Raw Blame History

-- Neon Coast: a demo for Singe, to "Neons in Napoli" by eliza_music.
--
-- An eighties night drive, each scene on the bars of the track it belongs to: where the bass drops
-- out, where it slams back, the breakdown, and the dead stop before the last chorus. The song's
-- structure is in demos/README.md, and sync.lua holds what util/demoSync.py heard in it. Every
-- motion runs on the music's clock, never the frame count, so it stays with the song on any machine.
--
-- What it shows off: the 3D scene (a chrome logotype, a chrome knot, and the dragon under a sky they
-- reflect, glass, bloom, fog, a neon city, mountains, a cloth flag waving in the wind), everything
-- per pixel worked out live in Lua (the tunnel, the plasma, and the tape's snow, handed to sprites
-- and to surfaces in 3D every frame), and sprites rotated, scaled, tinted, and added together: a
-- road drawn a screen row at a time, a car rendered by Singe into sprites, vector bobs, scrollers of
-- five kinds, a rotozoomed logo, and fireworks. Nothing on the screen is a recording.
