The other day i was playing around with OpenGL and started looking at some Demos for Macs (http://mac.scene.org/). I used to be very interested in the scene when i was about 15 but didn’t end up doing a career in computer science and found other things to be obsessed about so stopped actively following the development in Demo programming. Occasionally I’d pop over to scene.org and download a couple of the latest demos to see what was possible. Anyway, so I’ve been playing a little with OpenGL again in the last few weeks, mainly for other projects, but watching a few of the Demos available for macs i got inspired to write a graphical, real time effect, something I haven’t done for at least 12 years. The timing was good because we had a massive party at our house that weekend and so I ended up projecting this on the ceiling for everyone’s enjoyment.

Here’s the result:
