This was a pipe cleaner for my current demo engine project. I like SDL3 GPU API and will probably stick with it. However, I had to port my existing SDL3 codebase from Rust to Zig, because it's hard to ignore how much nicer Zig is for rapid 3D engine code development and how simple it is to just use proven, minimal C libraries directly without any broken abstraction or unsafe-blocks everywhere. The Zig engine is even better, actually, because the render configuration is processed and validated mostly at compile time from ZON, and not parsed at runtime from RON. Combined with dynlib reloading and zig build --watch, it's a very neat workflow where I can develop shaders and render code live, without having to restart the demo executable or even manually invoke any compiler(s).
The visuals here are kind of half-baked. I was aiming for a much lower frequency and slighly lower contrast background 2D effect, but this plasma shader was all I had time for now. The octahedra also need more variation and pattern(s), expect to see more of that effect down the line. The sync was done with just conditionals in render/shader code, and if I had more time, there should have been something else at the end than just sticking with the "main effect".
The zip file also contains an aarch64-linux-gnu -build, which will probably run on a Raspberry Pi 5 pretty well, but I haven't confirmed that, so no Raspberry Pi platform tag this time. - isokadded on the 2025-09-02 10:13:50
- demo Windows HEL-STO-SYN by Jumalauta [web]
- Very polished, I like this style of demos. I was thinking that the blob could have been actually reflective by sampling some cubemap render target, though.

- I aspire to have a decent looking demo making pipeline as efficient as you. The end screen reference deseves a thumbs up.

- demo Linux MS-Dos Windows MS-Dos/gus FreeBSD MacOSX Intel SGI/IRIX Android Raspberry Pi Aleph Null by Mindlapse [web] & Desire [web]
- This was my favorite from the compo. Very good work. Also big respect for making this demo Free Software and not just open source :-)

- demo Amiga OCS/ECS RIP Bill Atkinson of HACKERS by Hackers [web]
- One of my favorites from the compo. Very nice design.

- demo JavaScript WUNDERLUST by Gray Marchers [web]
- Very nice, even more phenomenal than The Message. But it could have had a more cohesive theme or message, now it was just a classic demo with a lot to show but little to tell. Big respect for keeping the hardware requirements relatively modest, we need more of that in newschool IMO.

- demo Commodore 64 Andropolis by Booze Design & Instinct
- This was certainly my favorite from the compo. A solid, modern C64 demo.

- 64k Linux We have accidentally exposed your sysbox by Emo Lemons
- I don't get the point of ripping off Razor 1911, but at least there is some originality to this prod regardless. What does it mean to "expose one's sysbox"? Something to do with containers on Linux?
