Ok, here is the story. The amiga demoscene group i was coding for back in the nineties has called for reunion, so here we are, with our first public appearance after 15 years, since the age of BBS’s :)

Protozoa, by Almagest, 2011
Music: BLAME, “convergent fields” album.

Credits: akiko (code), BLAME (music), blue imp (closing words)

I’ve chosen html5/js as the platform for this demo (ok, technically it’s a trackmo), because it’s a simple and easy way to do it, and it’s online.. well, times have changed, people got accustomed to different ways of thinking, downloading and installing files seems to have become quite an effort for a common user, so here we go – one click away from it – everything online, just click and watch.. or at least that’s what you can do if you have HTML5 capable browser, and I actually suggest: Firefox 4 (version 3 is too slow), Chrome or IE9 (official). I think Opera would do as well, they used to have quite a fast js engine, and html5 (especially canvas pixel pushing) was pleasingly fast, last time I tested it.
