Intro/demo general rules:

If your program doesn't run on the compo machine, it will be disqualified automatically.

Of course you'll have a chance to try it out and fix, if you are able to. If you bring your own hardware you will still have to give us a binary of your release, which will be published, and no, there won't be any exceptions. As Winfdows Vista came out, in case of PC entry try to be compatible (however there will be no Vista on the compo machine), the same stands for nVidia/ATI videocards, if possible try to make it work on both. Max resolution is 1280x720, if you support more modes, we will choose this.

Tracked/Streaming Music:

There will be no separate tracked and streaming category, everything will be combined. Only one entry per musician is allowed. The maximum playing time is 4 min.
