Hello all,
I'm a coder from Melbourne, Australia. I've always enjoyed coding and programming all sorts of random crap, so when I recently discovered that there is an active demo scene here in Melbourne with friendly guys, I started participating in the demo scene and was very happy.
I happened upon this board from a link from the website of the Sydney based group
Defame.This looks like a lively board which is all about making and sharing awesome prods, simulations etc. This board is an awesome, genuinely precious thing, and I'm glad this exists and that I've found it.
On to the Demo Construction Kit. I submitted a prod called "wtf-atabimp" to the
Flashback 2011 demo party which took place recently in Sydney. Its a simple prod, but you might find it interesting because it is scriptable entirely with Lua, and it can be changed or even completely rewritten while it is running. As a result, it makes a handy "live coding" environment, where you can prototype your demo ideas quickly and easily. All you need to do is redefine the "update()" and "render()" functions using the console, and you can see the effect of your change instantly.
The wtf-atabimp prod is
available here.I'm in the process of adding a few features to it to make the live coding process easier and more fun. I'm calling it the "Demo Construction Kit" only because I love anything called "<something something> Construction Kit" (eg "3D Construction Kit", "Shoot 'em up Construction Kit" etc).
Enjoy!
