HONORARY MENTION
Chaos Theory
Barna Buza, Zoltan Szabo , Gergely Szelei


“One Constant Remains.”

An up-tempo, high-energy journey through various representations of entropy – all compressed into a 64-kilobyte computer program.

Chaos Theory is a real-time-calculated computer animation using the same techniques modern computer games use to display their graphics. Moreover it creates all the content using algorithmic solutions so it can fit into an amazing 65536 bytes – including music and all the visuals. The original executable can be found at http://www.conspiracy.hu.

About the intro

Apparently we finished another 64k … Except that all of us are extremely satisfied with it. (Then again there’s probably always a first time.)

Hard to believe that all it took to have an intro that’s fun to make and enjoyable to watch (for us) was around +50 BPM. Sorry there are no deep emotions or touching scene poetry this time; we thought it was time to do something else. Interestingly, losing BP06 and breaking the winning streak helped the creative process immensely – freedom is AWESOME.

We’re apparently going against (among others) Farbrausch, Fairlight, and Kewlers in the 64k compo. Hard to say what chances we have, but one thing’s for sure: we’re really, really happy with our intro already, so from now on it can only get better.
