The animation in this intro might not blow your mind by itself, but it should once you realize the entirety of the code to render it was 64kB. From the Hungarian demoscene group Conspiracy.

/// About the intro:

Apparently we finished another 64k...
...Except that ALL of us are extremely satisfied with it.
(Then again there's probably always a first time.)

Hard to believe that all it took to have an intro that's fun
to make and enjoyable to watch (for us) was around +50 BPM.
Sorry for no deep emotions or touching scene poetry this time;
we thought it was time to do something else.
Interestingly, losing BP06 and breaking the winning streak
helped the creative process immensely - freedom is AWESOME.

We're apparently going against (among others) Farbrausch, Fairlight,
and Kewlers in the 64k compo. Hard to say what chances do
we have, but one thing's for sure: we're really really happy
with our intro already, so from this point it can only get better.

We'd like to thank everyone who supported us during our harder times,
we hope a lot of you will enjoy this intro even if it's not something
you would expect from us. (Cue catchphrase here.)

Many thanks go to ryg of farbrausch for kkrunchy, and the Opera
guys at Assembly'06 for lending us a computer to enter the
intro. Also, greetings to everyone who didn't fit into the intro
greets.

Enjoy the intro as much as we did.

spoco2 - thank you so much for that link. I've only seen tiny bits and pieces of demoscene stuff, and had no idea how far it had come. I'm also far too lazy to take the few minutes to seek that out myself

For those not very familiar with coding, this is (in my opinion) the programming equivalent of at least the Sistene chapel. I don't think that's an exaggeration. Without even seeing the underlying code I can tell it must be astoundingly tight.

Does anyone know enough about demos to say whether they're allowed to have dependencies? Is the .exe employing any video or audio libraries to make itself work? If not I'm even more impressed.
