Title: Next comp

I hope that your one-liners are all under development :)

I'm giving advance warning of the competition that will follow because I suspect that a reasonable amount of development lead time will be needed.

The next one will be for the 128's CP/M mode - a demo showcasing the graphic capabilities of that mode in particular. (including sound if you like - therefore a game is in scope).

That should test everyone :) As well, the prize money will be fairly significant for that competion, but instead of a 1st, 2nd & 3rd there will only be a 1st - $AUD500.

Almost $342 US... quite a significant amount.

Sounds like a job for the CP/M User Club Germany at  http://www.cpmclub.de/  Commodore users are in that club.

              Merry Christmas!
