      Comp Details:

      4 files were required:

      A quicktime movie of 36 frames showing one sprite revolution,
      Maximum size 96x96 pixels.
      A standard 100x100 yard picture in standard 8bit macOS colours

      A 300x300 pixel, millions of colours view or scene of the ship.
      Anything goes, designers choice. (jpg with max quality)

      A paragraph describing the ship by the designer.

      Designers can enter up to two ships.

      This format was chosen to keep the competition website to a manageable size (MBs cost $). The small sprite size is also a test of skill in producing good looking small graphics. The 8 bit yard picture is also a test of technical skill, to get a rendering to look good under a limited graphics environment. The 300x300 scene is where the designer can go crazy and show off all their imagination, in 32 bit colour!.|reg
