@s0ftwave1662 Here i have posted some sample code for a 256-byte demo running on Linux. The source code contains very few comments.

https://gitlab.com/metagrowing/demos

32 Bit Assembler code that is able to run on 64 Bit Linux Distro.

“Graphics” here refers to the ability of ESC sequences to change colors in the Linux terminal.

“Sound” means the hardware beeper or the notification sound of a desktop manager.

btw I participated in the Demolab workshop at #Mountainbytes 2026. While it is not much, I am quite happy to have finished a little Demo with #Godot in only two days  Many thanks to @nr4 for providing the music!

Back from #mountainbytes and already wondering what to do next year.

Also, I released a little tune I made on my old Game Boy: https://demozoo.org/music/388229/

Music by Cockroach / Wire Maniacs, released 28 February 2026

I have repeatedly heard that COM files and 16-bit DOS are used for 256-byte size coding.

How does this work on 64-bit Linux? The ELF64 header would require two-thirds of the space. Pointers are four times larger than on 16-bit systems....

Here are my sources for 256-byte size coding on modern Linux:
