Getting an IRIX Demo Scene going
I know this is on another level from say, the demos on the C64 or Amiga. There's far more abstraction to worry about, and IMHO, if it bypasses the OS, it kinda doesn't count, but that's just me. 

But I'd like to one day see someone do some actual visual demos. Yes, I know that rendering scenes is something hobbyists do here and stuff, that's not exactly what I mean. 

I mean more along the lines of say, the Ka-boing demo by Kay-Bee, just actually pushing system limits though. I suppose we'll need to help document the OpenGL capabilities of IRIX firstly, though.

Anyone have any ideas that if we found some community members to do this, what you'd like to see?

For me, it'd be kinda cool to see IRIX running Bad Apple as a 3D demo for it, in the vain of the classic demos you used to get with IRIX.

Technical problems should be sent my way.
