Reconstruction

by alia / church of the spinning cube

4 kilobytes of executable graphics for macOS

presented at fieldfx 2020


What is it:

- Exegraphics. This is a standard demoscene competition: make a program that displays an image in 30 seconds or less. Total file size must be 4KB or less, no external data allowed.
- Path traced on GPU.
- A broken marble, deconstructed, rearranged, and reconst.

Requirements:

- Fast GPU recommended. This one isn't too heavy, but if the output is noisy try lower resolution.
- Possibly macOS 10.15. It probably works on older OS versions, but hasn't been tested. It runs on macOS 11.


Instructions:

- Run from terminal. cd to the folder, and run "./csc_reconstruction_1080p" (or your choice of resolution).
- Wait 30 seconds. Nothing much will happen during those 30 seconds. Your fans might start screaming in anticipation.


Credits:

- Made by Alia of the Church of the Spinning Cube during the apocalypse of 2020.

Warranty:

None given, use at your own risk. It'll probably be fine, but save your work before running it ;)
