Demos:
What is a Demo?
A demo is a program that displays a sound, music, and light show, usually
in 3D. Demos are very fun to watch, because they seemingly do things that
aren't possible on the machine they were programmed on.
Essentially, demos "show off". They do so in usually one, two, or all
three of three methods:
-
They show off the computer's hardware abilities (3D objects, multi-channel
sound, etc.)
-
They show off the creative abilities of the demo group (artists, musicians)
-
They show off the programmer's abilities (fast 3D shaded polygons, complex
motion, etc.)
Demos are an art form. They blend mathematics, programming skill, and creativity
into something incredible to watch and listen to.
