Contest: Apocalypse 2001
Welcome To The Third NeHe Productions OpenGL Challenge!
This contest was thought up by [SK]Slayer. The point of the contest was to create a demo that best represented the end of earth, life as we know it, our solar system, etc. Basically a disaster that man-kind could not stop, or did not know was coming. All demos were to include full source code and of course they had to compile without any major problems.
The 3 winners could select one of the following prizes (1st place got to choose first): Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer, Sony CRX1611-82U 16x/10x/40x, KB Gear JamCam 3.0. All prizes were purchased using donations and money from my own pocket.
