		A demoparty is an event which gathers demomakers and provides them competitions to compete in.
		However, a major difference between a real demoparty and a typical LAN party is that demosceners spend more time socializing (often outside the actual party hall) than in front of their computers.
		Demoparties started to appear in the 1980's in the form of copyparties where software pirates and demomakers gathered to meet each other and share their software.

	Talk:Demoscene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As for the Pilgrimage Demo Party, it is a fully qualified and active demoparty -- certainly not something to be confused with a short-run demoshow.
		Historically there have been several Russian demoparties and there is an even an active Japanese demoparty which recently took place just last month (but it is only a virtual party by way of the 2ch BBS website).
		Throughout the United States/Canada there has been at least 11 documented physical demoparties ever [1], a small number in stark contrast to the approximately 70 demoparties which take place each year throughout all of Europe.

	Compo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In addition to party-based contests, there have also been online compos on websites and bulletin board systems.
		The main competition on most demoparties is the demo compo.
		A typical party also includes an intro compo (for demos with a file size restriction), a music compo and a graphics compo.

	What are demo parties? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Demoparties are events in which demo enthusiasts and other sceners meet.
		The name came from the fact that they were mainly organized for the sceners to meet one another and to copy the latest wares.
		The main event of a demoparty is of course the demo competition.

		I know that the demoparties died somewhat, somewhere along the way, and the old trackers 'got real lives' or now while away their hours on IRC without releasing.
		Demoparties give you excuses to travel to far places, to live away from the boring surrounding society for at least that one weekend.
		Demoscene is not just about going to demoparties, it's also mainly about the new-media art and the artists that have been working hard for the past week to release something in the compos.

		Comment : This individual continuously receives awards for his music at demoparties, effectively the analagous equivalent to film festivals but focused on electronically-created animations, graphics and music.
		It's definitely worth noting that in the last 3 music competitions that paniq entered in 2004 (that I've discovered so far), he received 1st place each and every time.
		High notability in the demoscene is usually accompanied by top placement in various competitions on large demoparties (placement is democratic as well, the audience votes the winner) and high activity over a longer period of time.

	Realtime Visualization Methods in the Demoscene
		A demoparty is an annual event, being a gathering of people interested in the demoscene combined with competing in categories such as demos and intros - which are in fact demos with a size limit typically set to 64KB, 4KB or 256 bytes [ 3 ].
		The greatest demoparties held are Assembly [ 4 ] in Finland and The Party [ 5 ] in Denmark organized annually for already a decade.
		The Dream [ 16 ] demo was released in 1999 at the Fiasko demoparty held in Uhersk\' e Hradiste, Czech Republic.

		Just imagine you're driving in a crowded car over 100 mph on a big speedway, having a driver who speaks like Terminator and a radio which obviously had only one purpose: to spread "kikkelitrance" (well, eurotrance for all you non-Finnish people..) to the world.
		Yes, we were in Germany - also known as the promised land of tasty beer and good demoparties.
		What comes to good demoparties, You can try to prove me wrong, Mekka Symposium 2k was the first one which fit into the schedule of our Finnish hardcore-party-judging-crew (namely I, Virne, Droid, SolarC, Visualice and Kure).

		It has also been common for diskmag s to have voting-based charts which provide ranking lists for the best coders, graphicians, musicians, demos and other things.
		The competing works, at least those in the most important competitions, are usually shown at night, using a video projector and big loudspeaker s.

		I guess now would be as good a time as any to mention that I have been to demoparties before.
		In 1999 I was convinced that I was going to enter a demo into the compo, but I pretty much completely underestimated the amount of time it would take to make a demo (even after a bunch of rendering routines and effects were already completed).
		It was basically a slide show and comments on his experience at the Breakpoint demoparty in April.

		The main entrance hall of the "Fachhochschule Köln" (university of applied sciences cologne) in Deutz will be the location for Evoke 2002.
		According to a well known demoscene saying "Watching a demo, having a beer", we will once again try to bring you a demoparty worthy of its name.
		All of you who have been to Evoke will know what we mean, for all the others this is your chance to experience first hand what everybody is always talking about.

		Of course demoparty organisers DO set a filesize limit for them as well, currently between 10 and 20mb.
		The main purpose is to inform sceners about an upcoming demoscene party, when and where it will take place, what compos can be expected, entrance fee etc. Unlike normal intros (see [2.4.]), an invitation intro is usually not limited to a certain filesize.
		On demoparties, one of funniest competitions are "fast" ones.

		After we had found some empty table I was the first one to build up my equipment because I didn't have the stress with hooking on the network.
		I think that networks at demoparties are not really necessary anyway.
		My opinion about inet on demoparties should be clear anyway.

		Janne, our beloved boss started his way into games back in 1987 when he got involved in the demoscene, arranging demoparties etc. In 1997 he got specifically into games, as he was a project lead at Carts Entertainment working on Thrust, Twist'n Turn, a futuristic fast-paced arcade driving game.
		He's the CEO of Bugbear Entertainment which means he's responsible for all the paperwork, general design of the game and keeping Rally Trophy on schedule.
		He started with c-64 and other 8-bit computers and has won a bunch of prizes in demoparties with his coding skills.

		Ambience started off in 1998 as a pure demoparty but expanded its target group.
		Now we can say that this was a positive thing, otherwise Ambience would probably have died like most other demoparties.
		Probably the most familiar kind of computerusers for the general public and definately also the largest group around.

		Smaller demoparties, for 100 persons or less, are held quite often, sometimes even once a month, and usually last for one to two days.
		On the other end of the scale, huge demo parties are held once a year (and four of these have grown very large and occur annually — Assembly in Finland, The Party in Denmark, The Gathering in Norway, and NAID somewhere in north America).

	The Lost Dimension
		I got in touch with other BBS sysops and through this way met Thunderstrike (from future dimension BBS) He asked me to join his big demogroup "Excalibur" did a lot of music releases under this group.
		From this point on i started to visit demoparties (Bizarre '96 @ Etten-leur was the first) and create tracks for the different music compo's (see music area)
		Years passed by and released several tracks, but the demo-scene was dying in the Netherlands (and some surrounding countrys as well) The demo parties itself weren't that interesting anymore due the fact that there weren't much attenders, so no real competition.

		The idea for WOEST was born after Ambience 2001.
		I realized that there were not many Dutch demoparties left, and that most of the parties that still survived would stop to exist soon.
		After visiting sf2k, a fantastic party, I knew what I wanted: a demoscene-only party with emphasis on the social side of the demoscene.

		go out during it, have a beer, i can guarantee you that at any decent demoparty, during such a compo, you will find others outside who'll not even share your beer but also your opinion.
		Five years from now a compo named "Realcode" will be part of every bigger demoparty.
		A small crowd of leftover democoders will compete on various platforms with demo made from scratch and innovative routines.

		I've been to most demoparties in Hungary since 1997.
		Parties were the biggest fun for me in the 1997/98 era - but this might had something to do with my age, too;) I'd still like to see that many people showing up at parties again!
		Sorry for the image quality, I'll digitalize them properly if I find time for that.
