Copy Party Orneta '96

As usual in the beginning of August, QuaST Copy Party has been organized in Orneta. It lasted from 1st to 4th of August. There were organized four competitions: This time votes have been exactly counted and detailed results are available. It is also very probable that partro will be made.

As about intro competitions, two of six presented intros have been very good. First of them - "Drunk Chessboard" contains many effects based on moving chessboards - known from "Cool Emotion" and "Shake!" demos. Some of these effects are hard to believe. When I first saw this demo I was sure it is on some bigger Atari (ST or Falcon), because they were also present on the party. Second intro - "Recycle" by Taquart contains effects coded by LBS to planned Taquart's demo. Unfortunatelly, they haven't been able to finish entire demo (or maybe even trackmo) so they presented only intro. Results of the intro competition:

  1. Drunk Chessboard by Infinity (1214 points)
  2. Recycle by Taquart (1143 points)
  3. The Break by BLB/Cobra (909 points)
  4. Bobs Land by Bit Busters (650 points)
  5. Waves by Bit Busters (583 points)
  6. Belmondo Demo 2 by Qbek/OHP (296 points)

Four demos have acceded to demo competition. One of them was "Asskicker" by Shadows, which was considered as certain winner. Its preview version has been shown before on the Atari Silesian Open in December 1995 and people remembered its great effects (Gourand, textures, Wolfenstein 3D). Shadows even added two effects - motion blur and Phong shaded torus! This demo can shock not only Atari 8bit users, but also Amiga and PC coders - it's hard to believe that these effects are possible to code on 8bit machine with clock 1.77 MHz! As usual, their demo presented Quasimodos, but they haven't menaged to finish real demo, so they have shown only kind of joke. Two other demos are debuts of two other groups - Pentagram and MEC. Final results:

  1. Asskicker by Shadows (1362 points)
  2. Raving Vieprz by Pentagram (788 points)
  3. Rotten Juice by MEC (724 points)
  4. Polskie grzyby dorownuja, a pod wieloma wzgledami przewyzszaja zgnile grzyby zachodnie by Quasimodos (595 points)
