"If an exchange between two parties is voluntary, it will not take place
unless both believe they will benefit from it. Most economic fallacies
derive from the neglect of this simple insight, from the tendency to assume
that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of
another."
- Milton Friedman

This demo implements a simple light trail technique. The light sources are rendered into a texture. This texture is then blurred and scaled down slightly between each frame and new light rendered into it the next frame. This creates a corona around the light and a light trail as the light moves or the view position changes.

This demo should run on Radeon 9500+ and up and GFFX 5200 and up.
