The Demoscene Primer: Making Pretty Animations with Code

A workshop from EMF 2024 by James Rutherford (jtruk) (he/him)

On Saturday June 1, 2024 at in Workshop 4 (FieldFX)

We'll explore the Demoscene, a digital art subculture focused on creating audiovisual effects to entertain and impress, using TIC-80, a free and joyful 'virtual console'.

We'll develop a selection of effects, leaving you with the skills and pointers to continue creating on your own.

We will be using the Lua language. Some very basic programming experience will be required but participants do not need to be familiar with Lua. There will be additional challenge available for more experienced programmers.
