Site Event Feed for Demo Chronicles http://demochronicles.mccolm.org The bugs have been worked out of the voting system and it is now live. Stop by and vote for last month's challenge submissions. http://demochronicles.mccolm.org/compete.php?mode=vote An excerpt: Some of the rationale for creating this website lies with the fact that demo coding can be very competitive to the point where emerging demo producers are hesitant to showcase their latest product for fear that they will be ridiculed by their more accomplished peers. For demo coders who have developed considerable skill sets (artisans) but who are insecure about how their products will be received by their peers, the demo challenge provides a low-risk venue for showcasing their talent without fear of their demo 'being ripped apart on Pouet'. See the main page for Demo Chronicles to learn more about this regular event. http://demochronicles.mccolm.org/index.php?mode=about The first submission for May's Demo Challenge is in and there are only 4 days left in the challenge. The challenge is open until the 31st and there is still plenty of time to put together a demo for this month so grab your compiler and get coding. Pixelnerve's submission can be found on the front page, in the Challenge Archive, and on the Demo Challenge page itself. If you have a Twitter account, you can stay up to date on the latest submissions by following Demo Chronicles on Twitter. http://demochronicles.mccolm.org/compete.php This primer builds on part 2 in this series.
