Extreme Graphics & Music

Extreme Graphics and Music rules

Besides demos and intros code can create beautiful music and images. The Extreme compos at ASSEMBLY extend the art of tiny code from intros to pure streaming music and still graphics. No matter the platform, the work is only limited in size. For music we allow any executables and MOD files for desktop and oldskool platforms as long as they are 32768 bytes or less in size. The graphics limits are 4kB for desktop platforms and 40kB for oldskool platforms.

For avoidance of doubt, multiple entries per author is allowed.

Extreme music competition

• The tune must be an executable file or it must be playable with the platform. Check the Oldskool and Desktop platform rules. You can also deliver the music as a Protracker MOD module.
