64b Hugi Xmas Compo
The 64b Hugi Xmas Compo is now over. You can download the entries with their source codes and the voting results here:

http://www.pouet.net/party.php?which=1323&when=06
Below follow the rules of the compo:
You are hereby invited to participate in the 64b Hugi Xmas Compo.
This compo is different than the usual Hugi size coding compo. Here
you're encouraged to show off your creativity in 64 bytes. Since this is
new, the rules are relaxed and the results will not be recorded in
the World League Table.
Send your entries to Adok at: cdvolko@gmx.net
You may send as many different entries as you like, but they must be
received on or before midnight (Central European Time) December 24, 2006 (Christmas eve).
Adok may tell you if your entry does not work on his computer, thus
giving you the chance to fix it.
After the deadline, Adok will package up all the entries and send them to
each participant.
There will be a one-week judgment period were the participants get to
vote for their favorites. Vote for your choice of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. You
may not, however, vote for your own entry (or entries). Points will be
awarded as follows:
1st place: 11 points
2nd place: 7 points
3rd place: 5 points
(This is the method used at the Assembly party.)
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners will be posted on the Internet, along with
the points awarded to each.
RULES
You must submit your source code along with your executable. The
executable (presumably a .com file -- .bat files are not acceptable) must
not exceed 64 bytes in length. The source code (presumably an .asm file)
may be of any length.
Entries must work on Adok's computer.
You may name your entry whatever you like, although it must not depend on
its name; for example, it must still work if it's renamed.
Your entry cannot depend on its source code to run. In other words, your
entry must work even if its source code file is not loaded into the
computer. (No cheating! :-)
It goes without saying, but your entry must not harm a computer. It must
not write to the drive. Entries must run from write-protected floppy
diskettes under Windows XP.
There are no restrictions on MMX instructions or Windows calls, however
if your entry does not run on a variety of machines, it's not likely to
get many votes.
Your entry may run in an infinite loop. It's not necessary (although
desirable) to provide a method for terminating an entry, such as by
hitting the Esc key. (Under Windows, it's easy enough to terminate any
program with Alt+Enter, etc.)
Your work should be original. For instance, don't rip off one of these
great examples at Pouet:

CONCLUSION
The bottom line is that the rules are somewhat flexible. It's you, the
voters, who get to decide what's good and what's not.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to bring them up
on this email list.
Even if you don't come in first, don't be disappointed, because in the
end we're all winners for the great coding tricks we'll get to learn.
Cheers!
