History

The demo was developed in 1997-2002 without a version control system, so don't expect real commits. The initial commit here is actually a complete demo as we released it at the Lato Ludzików party. The second commit here is the final release, containing a fix for uninitialized memory reference and some improvements such as synchronization of effects with the soundtrack.

In 2016 I prepared an endless loop version for an exhibition. It's on the loop branch. This required some fixes in order to compile the demo on modern Windows (originally it was built on Windows 98!). These were real Git commits.
