A little demo I found that uses various clever rendering techniques to look absolutely gorgeous, and the most surprising thing is that the whole thing fits into a 64K executable.

There's some details here, for those that are interested: http://www.gamedev.net/communi ... topic.asp?topic_id=581107

I now rely on you to find cool stuff for me to do

Another "gate" find by Crash"gate" (see what I did there?)

Thank you

They even release a game which is better than most of the shit game studios release these days.

Ever seen the first person shooter that's a 128k exe? Very detailed too, with all the generated textures, levels and weapons.

^^ Similar to that

pouet's list of 64k windows demoscenes

personally, i don't see what's so special about demoscene on the pc... it's cooler on retro hardware.

Some demos are 4K and still produce EPIC enviroments and stuff like that.

In this case, the code of the demo is just so well packed that none of those antiviruses can execute it. But in the other hand, the demo might be infected (wich i highly doubt).

cool one btw... :up:

I wonder how much free time you have to have to mess around with assembler and shader code in order to create something as useless as this
Anyway, I wonder if these demoscenes would be any faster compared to their counterparts written in C.
