Have you watched demoscene videos? I think you're overestimating how much information is needed.

- udev 6y agoYes, I watched. I agree those can be very compact, and looks like a whole world is depicted in 4kb with music! Demos are based on combining perfect geometrical structures in clever ways (planes, spheres, sinusoids, etc) because they all can be compactly expressed with the type of algebra/arithmetic/geometry that is exactly what our CPUs were built for. If you watch many demos you tend to see certain symmetries, reflections, and other artifacts that make it all seem repetitive and plain (despite the number of moving objects, effects, etc.) The process in this cell dividing feels very different to me, but it is hard to put my finger on it.
