Graphics on the Grass 2009

Thanks to everyone who came out and helped make this year’s Graphics on the Grass into a great success. We hope you all had a great time. If you weren’t able to make it but still want to get involved in ACM, watch out for announcements here and around campus for our upcoming events this semester.

For those interested in learning more about the demos we showed, you can find more of them at http://pouet.net/ and learn more about the demoscene community at Wikipedia. The demos from GotG were Atrium, Nucleophile, Chaos Theory, and Stargazer.

Finally, thanks to Bryan Thompson for taking photos at this year’s event. You can view more of his pictures from GotG here.
