- JOENSUU, 22-24 Nov 1996
-
- Disclaimer : All those typos in bad english aren't made on purpose.
- Still, I'm using english in this jolly text because it
- seems to be standard in scene. I'm 100% sure that
- foreigners won't come anyway but here we go.
-
- Date & Place : Demolition will be again held in the Joensuun Kauppaoppilaitos.
- It is the same place than last time, it can hold about 250
- people with some computer and hifi equipment. Date will be
- friday 22-11-96 and doors will open at 2000.
-
- Entrance fee : 100 Fim, girls and foreigners free.
-
- Boozing : Yes, we know, boozing is the (best?) part of the parties but
- we surely can't allow as free politics as last time. We won't
- confiscate your booze unless you drink it inside. We know
- that all of you don't have a car so you can have your booze
- fi. in your bag. Note! All confiscated booze will be most
- likely consumed by organizers! Let's just hope for perfect
- weather for having fun.
-
- Duncan/Damones promised to take care of boozing organization.
- Don't know what it means but I guess that at least guided
- bar tour.
-
- Be sure that you will be thrown out if we will catch
- you smoking inside.
-
- Projector : Video projector will be the same than last time. Amiga will
- be connected via tv-modulator and PC will use direct RGB
- input. Do note that you shouldn't use tricky screen modes
- since projector doesn't show 50hz modes (pc case of course).
- If you want to use it make it optional. You may test your
- product before competition. Also PA will be most likely the
- same as last time.
-
- Competitions : Again, we will have combined compos with Amiga and PC. Those
- will be naturally demo, intro, music and graphics one. There
- will be also fast compos and those are combined as well.
-
- Preliminary
- schedule : Pe 2300 music and graphics deadline
- 0100 graphics competition
- 0130 music competition
-
- La 2000 demo and intro deadline
- 0000 intro competition
- 0100 demo competition
-
- Su 0400 voting deadline
- 0600 results and reruns.
-
- Final schedule with much more events you will see
- at the party place.
-
- Machines : Amiga will be the best we can get. Most likely it
- will be 060/50 but we can guarantee at least 040/40.
- Make your product in a manner that it works on any
- processor without special tricks.
-
- PC will be Pentium 120Mhz, Matrox Millenium and
- 1MB Gus standard. We will use MS-DOS 7.0 (Win95 dos
- prompt only) for showing demos and intros. We will show
- demos with clean boot, which in this case means himem.sys
- and Scitech Display Doctor so it should be safe to use
- svga resolutions and colors.
-
- I guess that all coders know this already but do not
- assume that having scitech installed means that you
- have possibility use 24bit modes. Some cards have
- their truecolor mode done with 32bits, like Matrox
- Millenium. More precisely, don't assume any modes,
- check them before using.
-
- If you use svga graphics we strongly recommend you
- to test your production before compo in compo machine.
-
- Democompo : These are the general rules for demo competition.
-
- - Maximum file size is four megabytes. Demo may be also
- pure animation file with sound but I guess you can't
- do much in four megabytes.
-
- - If demo is just an animation it has to be in
- executable form.
-
- - Demo must work with eight megabytes of ram
- but it may take advantage of more memory.
-
- - It must not write anything to harddisk nor any other
- media.
-
- - PC demos must work also without soundcard.
-
- - Please note projector limits mentioned before.
- PC max resulution is 640x480 and Amiga max resulution
- is 640x512.
-
- Introcompo : These are the general rules for intro competition.
-
- - Same rules as in demo competition but maximum file size
- for compo version is 80 kilobytes.
-
- - Release version can be larger and it must work without
- sound.
-
- Graphics : Maximum resolution will be 640x512 with 256 colors.
- Amiga pictures will be shown with Amiga and PC pictures
- will be shown with Compushow unless you want to use other
- viewer. Please bring also the viewer with you.
-
- Music : Maximum of 32 channels are accepted. File size maximum is
- one megabyte (1048576 bytes). All contributions must be
- delivered on PC formatted disk and we will play modules with
- Cubic player. If you aren't satisfied with Cubic Players sound
- we also have the newest versions of FT2 and Capamod. Feel
- free to bring your own player. ST3 seems to have some
- problems in a machine we are going to use as a compo
- machine.
-
- Jury : There will be a different juries for all the competitions.
- All juries compose of two organizers and three randomly
- chosen Demolition visitors.
-
- Naturally jury can disqualify any product if it is
- racistic, shitty, previously released or violating any
- copyrights. In music competition it is Jurys
- opininion. Everyone can't be happy or do you wan't to
- listen all those tunes? I don't think so.
-
- Organizers will decide whether they call juries up.
- Jury will be called at least in music competition.
-
- Prizes : Well, Imagine situation if we had 10000 fim for
- prizes. I just won't say you any figures since
- it isn't sure if there will be but .. it's up to
- you! All the money left over after expenses will be
- given as prices. Organizers aren't going to be paid.

-
- !! PRIZES ARE PAID AFTERWARDS ANYWAY !!
-
- Spreading : All the productions will be released at the party place.
- All the products will be uploaded to Manowar, Triplex BBS
- and to somewhere in internet. Do note that we can't
- guarantee that productions will be available next day.
-
- Other : We will show some nice movies and old demonstrations
- on big screen. If you have any movies you would like
- to see in big screen bring it with you. We have time
- for from two to four movies.
-
- Cafe : Unlike last time there will be at least a little
- cafe selling coffee, lemonade and maybe even something
- to eat :)
-
- How to find : If you come by bus or train just watch the map included
- in invitation intro package. There is also maps in
- stations and stations aren't that far away from
- Kauppaoppilaitos unless you have much equipment. Then
- I would recommend you to take a taxi, it won't cost much.
- Don't walk over the river if you want to party place from
- stations.
-
- If you come by car it is quite easy to find it even
- without map. If you come from north to Joensuu (Kuopio,
- Jyväskylä, Kajaani) then just follow signs for Lappeenranta.
- When you drive over a river (rather large, can't miss it)
- just wait for next traffic lights and turn to right.
- Then just drive a little bit more and follow the signs
- of kauppaoppilaitos.
-
- If you come from south to Joensuu (Anything via Lappeenranta)
- just turn left in the first lights in Joensuu and then
- follow the signs of kauppaoppilaitos.
