Does Linux Have a 'Demo' Scene?
BigWhale asks: "I used to follow things that were happening on the Old School demo scenes a few years ago, then after a failed hard disk, I moved on and lost track. So, for old times sake I started poking around a little bit. What's happening with the scene, is it still alive? Indeed it is. Coding style is much different with DirectX, and hardware accelerated demos, but I'm 100% Linux oriented right now and I want to start a Linux Demo project. SDL by Loki Games is pretty neat, but is this the only thing that one could use to write a demo, what about ClanLib? How is with the sound support, I know about Midas and MikMod, is there anything else? I checked www.scene.org and there is one link there regarding Linux, but it's not working. So my question to /. is where would an old school demo coder, that wants to work with Linux, look for resources or scene hangouts?" I've watched demos [?] (small multimedia shorts) on just about everything from the Amiga Desktop to DOS and now Windows, does Linux have a similar subculture? -
Studies Useful for the Gaming Industry?
Jari Komppa asks: "Although I'm not working for the game industry, this question keeps popping up.

(math, programming, what?)" -

Linux Needs Music Software
Sine Sculptor wrote in to tell us about a cool windows music composition program called Buzz. Sine raves about the program, and although my music skills consist of humming loudly off key along with Beatles albums, I would love to see a Linux port. Interestingly enough, apparently the author is willing to open up the source to the freeware program if someone wants to make a stab at a linux port. Anyone up to the challange?
