Copy Party Orneta '96

• music competition - presented 23 works
• gfx competition - presented 22 works
• intro competition - presented 6 intros
• demo competition - presented 4 demos

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 a 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. "Nasze grzyby dorownuja, a pod niektorymi wzgledami przewyzszaja zgnile grzyby zachodnie" by Quasimodos (595 points)
