History
The first issues were in German language and were released in 1996. From issue 11 on the magazine issued in German and English. With issue 18 the German part became a separate magazine called Hugi.GER. Moreover, in the years 1998 to 2000 there was a weekly newsletter which continued the tradition of similar publications such as Demonews. 1996 (MCMXCVI) was a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year for the Eradication of Poverty. ...
Regarding the contents, Hugi developed from a kind of electronic school magazine to one of the most successful and long-living demoscene and underground magazines. The contents are mainly based on contributions from the readers and only proofread and formatted by the editors. Topics include graphics, demos, demoparties, programming, other diskmags, reports, politics and literature. Each issue also features graphics and background music.

Issues 32 issues were released until August 2006, 17 of which were partially or completely in German. 12 issues were also translated to the Russian language. Moreover, five issues of the German language offspring Hugi.GER, 38 newsletters and 2 special editions (Coding Digest, Hugibox music disk) were released.
Significance - Hugi was one of the first diskmags that was released as a Windows executable (September 1998). Moreover, it was a dual DOS and Windows diskmag for 6 issues (September 1998 to August 1999). Both facts were strongly noteable at this time and caused a lot of discussion.
- Hugi was intended to be a middle-ground between demoscene "underground" and beginners.
- Hugi was and is important for hobby software developers because it explains algorithms, graphics effects and so on.
- Hugi was and is one of the best-looking diskmags with smart usability. Some famous (in the demoscene) artists drawed pictures and interface graphics for the magazine.
Criticism Hugi has attracted a large amount of controversy itself roughly after its 26th issue; many sceners complained that a large portion of articles are uninteresting and not related to the demoscene itself. This problem was further emphasized by the fact that Hugi editors were accused by spamming demoscene forums by requests for articles, even though a considerable portion of the scene has denounced Hugi by this time. [4] [5] Interest has been since rekindled for the latest issues, as the editor crew has announced to apply more intense quality control over their articles.
The 30th issue of Hugi was a subject of confusion when it appeared that the 'demoscene' section of the magazine could only be accessed (conventionally - the test was relatively easily bypassable with e.g. trial and error) through a self-confessed 'IQ-test'. [6] The test was viewed by most demoscener readers as gratuitous and not serving any practical purpose. Trial and error is a method for obtaining knowledge, both propositional knowledge and know-how. ...
Authors The main editor of Hugi, Claus D. Volko (Vienna, Austria), is also known as “Adok” in the demoscene. The Hugi staff consists of Hugi Core (active members) and Royal Family (honorary members). Many others contribute to Hugi without being a part of the staff.

The magazine uses the engine Panorama, which was created for Hugi by the Polish programmer Chris Dragan. Many other electronical magazines are nowadays also based on it. This article contains a list of magazines distributed on cassette, floppy disk, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM—collectively referred to as disk magazines. ...
Hugi Size Coding Competition The Hugi staff also hosts a popular series of online Assembler programming and size-optimizing contests called “Hugi Size Coding Competition”. The objective is to implement a given program using as little space as possible. This results in executable files with a size of far less than one kilobyte. Since 1998, 26 competitions have been held so far. The number of participants per contest is usually 20 - 80. Participants come from virtually all over the world (North America, Europe, East Asia, South Africa, Australia,...). Every contestant gets points depending on the size of their entry. After each competition, the entries are released together with source codes, and a discussion in a mailing list occurs in which objections regarding the validity of the entries can be made. The authors of invalid entries will get penalty. Once a year, a "world league table" is generated in which the points from all contests held in that year have been added together. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Assembly language. ...
