet.

good Sand-monkey banned now xD
> start offtopic in topic of Chaos Constructions
I don't think it is an offtopic. After almost 100 links to single other site your plan is now clear -- to give some advertisement to the site.
There is of course nothing bad in it, and even the site is not bad (at least if not considering its owner :).
But this makes relation between CC and zxart. So no offtopic, right?
Then, I'd like to state again, with your help of course -- that everybody who's going to write anything in comments at the site -- could be easily accused -- by you -- in, for example, 'sarcasm' and then banned away.
Also funny thing is 'personal downvoting' (what it is, eh?) -- although there is a possiblility to put votes 1 to 5, even the '3' vote makes sometimes hysteria in comments, and everybody who'll try to set '1' will be immediately accused in 'personal downvoting' or whatever and banned (of course, except for select few).
Another funny thing is that if somebody first adds some prod to the site and then gets banned (by extermination of the whole account, with all comments, votes, whatever), the very important (in my understanding) field 'added by' in these prods get cleared. My interpretation to this funny phenomen is: you assign the work of adding prod from the banned person to yourself. Now compare this with Pouet.
Of course you will now put your objections and maybe even fix that sometimes, but the fact still takes place.
So I just wanted people to know of that funny peculiarities of your otherwise wonderful zxart site.

i dont know whats going on on ZX art but from my expierneces i feel that banning is abused with increasing of the age of sceners (see thread of Breakpoint `03 and guys who were against bans for burning chair and now u can get ban for arguing with party organisers ;)
ah sorry in 90s also was abused (see thread / topic about Exotic men when one of them was removed from party for "being just too drunk") hahah
