Hey acorn demogroups out there -
D O Y O U R C O N T R I B U T I O N T O T H E
A C O R N D E M O - C O M P E T I T I O N !!!
Only if there are at least 4 acorn demos taking part at the compo prices
will be given. In this case the first price will probably be a new Acorn
RiscPC sponsored by Acorn!!! So come on and do your best! At time of
writing this text 2 demos have already been announced!
The following systems are available for running your demo:
1) Archimedes A3010, ARM250, 4MB RAM (12MHz)
2) RiscPC 600, ARM610 30MHz, 4MB RAM, 2MB VRAM, 486sx-33 PC Card, 8Bit Sound
3) RiscPC 700, ARM710 50MHz, 16MB RAM, 2MB VRAM, 486sx-33 PC Card, 16Bit Sound
Due to the hardware of the video beamer your demo have to run in a PAL or
a VGA/SuperVGA screenmode. You MUST NOT do any hardware-tricks by altering
the horizontal or vertikal screenfreqency. Your demo should not take more
than 4 MB of harddisc space. Demos that already have been released are not
allowed to join the competition.
Hurry up and finish your demo - there isn't much time left! And if everything
fails - finish it there, at the Symposium Party!!!!!!!!!! :)

The intro of this party invitation effect is a 100000 colour plasma effect.
It is done by raster colours and colour interlacing. Therefore it doesn`t
work on VIDC20 machines. Sorry! :( But I think the RiscPC-owners didn`t miss
anything: What are 100000 colours on an Archimedes compared to 16777216
colours on a RiscPC!? :)
But if you are in property of a RiscPC and want to see this plasma effect
anyway - join the Symposium 96 party!!! I will be there with my Archimedes.
Okidoki - see you at Symposium 96.
