Our voting system is prepped, I shall be turning on voting at midnight (CET)!
https://pollunit.com/en/polls/c64gfxcharsetlogocompo2024
Please let me know if you would like to participate in voting - ALL CSDb registered users can join. Just send me your handle and email address through PM or at raistlin@c64demo.com.
You'll love the voting system, honestly, it's soooooo smooth. I just test-voted ALL the entries, doing a "gut reaction" mark-out-of-ten, and it took me less than 5mins!
Good luck everyone! |

By the way, for anyone wondering how I'm validating entries..
1) for any where $d011 is set to char-mode (eg. $1b) or ECM ($5b), I just check for writes to $d000-d3ff (VIC and shadow-registers) at run-time .. some logos are using IRQs, so hitting $d019, and then not doing anything else - this is of course totally fine. If a logo was changing $d018, $d011, $d016 or other on various raster lines, that would of course not be fine. Some displayers might set these every frame - totally fine so long as the values NEVER CHANGE (repeatedly setting $d018 to $18 doesn't harm anyone);
2) where $d011 is set to bitmap mode, it's harder. We need to do a deeper dive to be sure that the logo is -possible- in charset mode. In future maybe easier to ask for the executable to use char-mode.. but anyway. These logos must use 256 chars or less. One logo in particular hit bang-on 256 chars .. but in a popular conversion tool was showing as 257. 256 -was- definitely possible, though, as "blank" chars aren't needed - they can be blanked by setting the screen colour value to match the background (so long as the background is a 0-7 colour).
So, yeah, someone had suggested that I post onto each pic a count of the number of chars used. IMO, this isn't necessary - it's enough to just agree whether or not each logo meets the criteria. |

Perhaps the "steps required to vote"-flow could be made more clear? I tried myself but failed on the first attempt.
> ALL CSDb registered users can join. Just send me your handle and email address through PM or at raistlin@c64demo.com.
I tried to login to Pollunit with my Google account but was not allowed to vote. Do we need to register with handle on Pollunit? Or can you add it somehow? SSO with csdb? =)
Thanks! |

Sorry! Anyone wishing to vote just needs to give me their email address - over PM here is easier (so that I know your handle from CSDb) :-) |
