n. [ demoscene ] Finnish-originated slang for competition. Demo compos are
held at a demoparty. The usual protocol is that several groups make demos
for a compo, they are shown on a big screen, and then the party participants
vote for the best one. Prizes (from sponsors and party entrance fees) are
given. Standard compo formats include intro compos (4k or 64k demos), music
compos, graphics compos, quick demo compos (build a demo within 4 hours for
example), etc.
