TBC - Untraceable

@Bjawu

The sounds are just extremely simple MIDI.

[Bjawu]

This is insane no matter how you cut it.

However I'm curious about the sound. Are those samples generated? Do they come with DirectX? With the soundcard itself?

[LtLedhead]

This needs to be at least another 8 minutes longer

[KHLV]

Kinda makes you realize how much complexity can be created from a very small set of instructions, huh. Like... life.

AMAZZZZING

[rapsod1911]

Where I can download this demo? I can't believe that this demo is only 1kB.

[Bergen79]

@rapsod1911 You can download it at pouet dot net. You can find all demos there...

[ssri]

Is this track is available to d/l?

[AzaIndustries]

THis is the sort of screensaver I like!

[dustin5234]

How did they pull this off in 1KB? That's insane... I am well and truly amazed. Well. DONE.

[mayhemtv]

Is this coded in ASM!???

[int3rl0per]

@mayhemtv Undoubtedly. 1) It's not that hard and 2) compilers rarely generate _that_ space-efficient code.

C or C++ is OK for the design and testing phase, but when you absolutely need every single byte to count, Assembly is the only thing that gives you complete control over your program.

[SOLdealemana]

sick

[kumbah2006]

Wow ... I like very much! :)

[darkbit1001]

Whoa shit, 1kb!!! The Youtube codec cannot handle the detail!

[johanflod]

@darkbit1001 the 720 version looks slightly better ...

[Muvlonion]

they're called siepinski tetrahedron and menger sponge

[FallingStar404]

serpinsky, I think

[Shadwickman]

@Muvlonion and nice and easy to generate with small, simple loops ;)

[FallingStar404]

this video simply beggars belief

☺☺☺☺☺ stars from me too ^^

[yoavzi]

Honestly(!) my jaw dropped ....

[jimbotron70]

☺☺☺☺☺ (=5 stars)

[loneforce]

thats really one big load of triangles! zillions of them:)

[hooverphonique]

actually i'm pretty sure this is a shader trick and not geometry at all...

[cyborgtroy]

@hooverphonique - Of course, in 2009, it could have been geometry shaders.

[u61d]

Thanks for uploading

[zazoopalIy]

wth is this supposed to be?

[0mateczko0]

It's like "Tracie" with more details and better, longer music... 4kb and 1kb FTW!!!

[newcoleco]

my computer, Intel dual core 2Ghz, nvidia 9600 gt, and the first (and last) part lag is simply slow and glitchy sometimes. but the rest is fine.

[artman40]

This video takes MUCH more disk space than the demo itself. Kinda ironic.

[artman40]

But seriously, this is an amazing demo! Multiple scenes with fractals, colors (combination of cool bluish and warmer brownish) pleasing to the eye, music and all that in 1k!

[Capeau]

thats not ironic, its totally normal

[67BIBA92]

Isn't it 4K ?

[Snotskovlen]

no this one is only 1k, but competed in the breakpoint 4k compo (and got 2nd place)

[67BIBA92]

Okay

Because I read that this is 4K...

Fucking Amazing !

I like it more than the 1st place =)

[TheMadLiteralist]

Actually, it's only a quarter of that.

[silencefreedom]

4k and 64k are for Amiga and PC.

[typesix]

@silencefreedom what?

[pallenda]

this is fantastic

[frontenbrecher]

my gosh!

1k

1024 bytes!

with music!
