For more general info about the party go | to the www-pages. Some facts presented in this information file | might change prior to the party and the best way of keeping | informed is to regularly check out web site at www.assembly.org/asm97. | After the 7th of August the actual party site is www.assembly97.net. | | .--------------------------. `---| The preliminary schedule |----------------------- --- -- - `--------------------------' ·( fRIDAY, 8th of August )· 1o.oo ASSEMBLY doors open - the party may begin! 13.oo Sign-up for out door compos begins (not yet confirmed) 15.oo Outdoor compos (not yet confirmed) 19.oo C64 competition deadline - all C64 contributions must be entered 22.oo Deadline for all competitions 23.oo C64 competitions start ·( sATURDAY, 9th of August )· 12.oo 4 channel music competition 13.oo Graphics competition 13.3o 32 channel music competition 15.oo PC 4k intro competition 16.oo Amiga 64k intro competition 17.3o PC 64k intro competition 2o.oo Java demo competition 21.3o Win'95 demo competition 23.3o Wild competition ·( sUNDAY, 10th of August )· o9.oo Amiga demo competition 11.3o Animation competition 12.3o PC demo competition 15.oo Vote counting 16.oo Announcement of winners and prize ceremony 20.oo Doors close - ASM'97 is over! .---------------------------------. .---| General info about competitions |------- --- -- - | `---------------------------------' | | The organizers reserve the right to make any changes to the | competition rules, and to disqualify any entry if it is not suitable to | attend the competitions for some reason. So don't include any explicit | sexual, racist or disturbing material. | | Atleast one of the authors of a competiting product has to be present | at the party place in order to attend the competitions and to | receive possible prizes. In solo competitions (music, graphics, 4kb) | the author has to be present. | | Only contributions deliverd before the deadline will participate in the | competitions. | | A jury composed of known scene people (maybe even you!) will select | an amount of 15 entries in each competition to the finals (to be shown | on the big screen to the audience). There will be different people in | the PC and Amiga jurys. | | "Maximum running length" below is only the amount of time we will | show a particular piece of art on the big screen. | | The demos/intros will have to run without ANY user interaction | once started (although there can be a setup screen). | | The filenames of the productions have to comply with the ISO-9660 | standard. This means that the only characters allowed in filenames are | "A-Z" and "0-9". The maximum length of the filename is 8+3 characters | as in MS DOS standard. | | The productions MUST NOT save any files (for example configuration | files) on the hard disk or the disk. | | In the music, graphics, raytracing and 4kb intro competitions only one | of the authors (if there are more than one) can be the official author | of the competing piece of art. For example, if two coders work on the | same 4kb intro, only one of them can receive the prize and his name in | the party results. After all, these three competitions are meant to be | solo competitions. | | The authors have to have all copyrights to their production. If you are | dumb enough to rip graphics from Quake we won't be dumb enough to show | it on the screen. | | All entries will be distributed immediately after ASSEMBLY. If you wish | to release a bugfixed version, submit that to the info crew before the | end of the party. | | All entries will be included on the Erave 3 CD-ROM, which will be | released approximately one month after party. | | | .---------------------. `---------| Amiga general rules |--------------------------------------. `---------------------' | | As the competition machine we will use: | | A1200 | 2 mb chip memory | 16 mb fast memory | 68060 at 50 mhz | | There's a possibility to use CyberVision64/3D.
