Not bad, not bad at all.

Timely, but I wonder if the portrayal of such inner states is so good
for a shortened time frame. For me it would work better as the next
topic. Or maybe announce it now as an April deadline.

It could be a scene that just does not have a chequered plane in it. It could be
a scene that looks like it has a chequered plane but doesn't.
Just my tupence worth.

As much as I find this constant "return to the mathematical primitive"
thing annoying, I see how it could work in this circumstance. It's
quick and dirty, there is a sense of return to the IRTC roots, the
restriction of means almost always results in a kind of inventiveness
even if not great expression, (but there is not enough time for grand
scenes right now anyway), and it would throw some emphasis back onto
texturing and lighting as skills.
Verm's original suggestion struck me as meaning the artist must pick and
use just one of the primitives. Perhaps that could be a constraint?
Pick any primitive you want, but it's the only one you get. Also there
should be a definitive list of what's allowed and what is not.

My point of view: We don't have much time to collect suggestions about that
and decide precise constraints, unless the constraints are suggested by the
topic itself (eg "Black & White") or they are simple and 'overall' (eg
scenes are in a single POV-SDL file, without restrictions for the language
features).
Any idea welcome.
