#4Crinkler, the compressing linker, is really interesting. This link inadvertently shows the file_id.diz for Crinkler rather than anything relevant to the rest of Elevated; but honestly I always found the Crinkler stuff to be fascinating.
The project lives on today: https://github.com/runestubbe/Crinkler and http://crinkler.net/

#6Elevated is one of the most atmospheric, cinematic demos I've ever seen, and the fact that it takes only a fraction of the disk space of the icon used to represent it in the file-manager is ridiculous.

#8Man that little "downloads in the past 30 days" tracker is cool. (HN made it a hockey stick.) It'd be cool if every indie/amateur website had that in lieu of the old "webcounter".

Demos of this caliber are like F1 cars from 60 years ago: a single genius, or small team, creating something totally beyond the reasonable expectations of everyone who is familiar with the technology in question.
I really hope it continues to be possible for this art form to exist.
