Executable

If you want your demo to be shown in full size you have to make sure it runs in 1920x1080 resolution. Best way to achieve this is to include a resolution and aspect selector in your demo/intro. You can also deliver different executables of your 4k/64k intro if you have filesize troubles.

Platforms

Windows is currently the only PC platform “supported” by us. If you plan to release a Mac OS X, Linux, or Amiga entry, please contact us before the party to make sure we can play it somehow. Please consider entering a Windows port of your demo. If that is not possible, we cannot guarantee that your demo will be displayed in 16:9 ratio etc. - for any other platform (what we endorse really much), there is the Interactive competition.
