• demo MacOSX Intel Mac OS X Lame-O
• So bad it made me laugh, which would be a good thing if i hadn't just had an operation. Laughing hurts :/ Still, pig for supporting the parting and having the guts to release this :)

• poi: I saw both I think.. yeah, pretty pointless to release it as a separate thing. Hmm.. tough one.. i would thumb the original down for being too slow, but really this is lame as a re-release and deserves a thumb down for that. But still one or the other deserves a thumb :)

• I saw this before and didn't think too much of it.. but missed that it's 256b. Thumb up then.

• not watched the video, but i put the soundtrack on my ipod. Great stuff! It has a definite demo flavour to it somehow too.
  
  xrs: i've not forgotten that little project, but I'm just too damn busy lately trying to manage a full time job plus contract work in spare hours. And skype is now blocked at work :[

• wild PHP worlds first: '3d-engine' in php
• macaw: cool, seems there's some more useful stuff now then. When I last considered it, it was pretty much just plain GD.
  
  Dunno what exactly the point would be though.. if you're going to do an opengl demo, why bother doing it in php + streaming the output images to a client instead of just rendering to screen? Well, guess we never needed a point before :)
  
  It's really just down to work/reward for me.. to do anything interesting with php would be a fair bit of work, and the rewards would be pretty small compared to a normal demo. I'd do something simple like this if I did anything at all I guess.
  
  Meanwhile, I haven't got time to do much at all.. my half-finished intro tools are sitting around gathering dust :/

• wild PHP worlds first: '3d-engine' in php
• poi: yeah, definitely, but there's a catch or two. With GD you have the tools needed to do software rendering to some extent, plus it supports alpha blending and a bit more already (I guess this demo just plots the vertices and asks GD to draw the lines). But...
  
  Sound has to run on the client, so you either get none, or you have to figure out synchronising everything. With all the different browser implementations. Urgh.
  
  There's no really good way of getting the demo from the server to the browser (everything so far uses constant browser refreshes to fetch the next frame i think - I looked into pushing out an anim-gif from GD ages back but it was either impossible or too much work..)
  
  The next problem is that you have to run the demo on a server. You either have to put it on your own and let people connect, or you hand out the source and tell the viewers to set up their own web server + php just to watch it.. If it's on your own server, you have one instance of the demo running for each viewer, which means sloooow when many people connect, plus it heavily limits the complexity of the code unless you have some huge server farm or limit it to just a few viewers at a time.
  
  What could work: loop the demo, and have just one instance running on the server. Then allow viewers to connect to that. Or perhaps a combined js/php demo, where the server has a few processes each doing one effect, and the js demo connects to them when it wants them and does the rest of the demo itself.

• wild PHP worlds first: '3d-engine' in php
• Yeah, a bit lame. Rotating a cube is simple, and with the GD lib doing it in php is even more simple really.
  
  The concept of server-side demos is interesting me, but not this kind of implementation..

• demo Windows Crush by anadune [web] & Floppy
• + great fluids scenes
  - cube overdose
  - cheesy trance
  - even more mirrorballs
  - tons of demo clichés
  
  Hmm.. but then again, I do actually like all of those negatives, and the demo ends up being super enjoyable :D
