WatchLive-Coding at Revision 2023
Friday, 2023-04-07 CEST
Shader Showdowns are a high-energy, graphically impressive competitive visual livecoding contest. Since its inception in 2013 at WeCan, the Shader Showdown format has grown in popularity amongst different demoparties across the world and Revision in particular. Two programmers facing off live on stage to code GLSL shader effects from scratch with no outside assistance with a DJ supporting them with pumping beats. The crowd gets to watch both shaders evolve in parallel on the big screen, enjoying the action and cheering on the participants. The objective is simple: At the end of the 25 minutes, whoever gets more cheers from the spectators wins. During the years of the pandemic the demoscene live coding community took the concept online and widened the possible formats to include more simultaneous participants, possibility of remote collaborations, the concept of laidback jam sessions (without the stress of getting voted out) and even using new environments like the TIC80 fantasy console. At this Revision, we’ll have 3 live coding events open for participation: 3-way Shader Showdown (live presence) TIC80 jam session (live presence) Shader Royale VJ session (live and remote) 3-WAY SHADER SHOWDOWN Bracket elimination tournament with rounds of 3 contestants per round (instead of the usual 2 contestants per round). Same rules as the traditional Shader Showdown: Every battle lasts 25 minutes, and you have to write all code from scratch. All code has to be written in GLSL using the latest version of BONZOMATIC A set of textures will be provided for each round. The computers will default to EN-US keymap - if you need something specific, let us know beforehand. Competitors are welcome to bring their own keyboard (without memory function). Semi-finals will take place on Friday, the final on Saturday. Commentators will be discussing and explaining your code during the sessions while a DJ is playing some pumping beats. TIC80 JAM SESSION Before the Shader Showdown final on Saturday we will host a 1 hour livecode jam session on the main stage where participants can use the TIC80 fantasy console programming environment (special fork version with an FFT function to respond to sound). The session is open to anyone who can code LUA, you can bring a friend to help you and even swap out with someone else from the audience if you are out of ideas. Low pressure live coding just for fun. SHADER ROYALE VJ SESSION On Saturday between compo blocks DJ h0ffman will play a flaming hot set to keep people entertained. As visuals for his set we will host a massive shader royale jam session where anyone in the world from the active demoscene live coding community watching remotely, or even present at the party place using their own laptops, can join coding visuals in GLSL using the latest version of Bonzomatic. Expect dozens of participants live-coding their shaders, you can use any previous material you have previously prepared or just code something from scratch. You can also leave at any moment, and we will just keep showing the latest version of your shader before you left the session. The creations will be shown on rotation at the big screen throughout the DJ set. OPEN CALL FOR COMPETITORS We’re looking for volunteers to participate in all of these events! To participate please send an e-mail to the Revision hotline address or contact ps directly (psenough#2969 on discord).

The traditional SPORT(ish) event you all love will finally happen on site again: The exhausting and fun 5k Run! Come with us for a refreshing morning boost, touring the Saar river as you go! Did anything change along the way? Is the beer&schnapps break still there? Only one way to find out! RSVP to the Onsite Club Event And don’t worry: if you’re stuck at home, or participating at one of the Satellites, we still got you covered! All you need to do is put on your running gear, RSVP to the Offsite Club Event , and sign up for the Strava April 5K run challenge. Also, feel free to upload pictures from your run on social media with the #revision5krun tag, and don’t forget that beer&schnapps break halfway!

WatchBehind the Scenes Tours
Saturday, 2023-04-08 CEST
If you'd like to take a look behind the scenes to find out where all the orga magic happens, there will be Q&A tours of various orga areas held by the responsible organizers. Prior sign-up for these is not necessary - the times they will take place can be found in the timetable and the start of each tour will also be announced at the party place individually. Meetup point for each tour will be the infodesk. Watch out for a person holding an orange flag! (Only exception is the “Seminars, Recording, Postprocessing” tour - go to the seminar room directly!) Information: for the Beamteam tour, two slots are offered, as the space at their working area is quite limited. So, if you can’t catch a spot one the first tour, there’s a second chance.
Morning Glory with dojoe & D.Fox
Sunday, 2023-04-09 11:00 CEST
Do you miss the good old days of Revision Online where dojoe and D.Fox woke you up with some recaps, music and general banter and maybe some guests? No? Well tough luck, because they are BACK, and they have some stories to tell while we all get our first dose of caffeine (or whatever you need to get up in the morning). It’ll be a nice way to wake up, we promise. Prepare to be glorified on Sunday morning, April 9th at 11:00 CEST!
