The main public test build is a Linux x86_64 host package. It starts in the WordPerfect-style full TUI by default and uses libc-hosted input/output paths rather than DOS calls. This build includes the current Block menu, arrow-key submenu navigation, console mouse menu coverage, and refreshed font attribute rendering.

The **demoscene** is a creative subculture where programmers, musicians, and artists build **real-time audiovisual works** ("demos") that push hardware beyond its expected limits. You will find: Bullet: Demos and intros (4k/64k) released by scene groups Bullet: Trackers, chip music, modules, and synth tools Bullet: Pixel art, ANSI, hand-drawn gfx, shaders, and procedural graphics Bullet: Parties, compos, live-coding, and release deadlines
Use the tiles below to jump into the main demoscene boards inside the XT-Emporium Forum, or open the companion **Demoscene App** for tutorials and tooling.
