  Demo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A demo mode is a software routine built into consumer electronics in order to allow floor models to either advertise the functions of the electronics, attract a consumer's interest, or both.
A synthesizer demo is a subset of this, where the synthesizer is programmed to play a song at the press of a single button, often showcasing the synthesizer's available instruments or effects.
A computer programming demo (computer programming) is a program created to demonstrate the abilities of coders, computer graphics artists and musicians that are involved in the demoscene.

 Demoscene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These were not initially called demos but rather letter, message, etc. Ironically, quite a few of the young talents that spent their time "coding" demos and thus gaining in-depth experience programming computer graphics later ended up working in the games industry, whose products they had initially cracked.
Where games/application writers were concerned with stability/functionality of their software, the demo writer was typically interested in how many CPU cycles a routine would consume and how best to squeeze as much effects and activity onto the screen.
Although demos are still a more or less obscure form of art even in the traditionally active demoscene countries, the scene has had an impact on areas such as computer games industry and new media art.

 Computer Demos - The Story So Far
An important distinction between demos and movies or videos is that the visual effects seen in demos are real-time calculated, instead of rendered in beforehand like conventional computer animations (where often hours of computer time are spent to calculate just one frame).
Demos are conventionally programmed in assembler, but nowadays C and C++ are also popular, and only the most time-critical parts of the demos are programmed in hand-optimized assembler.
So far the demo scene hasn't evolved from concentrating on technical excellence instead of content and maybe this is one of reasons why the demo is slowly dying away.

 Gamasutra - Features - "Introduction to Demos & The Demo Scene" [02.16.01]
The relationship of the demo scene to the game industry is similar to that of the game-mod community or the machinima community (ultra-low budget computer generated film-making).
Demos in this sense are an artistic sketch.

 Text Mode Demo Archive   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Demos are meant to be fun, and the unique design problems in textmode are part of it.
A demo must be designed primarily to be run in textmode, and it has to be reasonably small (meaning that 10 meg textmode demo would be an overkill).
Currently the only way to submit a demo is to mail me an URL to the demo (or even the demo itself, but ask first), plus information on the OS, size, party, ratings, author, demo name, other stuff.
