This is great to hear. Demoscene is one of the most influential things I have came across my entire life, and changed how I code forever.

I remember watching Farbrausch's "fr-08 .the .produkt" [0] when it came out and telling myself "If a computer can do this with 64KB of data, at this speed, my programs should be able to do the same, or at least shall be close". I was forever poisoned at this point, and this simple sentence shaped my whole academic life and career.

P.S.: Rewatching it, again, for the nth time. Hats off to chaos, fiver2, kb, doj, ryg & yoda.

P.P.S: I show people YouTube version of Elevated (https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=52938), and ask them to guess the binary size rendering this thing in real time. The answer blows everyone's mind, every time.
