by Hello all,
I've just completed a small OpenGL demoy thing program that displays alot
of pretty graphics and animations. Have a look if you like. It's been
developed on a MD 9.0 machine. You'll need an 3D accelerated graphics
card, and OpenGL.
(Nb/ it's about 1.6 Mb)

Give this link to anyone who has a modern linux box and hardware ;).
Following is the synopsis of the README.
See ya

The Small Precludes Demo - By Jason Nunn, (C) 2000
--------------------------------------------------
Hello,
This started out as being a small project in July 2000 to learn OpenGL. I
had just quit my job at the time (Hallmark Computer Intl), and was a bit
bored. OpenGL was a passing curiousity. It also jeered up the time I wrote
demos in the early 90's ! ;).
When I started coding the small scenes, I went to pieces a bit, and the
whole thing dragged on till about Feb 2001 (I only intended to play with
it for a month ! -- I was also interrupted by other projects). I
eventually became too busy with projects within my new job. Small
Precludes consequently got shelved... which was a pity, because at that
point, it was virtually finished, and basically needed to be bolted
together.
A couple of weeks ago (April Fools Day, 2003), I got retrenched from my
current job (Arafura Connect). So, I'm unemployed again, with no projects
to invent or code. So, off the shelf it came ! ;). I'm a finisher, and
that's what I intended to do with Small Precludes-- Even if only a handful
of people get to see it (and appreciate it).
I used to write demos back in my early 20's and late *s. Some of you
(but I doubt any of you) will remember me from the Hornet demo group and
the Hornet demo news letters in the mid 90's ?.
This demo is pathetic compared with even old demos, although some of it
looks nice... But I'm rusty, and it was only a personal learning exercise
anyway. When it comes to graphics and music, I have none these skills (I
never did, I was simply more patient back then and people had a much more
tolerant standard ;). I guess the demo maker of today comes in the form of
a web developer ?..
...Anyway, I hope you enjoy this archaic and obsolete form of electronic
entertainment, for all it's worth. If you like it, write me a line ;).
Thank you.
