TMDC 8 Invitation has been released on http://www.taat.fi/tmdc.

TMDC is a pseudo-annual demo-making contest held over the internet. TMDC8 is yet again organized by tAAt ry, registered non-commercial organization in Finland, which aims to promote demo-making culture.

Text mode demos offer unique challenges for the demo maker which play a very insignificant role in other kinds of demo competitions. First of all, resolution and color spaces are rather limited, forcing the demo authors to consider different forms of anti-aliasing and careful adjustment of contrast and color balance.

Additionally the demo authors will not have any hardware-assisted rendering, forcing them to create their own rasterization methods, while giving them a huge amount of CPU power per pixel. Things like per-pixel real-time raytracing are a realistic choice in text mode demos.
I've heard that there are many experienced developers on PGD. Well, now is the chance to show that this wasn't just a bunch of empty words! No fancy artwork from your favorite artist will be of any help here; no third-party library like SDL or DelphiX will be able to assist you; it's all about [size=18px]your skill[/size]. Take Delphi or Free Pascal and show the evil C/C++ empire what a [size=18px]Pascal Programmer[/size] can do!
