Am I the only one who was never all that infatuated with the boing-ball demo? I'm sure it was kind of cool at CES and all, but compared to absolutely anything else that makes use of the Amiga hardware it's pretty underwhelming...
Yes, later demos were much more impressive, and got much more out of the Amiga. However, the boing-ball demo was what first got people's attention. When I wrote this remake, my goals were to test certain aspects of the RadeonHD driver, and to prove a concept (3D rendering using 2D compositing). The boing-ball demo's simplicity suited these goals just fine.
