a 2D only demo in this so 3D world =)

in march 2003, during the Equinoxe coding party, the Win32 and Linux version of the demo has been released. This neat port using openPTC, SDL and fmod has been made by bananaboy

in december 2005, I made the full java version of the demo. see it below or in the java section

The DOS version require a VESA 2.0 compliant graphics card with the 320x240 15 bits linear frame buffer mode. get Scitech display doctor (and version 6.0a for matrox cards) if you don't have the resolution.

the best online java demo, running with java 1.1 !

choose a resolution :    STANDARD (320x240)    BIG (560x420)


note: with IE, you might have to accept a confirmation window to allow the use of Directsound.
click on the applet and hit the keys 1-4 for some filters (motion blur, black and white, invert). if the applet doesn't start, go back to this page and try again (damn garbage collector)
- XM player by yopkool. if you experience problem, download the sun java virtual machine.
