escena.org invtro v2 by xplsv.com
music: eb7m
code: sole
for inspire demoscene event (http://inspire-demoscene.org/)
held at errenteria (spain) 9-11th may 2008
-- About the demo --
This is an invitation to visit the
spanish demoscene website: escena.org
There was an existing invitation, done by
elerium core in 2001, but I thought it was
the time for building a new one which worked
in something else apart from windows ;-)
Do not forget to show this in
every party you organise!
-- Technical info --
Using Lua as the scripting base, I have created
a little library which simplifies drawing with
opengl. It is also somehow inspired by processing.
It's by no means complete and still needs
polishing some rough edges, but my idea is to
end up with a base which is easy enough to use
by newbies but extendable enough if you need it.
I will make the the source code available at a
certain point in (I hope) the foreseeable future
so you might contribute to the project,
should you wish to.
Meanwhile, you can modify the existing
demo.lua script which is inside the Resources
folder and make your own version of the invtro!
Since this is the first time I use SDL, I am still
fighting with SDL and universal libraries, so this
is a PPC version.
It is compiled with Leopard and I have the feeling
it won't work with Tiger or less.
I'll make universal Tiger & Leopard versions,
plus Linux and Windows versions.
Everything will be available at escena.org, as a
resource for everybody to learn and play with code.
These are the used libraries:
- fmod for sound playing
- soil for image handling
- lua for scripting
- sdl for window and event handling
- opengl for graphics

-- Thanks --
Big thanks go to eb7m first for providing such
enigmatic and weird music. Then big thanks too to
pplux (pplux.com) for his unvaluable help with Lua :-)
Also to trace for his suggestions and advice,
Corsario for his advice about python, lua and
everything scriptable, and tolemaC & co for
building the first invtro of course and being
the starting point.
