[ILUG] [OT] demos again

[Donncha O Caoimh]

your demos? you did some coding on the C64? I'll have to point you at
some of my own stuff :)

The VIP2 demo mentioned on that page is amazing.. win32 only though :|

I was thinking, if I wanted to get back into coding demos, I'll probably
do it using Java, it's cross-platform. It sucks a lot on Linux a bit,
but you don't have to worry about someone having the proper version of
SDL or some sound library. I'm saying this not knowing anything much
about Java, so I might be living in blissfull ignorance!

And besides, I don't like the thought of having to manage memory in C..
growing soft in my PHP/Perl-old age *grin*
Or I could fire up Vice, get an assembler and try my hand at 6502
assembly again! Now that's enticing..

Donncha.
