This year we are turning it up a notch with three categories to choose from.
All challenges are non competitive and purely for the fun of it, so do not be shy. All contributions are welcome at Buxton Bytes.
The gathering itself takes place from 8 - 11 May 2026. We will watch all entries together at the event, and everything will then be released afterwards via the usual channels.
Can we beat last year’s haul? Let’s find out.
CHALLENGE 1 - SAMPLE DISK
You know the score. Make us a sample disk.
The only rule is that all data must fit on a single disk. Please prove this by submitting your entry as a .MSA or .ST file.
ST, STe, Falcon, TT and others are all welcome. Use 68k, STOS, GFA, Omicron or whatever you like. We really do not mind.
CHALLENGE 2 - INTRO WITH RIPPED ASSETS
Submit an intro that uses ripped material.
Ripped code, graphics and or music are all encouraged. You can also include original code and assets if you want, or not at all. Reuse is art.
As above, use any language or DCK. It is all good.
CHALLENGE 3 - “INTERESTING SCROLLTEXT”
Interpret this however you like.
No rules. All entries welcome.
BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE…
For the first time ever, or maybe not, entries can be submitted to multiple challenges.
So why not make a sample disk with ripped assets and an interesting scrolltext, and take part in all three in one go??
