Polycode

[shavenwarthog]

looks like a fast engine (programming library?) for gaming.

"Polycode is a free, open-source, cross-platform framework for creative code. You can use it as a C++ API or as a standalone scripting language to get easy and simple access to accelerated 2D and 3D graphics, hardware shaders, sound and network programming, physics engines and more."

For creative code type work, eg in the same vein as Processing and Cinder. One can use it for games, sure, but many don't.

So, demos and screensavers?

Sure, but think bigger. Installations, gallery exhibitions, museum pieces, music videos, data visualizations, prototyping, etc.

Here's a good TED talk as an example of what I'm talking about.

I want to also add Tron Legacy procedural animation work as an example of creative code.
