Luxo 4k by rgba & cns

Hmm, what if they made a 4 KB 3D Game? That would be AMAZING!

[lx45803]

@computerfreaq17 Well, .kkrieger is 96 KB, but it still made a pretty big splash in the community, seeing as it has Doom 3-level graphics.

@computerfreaq17 There are many. Check out pouet.net for more.

this makes a really cool beat!

whats the point of doing it in 4K? Not like we dont have billions of bytes of memory. What would really be impressive is to have 4k run in parallel in realtime.

[Gameboygenius]

It's a tradition in demoscene to do things in sizes like 256b, 512b, 1k, 2k, 4k, 16k, 64k, 96k and most other powers of two.

uhh its 2.8 megabytes.

[nasageek]

The video might be 2.8 mb, but the program that generated it is just over 4kb

[supaflyjohnson]

Fuck Pixar.

[nanobronx46]

Not being a tech guy, I don't see what the fuzz is about...

[Gameboygenius]

The program is only 4 kilobytes big. If you don't know what that means... you don't.

[MoreThanMike]

The actual Pixar intro is probably megabytes upon megabytes big.

[silencefreedom]

the art of demos is about how to use codes only to make thing works impossible on its hardware. And also procedural generated the program.

Disney does stuff use lots of soft and hardware while demos is opposite.

@nanobronx46 you mean fuss.

[dannyyoo]

If you appreciate the idea of artists working under incredibly restrictive constraints, like writing a readable novel without using the letter 'e' or 'u' anywhere, that's approximately the scale of what these guys are doing.

They're constraining themselves to only using 4 kilobytes characters to program this animation. This is ridiculously small. To put it in perspectively, a typical MP3 file is at least one hundred times larger than four kilobytes.

[batlin]

More like a thousand times. Pretty impressive stuff!

[altraz2k]

on which system is this runnin´?? cant barely believe this being 4 kb ^^

[Gameboygenius]

Windows. Try following the link in the description.

[aufsturz]

guys at Pixar must have smiled ! fantastic !!

[gregkb]

maaaad skillz! but I'd have rather released it at a party. :) or maybe if steve jobs were there at pixar at the showing... :D

[threepixels]

impressive, congratulations, guys

[timbalandrips]

So this is just a 4 kilobyte executable?! IMPRESSIVE!
