Open Source Art?

Posted by michael on from the slashcode-vaguely-resembles-the-scream dept.

  1. How about *this* generated art? by Jugalator · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The 256 byte demo called "Tube" (Windows) from 256b -- a site for 256 byte intros.

    Among the most jaw dropping experiences *I* have had at least. What it is? Oh, just a rotating 3D tunnel effect in 256 bytes without Direct3D, OpenGL or similar graphics engines. :) It's generated on the fly as well, which makes it actually fit the "generated art" topic IMHO.

    Assembler source for compilation in NASM included.

    As some one said: "porn for coders". ;)
