I'm happy to announce the 18th edition of the pseudoannual Text Mode Demo Compo!

It's all back: late invitro, lame diplomas and cool super-low-resolution demos for a screen mode that can't be natively used without a 10yrs old OS!

Grab the invite here, get inspired, make something cool!

Have a look at the official site for the rules, dates, links to tools & libs & other useful stuff!

Do I recall correctly there were textmode-to-raster-wrappers that allowed fullscreen viewing above Win7?

That download is broken :(

Also, in place of the broken link, the github

linky for the first warper :)

was more interested in finding those links for the engines / converters to textmode with examples and toolchains to get started making instead of viewing :p

seems to all be on the site actually

So, it's OK to submit during 12th of December or did I parse the rules wrong?

its probably ok to submit at the 1st of jan ;)

Yup, the 12th is included :)

@wysiwtf: 1st jan will be too late! :P

To all: this is the last day to submit something.

In the past we've granted an update week, and we'll honor this tradition once again. What it means is: you send the best version you've got so far. Then during the update week, you can spend some time polishing or bug fixing. For example, maybe you tested it only on your machine, and on mine it's gonna crash. I'll tell you so as soon as I get/test your prod, and we can use the extra time to debug/fix.

R E S U L T S !
here.

Big big thanks to those who contributed, either by making demos or by judging.
This wasn't the bigger year, but seeing new faces in the textmode world is always great!

For those who haven't watched the entries already, do it now!

textmode! :)

Thanks for the prize! It's super cool.
