Image Description, by
Text Mode Demo Competition 4 is over.
Text mode demos offer unique challenges for the demo maker which play a very
insignificant role in other kinds of demo competitions. First of all,
resolution and color spaces are rather limited, forcing the demo authors to
consider different forms of anti-aliasing and careful adjustment of contrast
and color balance.
Contrast and color balance play a very large role in describing depth, as
can be seen from the above screenshots - you can clearly see that the winner
has succeeded in this much better than the others.
Here are the results -
1. Super Killer by dairos, nula, para, raist, stonda, tpp

2. contact by portal project

The competition pages are at http://taat.fi/tmdc/
All of the demos run under Windows2000 console, being the first batch of
textmode demos to do so. If you missed the contest, don't despair - TMDC5
will be held this year, as well, and the deadline is the more traditional
11.11.02. More information will be published on the www.taat.fi website
closer to the deadline.
