Line 1: [[Image:DemoSample.jpg\|250px\|thumb\|A frame part of an animation displayed in real time. (''Heaven 7'' by Exceed)]] A '''demo''' is a non-interactive multimedia presentation made within the computer [[subculture]] known as the '''[[demoscene]]'''. Demos are the main way for [[demogroup\|demosceners]] to demonstrate their abilities in [[programming]] ("code"), [[music]] ("zik"), [[drawing]] ("gfx"), and/or [[3D modeling]]. The key technical difference between a classical animation and a demo is that the display of a demo is computed in [[real-time computing\|real time]] (like people performing a play compared to showing a movie), making computing power considerations the biggest challenge. Demos are mostly composed of [[3D animation]]s mixed with [[2D computer graphics\|2D]] effects and [[full screen effect]]s.
