[TUM 2006 Report]
Being held close to the end of 2006, the ultimate meeting was my
last Party for this year. Once again the real family met in
Karlsruhe and had a good time. As a senior guest of TUM I
noticed that each year you can find more ATARIans there. This
time I counted six ATARI sceners, one ATARI geek-girl and one
Jaguar scener. You could meet Havoc who spent most of his time
with the Limp Ninja crew inside the center of the hall, while
twh, earx, remo, JeanYvu and me were gathered on the slightly
elevated balustrade at the long sides of the place. Since he had
to work, Lotek Style was only able to visit on Thursday night,
while the compos were running. Besides there was also Kami68K
(Atari Jaguar scener) with his girlfriend, ready to fight in the
retro compo here and there.
As a debut twh and me installed an Atari XEGS, jammed QUIX
inside and announced a retro gaming compo. Everybody was invited
to join and in the end we had nine competitors. Since I trained
that game like nothing else for the last 600 years it was no
surprise that I was the lonely winner of our own compo :) with a
score of 144K within the first fifteen minutes. TwH tried two
days to beat that score, but he never succeeded. Thursday night,
when I was dead tired, I managed to beat my own record, so in
the end I won with a score of 153K. AFAIR the QUIX compo winner
from Error In Line had 227K, but who cares? I was satisfied with
my score, since it was good enough to beat twh (or "atari guy",
but we will get to that topic later :) He became 2nd with 90K
and JeanYvu reached the 3rd place with 77K. She achieved her
record when we wanted to pack up the machine, anyway with a bit
of luck she could have gotten the 2nd place. It was a nice compo
and we will try to carry on with mini-events like that at some
more parties in 2007 :)
Like usual earx was busy coding some stuff on hi GP2X, besides
he helped me setting up a development tool-chain. Since I urged
twh to buy a GP2X as well, we had three Gameparks in a row,
which should be a rare "coincidence" for most parties :)
Next to our little GP2X club some guys called Neoscientists were
working on a PS2 demo. Their low level routines were done in
assembler but they used LUA scripts to control the demo and put
everything together. JCO told me he knows at least one other guy
coding in LUA and it seemed almost like a mass hysteria to me :)
While coding a bit on my NonConForm language (or engine or
library, whatever) I received some good hints and advices from
the neoscientists. Besides I noticed that their LUA engine works
quite similar to mine.
During the party, Remo and JeanYvu did some interview recordings
for their university radio. JeanIvu told me, that it was
interesting, that there was only one scener who was able to look
directly into her eyes during the interview. Damned, nowadays
there are so many geek-girls present at parties, that they
already found out, that some (most) male sceners have a
behavioural disorder. (especially the C-64 guys who played tunes
with porn content in Bavarian dialect the whole night, when I
tried to sleep)
Before the compos, Jco made a live performance of his songs
combined with video clips, and we all enjoyed it.
For the compos, twh did his first party release ever. He
participated in the "disco style effect" and scored the 5th
place out of 9. He made a small demo which looks like an
animation. Anyway it's still technically interesting, because he
generated a dynamic display list for each screen. When TwH's
entry was shown on the big screen, the organizers where unable
to properly operate an ATARI 800 emulator. The only thing we
could see was the famous "Boot Error" for an extended slice of
time :) Then an announcement echoed through the big hall: "...
ehh... atari guy... please come to the beamteam". Hehe, I guess
even the last one in the hall got the message, that an ATARI
entry was coming up next. Besides since that moment twh got a
new nickname called "atari guy" for us :)
Besides twh another Atari scener participated in some compo at
TUM. Limp Ninja featuring "yaka/xography" made the 1st place in
"Madenmann's Boris Vallejo Conversion Compo" with the picture
titled "Madenmann adores Scamp", congratulations! (See
http://www.pouet.net/topic.php?which=3662 to get an impression
:) There were 15 other entries but somehow this compo is missing
from the compo results file so far, perhaps because the end of
the compo matched with the beginning of the price giving
ceremony. I hope at least the other entries will surface
somewhere on the web soon, so far there is nothing to be seen at
pouet.net or scene.org.
However, Havoc still denies any late night activity with
photoshop: "perhaps my sleepwalking problems got worse? ... I
tend to stumble over a mouse and Photoshop for about 2 hours,
it's really weird". Havoc further explains: "I was peacefully
sleeping Friday morning, and when i woke up people claimed i had
been on stage to collect a prize from Madenmann, which I'm sure
I didn't or at least i think so :P"
Well last not least, JeanYvu (girlfriend of Remo / tSCc.)
participated in the Modern style graphics competition and scored
the 3rd place. She won her first prize at a demo party ever,
congratulations JeanYvu. (See http://surl.se/pib )
The compos were quite nice, but not outstanding. But TUM is much
better known for the relaxed atmosphere "between the years" than
for it's compos. After three days of fun, we all were happy to
have another day to write this report and to sleep before we
start celebrating the new year.
