ATTRACTORS
by TGD
presented at qbparty 2023

music: Brian
code: Jimmi

The source code is available here: https://github.com/aedm/bitang
Be prepared for Rust & Vulkan.

A few tips:
The demo is it's own editor. Press F11 to exit full screen, and you'll see the editor UI. File changes in the "app" folder are picked up runtime. Enjoy tinkering. No docs yet.

Tested on Win11, GTX1080.
There's a Linux executable, but it's not tested. Please let me know if you tried it. Might have to chmod +x or whatever.

hey.

So I thought I'll never do a last minute demo rush again, yet here we are.

Anyway, making this one was fun. In the end, it didn't turn out to be what I planned, but I don't have a lot of free time to spend on demomaking these days, so I'm just happy about having done something.

Greetings:
- To Brian. I tried to make music for this demo myself before suddenly realising I have no idea how to make music. So I asked Brian about 10 days before the compo to write me a music and he delivered. Brian, you're awesome.
- To my wife, who took care of kids in the last few days before the party so I could make a demo once again. It feels so good, thank you.
- To Feryx and all of the organizers of qbparty. You guys rock. I enjoy this party so much.
- To the Rust community. I once gave up demomaking because I didn't have the time and patience C++ demanded me. It just became too frustrating to spend my little free time solving linker errors once my kids were born and there was a good chance I'll never make demos again. So yeah, thanks for making programming fun and productive.
- To the ones I stole gfx content from. The tree models and the marble texture. I don't remember where they were from.
- To Nimitz and Airtight, I learned how to trace clouds and make render glitches from you. Strangely, my version of render glitches aren't glitchy enough, but that unfortunately can't be said about my clouds.
- I got inspired by Chaotic Atmosphere's "Strange Attractors" collection.
- To everyone at Hungarian demoparties.
- To some horses and select types of cheese.
- To all the strange attractors I ever met.

bye,
Jimmi
