In plain words
This project makes 2,629 demoscene productions from Pouet available to run directly in a web browser. These are typically small, self-contained audiovisual programs created by demoscene artists. The collection is for anyone interested in exploring computer art history and experimental graphics from the demoscene community. The main feature is accessibility—previously archived demos that required specific systems or emulators can now be viewed online without additional setup.

The result is this portfolio of ten classic effects running in a single HTML file. It's all vanilla JavaScript writing to a element, with no external libraries.

And most of my needs were pretty simple: short…
