@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.

Trying to learn some #DOS #sizecoding during lunch break. First mistake that qualifies as a happy little accident.

New video: Let's Code MS DOS: 0x37 Rainbow Surf Analysis

This year's Revision demoparty had a surprising winner in the 256 byte compo. It was Rainbow Surf by Plex/BionFX and it is only 16 bytes long. That is short, very short. In fact, here is the code: c4 04 48 ab 26 03 45 ae 26 03 05 c1 e8 02 eb f2. Let's dissect it!

#retrocomputing #demoscene #sizecoding #msdos #letscode

To my #sizecoding bubble: How can I get some crappy random numbers on x86 IBM PC platforms? I am thinking about reading out a clock port... Or is there a minimal pseudeo RNG algorithm that takes only a handful of bytes? Doesn't have to be a GREAT random number source...
We presented our new 8kb PC intro at @revisionparty called Aenigma with code and gfx by Kali and music by me.

8k Linux Demoscene Template

YouTube

A little Linux demoscene starter application I've written (C + GLSL):

A C demo template. It makes an executable that's 7kb and can be shared to other systems.

I've use my superformula SDF code from years on back.

Uses _start syscalls and eschews the standard library in order to be that size.

It also only uses libGL and libX11, that's it.

That said: I have no idea how people manage to make 4k demos, ha.

For #ThrowbackThursday, here's an image I rendered in 2002 using POV-Ray. It was when I first got interested in #SizeCoding after seeing what others had been doing, so I tried to make as cool of a scene as I could using the shortest code possible (only 466 characters here). The original render was 1024x768, which was my monitor resolution at the time, and it took quite a while to complete. Now I can render it at 8000x6000 in a minute forty, which would have blown my mind back then.
