• demo Amiga AGA Be Kool Fool by Focus Design [web]
• This was overall impressive, and i can't believe those samples fit on a standard Amiga Module. This is a well deserved first place

  It has technical flaws and an attrocious design. It'd still be BASICally insulting for everyone.

• First of. I want to point out this is an ovbious case of Poe's law in action.
  However i am more than pleased to see the comments have not gone in the vein the SJWs, feminazis, and by extension, the developer, would have expected.
  
  Before i go into a rant about the moral flaws of this prod, i want to point out the actual tangible flaws of it.
  
  1. It's effing basic, emulating both the ZX and C64. It is ridiculous and bloody useless in 2015
  
  2. The font of choice is awful. Serif fonts were made to be read on paper, not on a computer. a sans-serif 8x8 font is perfectly possible and would have been much more appreciated for readibility, specially given we're imitating computers that were supposed to connect through RF to the target video output device.
  
  3. Pink it is not the reccomended color for something that requires as much time as coding does. Specialy since apaprently some studies prove that red makes the human brain have much more agressive and impulsive thoughts rather than blue's calm, slow and rational ones [citation needed]
  
  Now, with all the objective design choices taken out of the way. Let's go to the real issue, because that's why you made this tool on the first place.

  GIRLS ARE THE DEMOSCENE FUTURE

  
  
  Well, we not only have examples like Margaret up there ( something i wanted to have pointed out but i had to sleep ), but... Woman have always been a part of the demoscene. We've been it's past and we are it's future. I am a shy little fucker who does not hang here around much, but here is me, designing and pitching ideas for effects for Bon^2's demos, testing said demos and making multitude graphics for 16 bit machines. Then we have people like Bittin ( Princess Luna ) who spend her free time translating open source projects, then we've got folks like Sigflup, making lists of female demosceners and collaborating on their own to the demoscene.
  
  This tool is trying to fix a problem that does not exist.
  
  I am a woman and i don't do my own demos? Why? Maybe because i suck at the understanding of artificial language constructs and abstract entitites. Not because somehow i am inherently stupid an uninterested on programming.
  
  Want to allow more people to make demos? Make a tool that makes easy-to-understand efficient shader code, even if the abstraction layers needed make it incredibly simple and/or limited. That's not a problem. People will either get away with things that look impossible on that tool or they'll just learn to code shaders eventually by using low-level system calls and whatot.
  
  Extend documentation about easy and simplified languages to get people started coding on those, or better yet, make your own damm language and then incorporate it to the shader tool you've just created, then extensively document it.
  
  Take away some of the understandment and abstract barriers that programming has as a fundamental part of it's design. document as much as you can, explore and show any and all findings you get, help others getting started on programming.
  
  That way you'll get more people into the scene, and, surprise, MAYBE SOME MORE WOMEN ( like if we weren't plenty enough )
  
  Making a basic interpreter and painting it pink won't fix a problem. Resources, accesibility and education will.
  
  With this said. This prod sucks.

• Well, it has buns and wiggly crayon effects, that's definetly a yes for me

• This is amazing in so many ways. and hell, all of it in 4K? that's just simply Awesome

• demo MS-Dos BB final by AA-Group [web]
• Oh my. I remember this being supplied as part of a knoppix based recovery CD in 2003 or so. First demo i ever saw ever. It is probably even better nowadays now that i know what the hell is going on what it was supposed to be.

• demo SNES/Super Famicom nu by Elix
• *Le Dubstep* ... I'd actually would like an SPC out of but i guess most of the song is prebaked, and not rendered IRL
  
  Also. I have sadly to downvote this because... There's not a lot of merit on ... displaying a video.
  
  Not even the "Atoms with Links" part is rendered in real time by the machine. it's really ALL FMV.
  
  It's kind of sad. because the graphics used actually might be done in real time by the hardware. maybe with the exception of the Pyramid but who knows. Software rendering. at max it had 54 polys total. I am not an expert. but i've seen the C64 doing pretty convincing 3D stuff. It has the same processor as the SNES. i am sure you could do it.
  
  AT LEAST THE 2D PARTS.
