Uhh, pretty! Nice blur-like effect.

Wait - there's a contest for "few code, many objects"?

Man, imagine if you could describe POV-Ray scenes in Haskell... >:-D

Actually, SDL is powerful enough to implement Ackermann's function,
which means that with *very* little code you can create so many
objects that it will quickly overwhelm all CPU power and memory in
the world combined. (Ah, the joys of recursion...!)

Of course, the *usefulness* of such a thing is questionable, so I've
chosen to interpret the contest as "with as little code as possible,
create as many objects as possible that would result in a
_meaningful scene_".

Beatiful picture, IMO. It never ever dawned on me to put light sources
inside a routine, thanks for the idea.

I've done it before, but it tends to overwhelm the scene if you're not 
careful.

Here, it came out great :)

Great effect, the image would look even better with a bit of focal blur but
I guess with that many light sources and objects you would need all the
computers in the world to render it... How long did the render take?

About one and half minute, few time... I haven't enought pacience to wait a
slow render (more than 5 minutes)

My computer is a AMD Athon 2000 with 384 RAM and w2000 SP4 server

I will try render with focal blur
