I remember there was a site called 256b.org, but it gone now. I made 2 demos and uploaded on that site. Now they are gone. But this is 1000 times more advanced then what I did.... I did a small green rotating rectangle, thats it... :)
@LBcoyote Enough to store a bit more than twenty-five hundred copies of this demo, anyway... Or, to put it another way, at 24 bits per pixel and the standard windows cleartype font for youtube, the pixels in this 'm' (not the character grid, just the 'm') use about the same amount of data.
To put this in perspective: if you copied and pasted the program source code into a Youtube comment, you could almost fit it in *twice* before running out of characters.
@eldwulf Are you sure? I thought 256 bytes was the BINARY size. (Which will be much smaller than the source code, even if the source code is assembly (and it probably was)).
@eldwulf Assuming you actually meant machine code, yep! Here it is in base64: sBNTusgDzRCI2ITLegX26MHoB/briODussni7LEDS3XpaM6fB7dW2+ODAFjfANn73PnfANgM2f7eDGZaBlVgiR+LBd8F9+gpF0979d8HZoEFzcwAANjM2cDYztnK2M3c6tjO3sHZykd7609rEArfGYkXAjQA+3P2mbTmEdnoFQAozNUEBEaJRfxhRSaIAnWu5GBIdZKzAIsp0/0x1QEvAPtz9NbfEFHT6YDFJYsQ9xhp6ACAKyl5Avfd0e0B6okvAPtz7DnKQHIlswJ63ysQQCsQgO5ga9INixRwAkCZKy95AvfdAeqLLwD7c/I5ylkZ0vUY0RDRgPkGcwQA1HWWww==

@Blogapult yeah, the source code for this is actually 6637 bytes and 256 lines of asm code, including comments, whitespaces etc.

This is 3D rendering of lattice effect w/o using any 3D programming libraries or hardware acceleration.
Simply put, it's 3D done w/o using any of the usual 3D components.
Also it's only 256 bytes of code which makes it one of the most elegant programming efforts to date.
