Amazing. The intro was released in 2017, so the title might need a tag. Not sure about the article, couldn't easily find a date. Does anyone know what the assumed rendering technology is? It's a Windows executable, so I guess it can use any Windows APIs for rendering and audio? Direct3D?

Looking at F it appears to use OpenGL

We use OpenGL for rendering and the code is written in C++. We published the source code of other intros of GitHub. For example, this one should give you a good idea of how we do it (although we modernized our engine since that): https://github.com/laurentlb/Ctrl-Alt-Test/tree/master/F
For the audio, we used the synth 64klang - https://github.com/hzdgopher/64klang

The intro was released in 2017. We published the first part of the making-of in 2018 (it was discussed on HackerNews here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16842576 ). A few days ago, I remembered I had an unpublished draft for meshes and decided to finalize it. We use OpenGL for rendering and the code is written in C++. We published the source code of other intros of GitHub. For example, this one should give you…
It doesn't say what the environment is. 64K Commodore 64?
You need a somewhat recent machine to run it, but my 7 year old laptop is doing fine.
Estimated required spec for the graphics: NVidia GTX 680 (recommended: GTX 970 or equivalent) with 1GB VRAM.
If you are interested in learning demoscene stuff, Revision 2023 which is about to take place in roughly two weeks, features some workshops in this regard also available as online streams.
I'm the author of the article, and I'll be at Revision. I'll give a seminar on shader minification -- another topic not discussed in the article.

Looks cool, any seminars/talks you recommend? Also, do you need a ticket to "attend remotely"? I can't find the answer on the site (it mentions a remote ticket but also that it's specifically for participating in competitions and voting).
For seminars, I'd suggest to take a look at seminars from previous years. They are on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@revisionparty/playlists) and you should be able to find something that matches your interest.
On the topic of demo, honestly one of the communities I miss from the twitter downfall is one tweet shaders. As someone without a graphics background, almost everything on https://nitter.net/search?q=%23つぶやきGLSL is straight up pure magic.

You might enjoy checking https://www.shadertoy.com/ . The shaders there are likely to be longer than a tweet, but that also means they're more readable and it can be a good way to understand how they work.
