Welcome to the official Syntax Demoparty website.


Syntax is a computer festival, dedicated solely to the demoscene - a place to present and celebrate realtime animation (called a demo), pre-rendered animation, graphics and sound. The word "demoparty" is globally used to describe this gathering of computer coders / musicians / 3D and 2D graphics nerds all under one roof being constructive.

SYNTAX 2008 is set to go!

When: Saturday November 8th, 2008. 12pm until late.
Where: Same place as last time - 5 Blackwood Street, North Melbs

Syntax will once again be a free event so be sure to fill out a Registration so we know approx numbers. Cheers!

If you missed out in 2007 be sure to make it this year. The aussie demoscene forums are a great place to contact the organisers and various aussie sceners. If you are new to the demoscene but interested in realtime animation, electronic music or graphics design you should certainly come along to Syntax events.

Syntax 2007 was a huge success and a great time for everyone who rocked up.
You can find the releases on the Download page with links to various post-event pages.
