 Right, hello and welcome to the FieldFX demo party result. So we ran a demo party in a field and here are the results. If you've got an IDent, use it. So it's been a very busy weekend. We've done quite a lot. We've done the introduction to the demo scene by Crypt. We've had a byte jam and a stator jam. Thank you to all the participants. Evil did a workshop. Do you even write shaders, bro? Which was awesome and absolutely packed. And then we ran the demo computers yesterday. So yeah, it's been a very busy weekend. Oh, and microphone closer. Sorry about that. Yeah. So yeah, it's been a busy weekend. Introduction to the demo scene by Crypt. We've had a byte jam and a stator jam. And Evil, do you even write shaders, bro? Workshop, which was absolutely packed. And then we had the demo party yesterday, which was, yeah, loads of entries. So it's been a very busy weekend. Yep. So we're going to show the results. No, no, no. We're just going to show the short clips. Oh, we're going to show short clips. Right. Of the... Oh, sweet. Thank you. Yeah, we're going to show you some short clips from the byte jam and shader jam, which I hope some of you got to see in person. It was a really amazing night. Turbach, an awesome sort of newcomer to the scene in the past sort of a couple of years. We had Gasman, who I don't know, I don't know if you know, who brought it out of an absolutely amazing sort of Star Wars themed shader. You know what, not shader, but effect. You know, when you realise you're going to say Star Trek when you mean Star Wars and you have to stop yourself and go... We had shaders from Evil. Absolutely incredible effects with some sinister worms. We had shader from... This one was Totent Man, I think, if it plays. Yes, it was. This is Totent Man's effect, The Bouncing Rainbow. All of these things, by the way, everything here was sort of pretty much created within the space of 20 minutes. The shader folk were all playing together. The bytes effects were all made together, Gasman and Turbach sitting together, and they just sort of spontaneously create these effects. It's a really cool sort of creative talent. Oh, we got a little bit of sound on this one. This was Monster Slaves. So big shout out to everybody who did the live coding on Friday night. So next we have the competitions. Hopefully. So the first competition that we had was the Young Field Effects competition, which was... Basically, anybody who's 15 or under can take parts. We had, I think, a 10-year-old and two 13-year-olds taking part. Really amazing creative work. The slide viewer is in a mystery place. Let me try. Can we go here and do that? No, that does not work. Okay, I can display it in the wrong window. I have tested this just not on this system, I promise. Live viewer. Bring up the slide viewer. Open viewer. Yeah. Okay, this works. So for the results, we had... Third was Lightning is Coming by Fluttershy of the Unstoppable Hacker Bunch, or To Hoop. Second was Demon Diner by Purple Ninja, and first was Ladybug Drying Her Skirt by Dragon Gold of To Hoop. I'm just getting to a flow here. Don't worry. I've got the... Here we go. My display manager now does not like me. I think I might have too many things going on that full screen window. Let me just try. So one of the things you end up doing at a demo party is winging it a lot, and so this is just another sample of the experience. Yep, there's always technical difficulties. And this was Dragon Gold's photo entry. Congratulations to Dragon Gold there. Next up is going to be the microcontroller demo, microcontroller compo. Do you want to talk about that? Yep. So we decided to have a microcontroller and badge compo because everyone at EMF normally gets a badge, so we thought it would be a good platform to make a demo on. So here is the compo for it. Yeah. Number two, Hello World by Retroids. That was a very, very, very late last minute entry. It was literally entered at the party, so it was a really good score considering it wasn't necessarily on our system while some people were voting. That was a tiny little micro controller. Number one was Picobleeps by Molyv, which I actually have here. We hope. So this is a device. It is a MakerPie Pico. Can you plug it in? Getting into it. So it's a music disc. You can, there's a button on it and you can cycle the tracks, which is kind of amazing. So yeah, that was Molyv Picobeats. So congratulations to Molyv. Thank you. Next up we had the graphics compo. And there was quite a few entries I think for this, so we're just kind of ticked through it. Congratulations to everybody in here. This is all awesome stuff. But first place was Time to Eat by Mop of Alcatraz. The title is Time to Eat, and it's not saying Time to Eat Mop of Alcatraz. If you're not familiar, by the way, with the way sort of demo scene names work, you typically, you know, you have a creative handle that sort of describes who you are as a person. So that'd be Mop. And then quite often people are in a group. I'm Aldroid of Slipstream, Mop of Alcatraz. Alcatraz work together and they make pods together. And generally, you know, it's a social gathering thing. They're not actually from the place Alcatraz. Oh yeah, I forgot. I've only just done this. Macintosh. Allow me to do what I want. So yeah, this is a piece of German salami. Which is pretty amazing. I think what's incredible about this is it looks like a render, but it's a photo. It's just so perfectly captured as a, you know, as a set of shapes. So yeah, big ups to Mop of Alcatraz. So I've got to make the noise. So what's a wild competition? A