The AMSCII Compo (short for 'Amstrad ASCII Compo') began in 2021. After demonstrating the possibility of creating ASCII-based artwork on Amstrad CPC computers using the Exporter for Playsci, this competition has showcased the potential of the Amstrad CPC's character set for creating fantastic artwork. The main goal has been achieved. Whether there will be further competitions depends on the community. Currently, there are no new compos planned. However, this could change if enough people request one.
Feel free to check out the compos that have been held so far. Below, you will find (mainly organizational) information on the 4th ASCII Compo.
Cheers, Logiker
40 years, Amstrad CPC!
4 years, Amstrad ASCII Compo!
Let's celebrate it with great AMSCII artworks. Maybe you want to create some Amstrad CPC themed ASCII picture?
If there will be several of them (>3) it might turn into an additional sub compo. We'll see...
Create your own AMSCII art and enjoy the limits of retro computing.
This event is held online and possibly partially in Carinthia, southern Austria.
