There is only one week left to submit your entries for NRG 2026! We have plenty of cool, unconventional categories for which you can create an entry in a relatively short amount of time. We also accept remote submissions. Check this out! https://nrgevent.eu/compo/

An endless night flight through a procedural megacity: street canyons, loops, barrel rolls, knife-edge along the facades, a climb through the storm clouds and a dive back down into the neon.

Nothing is modelled: the city, every window light, the flight path and the music are generated at runtime.

+ Music: synthwave from our own softsynth, no samples. Oscillators, filters and reverb, all realtime, and the music follows the flight phase (street, climb, sky, dive)

+ Sync: lightning strikes and glitches are scheduled through the music, so they hit right on the beat

+ Fits on a SD Disk: native C++, OpenGL 4.5/4.6. On Windows the exe is under 300 KB. Linux build ~320 KB (X11/GLX, ALSA)

+ Scaling: runs on everything from an Intel N150 mini PC to an RTX 5080; quality adapts to the measured GPU time

Grab the mouse and fly yourself: dive into the street canyons, turn at intersections, punch through the clouds.

Windows: also works as a screensaver (rename-free, the .scr is in the zip).

Linux: standalone demo for now (x86-64, glibc 2.34+, runs on X11 and XWayland), tested on Mint.
