As Jare said. Lots of info around https://github.com/psenough/teach_yourself_demoscene_in_14_d... https://gargaj.github.io/demos-for-dummies/#intro/1 https://demobasics.pixienop.net/ https://github.com/psykon/awesome-demoscene http://www.sizecoding.org/wiki/Main_Page https://www.lofibucket.com/articles/64k_intro.html

The demoscene operates very differently from other software communities in that it's inherently competitive. That means that different coders, or groups, try to keep what they're doing (and how) a bit secret so as to gain a competitive edge. Most of the coders I know who produce for the scene honestly start with books on graphics or sound and work their way up from there. It takes years to produce a collection of effects, techniques and code that you can pull from to make a great production. Early productions by people new to the scene are usually fairly simple with only a few effects or scenes, but if they keep at it will grow from there. That being said there are some scene "tutorials" that can help: https://github.com/psenough/teach_yourself_demoscene_in_14_d... https://in4k.github.io/ http://www.sizecoding.org/wiki/Main_Page ftp://ftp
