- bemmu 18y agoDemocoding is especially nice, because it's often just a string of effects. Each effect you can add to your set of skills, and like magic they often have very simple secrets behind them. Making fire, water, a seemingly spinning flubber effect, all of them are just a few lines of code if you just know the trick. So rewarding and gratifying to see something cool happen because of something so simple.
- gommm 18y agoYeah, I got into programming through the tuts from Denthor of Asphyxia. I really found demos to be cool and wanted to do something similar :-)...
