I'm being dense, what size can the gfx be for the 512 pix comp, is 16x32 a valid res ?

Two weeks to go is a rather short notice, unfortunately.
But thanks for also giving fantasy consoles the value they deserve.

Most of you reading pouet.net are grizzled veterans of course... but maybe you are a gfx artist and want to try your hand at coding something tiny, or maybe you have some non-demoscene friends that you suspect might enjoy becoming one of us. ๐Ÿ˜„

Anyway, we invite you to join the 256 byte

On the topic of "getting started doing 256 byte demos", since Jan 1 we've been doing a daily 256 byte invitation, slowly counting down towards Lovebyte.

Todays invitation was crafted by none other than Sir Garbagetruck ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™‚๏ธ

Need details about the Oldschool vs Highscool Highend compo; what are the specific requirements. Does oldschool mean platform. I.e. will all Windows productions only be allowed in High-End regardless of Shader / Non-shader code?

And very good! Maybe I'll finally learn something on the zx! ;)

๐Ÿ˜„ If Superogue misses out on some great tricks, maybe you can do a mini-seminar on those for the next event?
I guess my very poor English will be a bigger obstacle than my poor coding skills ;)
