Shader Showdown - Live Coding Competition

They started it in 2013 at WeCan, then Revision gave the livecoders the big stage they deserve, and now it’s 2022 and they are back once again and hungrier than ever before.

On Friday night and Saturday afternoon - the ultimate fight of knowledge, persistence and crowd-pleasing skills will again take place: The Shader Showdown Live Coding Competition.

What does it all mean? At Revision 2022, 8 coders will compete one-on-one in a live-shader-coding single elimination tournament over two days.

On Friday - The Elimination Round: Four battles where the respective winners move to the Saturday Finals.
On Saturday - The Finals: Two battles in the Semifinals and one breathtaking Final round to determine the ultimate live-coder!

The crowd can watch both coders in split-screen mode. An audio feed will be provided by a DJ - who will play to the visuals the coders produce on the screen. All battles will be moderated live by hosts who can’t code and coders who can’t host. Winners will be determined by crowd voting.

The Rules at a glance

• Every battle lasts 25 minutes and you have to write all code from scratch.
• All code has to be written in (and only in) BONZOMATIC (discuss here).
• A set of textures will be provided for each round.
• You can pick your weapon of choice: GLSL or HLSL (DX9 or DX11).

The Timetable

• Friday, April 15th (time TBA): Round of 8 - 4 battles of 25 minutes each. Winners move on to the Semifinals.
• Saturday, April 16th (time TBA): Semifinals - 2 battles of 25 minutes each. Winners move on to the Final.
• Saturday, April 16th (time TBA): Finals

Revision 5k Run

The traditional SPORT(ish) event you all love will happen again: The exhausting fun 5k Run!

And you can be part of it! All you need to do is put on your running gear, join the Revision 5k Club at Strava, RSVP to the Club Event, and sign up for the Strava 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!

The run starts on Saturday morning, April 16th at 12:00 CEST.

Even if you’re out of shape or very shapely - just do it. Even D.Fox did it at TRSAC and came in superlast! But he prevailed to live another day.

And afterwards, you will feel pain good, tired fuzzy and dead warm inside. You will be on top of the world. And you should have plenty of time to take a shower, grab a beer and be ready for the first compo of the day.

Did we mention that we stole this idea from the TRSAC organizers? Now you know - all credits go to them <3!
