I also thought demos are supposed to be small self-contained binaries, has this changed?

- chromanoid 6y agoThere are and were all kinds of competitions. The wild category is probably the most obvious one regarding no size limitations, but the generic "combined demo" category which is very often present at competitions is also usually without restrictions (but it must run on the competition machine). See http://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php?type%5B%5D=wild http://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php?type%5B%5D=wild for wild demos (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCIsIfEOEI8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCIsIfEOEI8 :)) or http://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php?type%5B%5D=demo http://www.pouet.net/prodlist.php?type%5B%5D=demo for "combined demos"
- bitwize 6y agoOHP Mega Demo 9000 is one of the greatest things to come out of the scene. Fun fact: In the famous HBO "spinning chrome logo" intro ( https://youtu.be/i1NKoMNy5bY https://youtu.be/i1NKoMNy5bY ), the sole use of a computer in generating visual effects was to control a servomotor that slid one patterned transparency over another, much like this demo, to create a "starburst" effect (seen just before the logo itself appears).
