(About the author)
 
     This code demonstrates how to achieve some of the oldschool assembler Demo effects using C# and GDI. No directX! Includes fire, plasma and parallax stars. Fully commented. BUT WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THIS STUFF?! Because we can and those old demos were the coolest things ever!

This is an excellent example of how to use LockBits and do pixel-by-pixel manipulation. The effects are cool too.

That's a great point, Carlos. Anymore the good sites that explained how to do these have gone by the wayside and not everybody comments their ASM. Soon to come: water, raindrops and 3D rotation with GDI. Those are a serious pain to figure out anymore. Demos pwn!
