My little recreational programming group.

[Pixel_Outlaw]

After reading quite a few books on the subject of recreational programming (simple short programs to amuse) I've decided to make a forum for such things. Most of these projects are not really in line with the notion of a demo. They are usually programs with a simple effect in mind that is often static. Really the algorithm is what is important.

Since many people here enjoy programming an effect or two into a demo I thought I might draw some interest.
It is a bit different from a demoscene forum in that I ask users contribute algorithms in pseudocode or English.
I'm trying to create something that is both programming language, and platform agnostic.

Let me say that I would never want to pull people away from contributing to this forum.
My little project is more of an exploration of visual algorithms and oddidites.
There will never be compelling competitions like Shockwave has done here.

combatking0 has done the bulk of the work, we are just trying to get some solid content in now.
Most of my programming is done these days on low end Linux machines with old graphics cards so a lot of my work anymore is static graphics and concept exploration.

Please join, take a look at the examples and see if there is content you'd like to contribute!
Currently we have a approval process for joining. But that may change.

Thanks for any interest!
There are a LOT of talented visionaries here that I'd like to have.

really nice and right up my street.. a lot of the things already discussed over there are things i have long term plans for.

my project is to make an engine which brings a "certain" class of effects into the 21st century via resolution, colour depth or 3D wise (where it doesnt spoil the original - for example i hate most '3dlife' implementations, they aren't doing it right in my book!)

bookmarked, and will definitely be referring to it once i'm recreationally programming more!

Just so it's clear, we're not trying to steal members from here - we're just providing a different twist to the passtime of programming.

Hopefully by learning a few more effects, my demos will improve some more here.

There is not a single forum topic I do not find interesting there (except meaby the rules ), the few posts I read were pretty interesting too. Meaby I'll drop in some time in the future, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it.

Well done and good luck with it!

Bookmarked ! Great idea :]

Wow! Some really cool stuff in there!
