TRANSITION CHALLENGE
Welcome To the transition challenge!
How many times have you watched a really cool multi-part demo and been blown away at it's design and how each part translates beautifully into the next?
There are many many groups that achieve these beautiful transitions between parts, some are simple cross-fades between scenes, others are way more complicated.
A great example of a demo with excellent transitions is here : LIFE FORCE BY ASD (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=31571) Just take a look at how seamless this demo is.
And before you get worried, the challenge this time is not to make a demo as huge as lifeforce (though feel free to if you want), but to achieve some nice transitions.
You could code just one transition if you don't have a lot of time, you could code many!
You can code transitions between effects, or even pictures, it's up to you but the most beautiful ones will win!
Here are the rules!
- Allowed Platform : Win32 PC. (if emulator used the emulator must be compatible with current win32 platforms).
- Your entry must include at least one transition between a picture/effect , picture/picture , effect/effect, scene/scene.
- Morphing text / effects count as transitions, for example a page of text that explodes into dots and forms different text is ok.
- Any freely available emulator is allowed, IE. Winaue, Yabasic, Saint, Vice, Dosbox etc.
- Any language that runs on Win32 (Including browsers / emulators) is allowed.

So we are back onto our regular fodder of demo effect challenges, yes, this has been launched before the game challenge is over, but I am sure that we're all itching to get stuck into a new challenge by now.
Also, this one is so open ended, you can really let your imagination fly!
With this in mind, we have increased the maximum allowed entries to 4!
Good luck people! May the best transition win!