wild competition is a wild competition. It is a competition that you make anything goes really. So whatever you want, you can enter it. Typically, you get like people filming like various weird things with retro hardware that normally wouldn't fit any other category. But really anything goes. It's an amazing compo. And there were lots of entries. So yeah, run through them. Yeah. So Koki on the air by Slipstream was a local radio station. If you think these things have got a broad reach. Typical dystopical by checks of HPM. I think it was animation. Boombox Spooky by Strauss and TCM was animation. Freaks by TCM. Slipstream with artwork from other people who contributed. I'll just show that for you. So that was a no to phone freaking by TCM of Slipstream. So that was, yeah, an amazing entry. Thank you. Apologies for cutting some of these short. I appreciate this schedule. Just the most unfair. Let's do music. They're quite a good selection of entries here as well. A bit of GABA from Power Gold. Like a bit of GABA. So the winner was Midi Memories by Tobacco. Slipstream, 86 for 8. Congratulations, Wales. Slipstream have been sort of growing in the UK scene quite a lot recently. So it's not just one person making lots of things. There's a few of us, but we're all in a crew together. What are we doing again? Oh yeah, we're playing some music. So next up we have a competition that didn't have quite as many entries as we were expecting. So this is the UK Garage Compo. And yeah, so they didn't get as many entries as we expected, but awesome, none of this. It's Garage Garage Viva Coon Violets. Let's be clear, it's a banger. Like this is well deserved in it. Like even on a sort of, you know, even one with 10, 10 entries, it'd still be well deserved. Cut that a little bit short because we are running out of time, but that's fantastic. So next up we have the Fantasy 128 Bite Compo. This wasn't going to be a compo, but then Superroot, a Dutch demo sceneer, said he had five entries for us from different people, so we decided to have this compo. So thank you very much, Superroot. Nope, we're in the wrong bean mode. So I should mention 128 Bite is actually pretty much translates to 128 characters. So if you can imagine like how much code you can get into this sort of less than a tweet, some of this stuff is absolutely unbelievable when you think about it in that. Here we are, results. That's what we wanted. Joint Sixth had a couple entries, Clicky Top Up and Mantrotronic. Authentic by Dressed and Boy. Cut was Fourth Law. It was Magnetic Wave by the Watcher of Unstoppable Hackabunch. And Silo's by Marquis Design, and this is incredible. This is real-time ray-casting and ray-tracing in 128 bytes. It's a really quiet technical achievement. Very good result. We've got just two competitions left, so I think we might just manage to be in time schedule. Yeah, that was amazing. Thank you, Marquis Design. I keep doing this. I keep loading the Compo entries. So this is the fancy Compo. This is what we originally had. The fancy Compo means basically a modern console emulator sort of device like Tic 80 pick away where you can make things like an Honor Vintage console, but modern. So these are the results. So we had an invite for MCH, May Contain Hackers, which is awesome. Had in bloom by Dave84, and we had We Flew O'Kite in the Public Place by Gasman of Hui Programme, who you may have heard of. I think there might be something up in that capture, but anyone who was at Gasman's gig last night or at FieldFX will probably have seen a lot more kite than was present in that. So I'm not sure where they're from there, but apologies to Gasman for that. Definitely check it out and like definitely check the video if you weren't there or Gasman's set last night because that was amazing. We're down to one more Compo. What's the remaining Compo? The Demo Compo. So this is the main Compo, so yeah. This is also one of my sub-sams and Manitronic synths in Skoll by Ice Lake, Purple Ninja and Tobak. You wouldn't buy only. And the winner is the Green Machine by Slipstream. Now the Green Machine is quite special because it's written for the Dragon32 and there are not that many Dragon32 demos in the world. There's not that many Dragon32's in the world. It was a Welsh microcontroller. Well, computer, sorry. We've been doing this too long and just the words are merging into one. I'm going to see forward a little bit just because. So the second bit where Alex skipped was actually side B. The tape was on two sides. Yeah, I got to say one of the, I'm just going to quickly score that back, one of the big challenges of making something for the Dragon, which is the reason that I think not many people want to do it, is that color scheme is really impressive to work with. So Tobak and Ando both just absolutely knocked out of the park by doing these things that actually look quite nice and pleasant to look at. Also very vividly. That is the end of the competitions. Thank you so much for watching. Yeah, so thank you. Thanks to all the amazing EMF organizers and volunteers. You are all amazing. This place is incredible. Thanks to all the shader, jam and byte, jam contestants, you are incredible. Thanks to Evil for the, do you even write shaders pro workshop? That was amazing. Thanks for the amazing talk on the introduction to the demo scene. Thanks to everyone that's entered. Thanks to everyone else that we have missed. And finally, thank you all for coming and taking part. Thank you so much. And thank you, the Allyssey as well for organizing pretty much the most wild party.
