## What can we learn from demo groups trying to coax 40yo hardware into doing things its designers never imagined?
|
|
|
|
[Eon](https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=81094) is an Amiga 500 demo by the group The Black Lotus,
|
|
which took home first price at [Revision Party](https://revision-party.net/) demo combo. Andreas had
|
|
his hands all over this demo and will share the mindset and approach that led to the demo to be completed
|
|
after four years of work. Many of the lessons stem from embracing constraints and not settling for the obvious.
