This should probably mention Notch[0], a program for real time graphics that's written by a programmer[1] in the Fairlight group. It started as their demo tool and seems to have evolved to something more general. Other demo makers use it too now.

- skrebbel 7y agoIn all fairness, Smash is mostly a Jazz musician.
- sorenjan 7y agoI'm afraid this reference went over my head. This Smash is an alias for Matt Swoboda.
- skrebbel 7y agoI just spent several minutes explaining it, then deleted the comment because it's obviously an in-joke that's not funny when explained. Sorry, in-jokes don't belong on HN (except HN-in-jokes ofc). The gist is that Smash is not only a spectacularly skilled coder and artist, but also an extremely nice guy (like just about every demoscener) and that sceners have a habit of colloquially mocking one another.
- sorenjan 7y agoOk. As you can tell, I'm not really a part of the demoscene, merely an admirer from the outside.
