History
-------

The demo was developed in 1997-2002 without a version control system,
so don't expect real commits.
The initial commit here is actually a complete demo as we released it
at the Lato Ludzików party.
The second commit here is the final release, containing a fix
for uninitialized memory reference and some improvements
such as synchronization of effects with the soundtrack.

In 2016 I prepared an endless loop version for an exhibition.
It's on the [loop](https://github.com/pfusik/numen/commits/loop) branch.
This required some fixes in order to compile the demo on modern Windows
(originally it was built on Windows 98!).
These were real Git commits.
