• I would like to say that the "2000's aesthetics" is very much intentional, but part of it is simply due to MATLAB having no programmable shaders, or not even blend modes... There is just flat & gouraud interpolation, with some specular-ambient-diffuse lighting model for the vertices. Blending is just alpha blending, but at least it has depth peeling so early 2000's issues with correct z-ordering for alpha blending are not there :) So those are the biggest handicaps.
  
  On the positive side, MATLAB has no namespaces. For anything serious, that is almost unbearable, but it is great for size coding: no lines wasted for imports. Standard library also comes with bunch of nice functions for demo coding, for example spline interpolation, audioplayer etc... Everything is just a few lines away; the overhead for getting something on screen and playing is very minimal. And compact matrix/vector/complex number notation is of course the king.
  
  Oh, and it ships with MRI-data of someone's brain.

• Update: the memory allocation crash should now have been fixed. Fixed version can be downloaded from GitHub. The fix also saved some bytes, so porocyon & noby got their names into the greets for filing the bug report.

• To people having issues with excessive memory usage: it is due to MATLAB character encoding being other than 'windows-1252'. As a quick fix, run
  Code:feature('DefaultCharacterSet','windows-1252')
  before starting the intro.

• I suspect this is a character encoding issue on linux; song data is in strings and a char 255 in wrong place would result an array of 2^255 elements getting allocated... When I have time, I'll provide a fallback version that doesn't use strings, let's see if it helps.

• No, it does not (should not) need 128G of memory, maybe a new unknown issue? Send more details e.g. through GitHub and I'll investigate. It has known issues on 4K monitors though; for that, try changing to a lower resolution before running.

• I watched the video, it looked worse at the compo :) Design ok, execution bit lacking.
