"Dark Ages"
The first couple of nights after they cut the power were just scary. Then the looting and burning began. Streets in flames. And that smell. You didn’t have to die to go to hell.

not the most creative effect, but I had fun making this pseudo-voronoi diagram thingy. haven't touched PICO-8 or sizecoding properly in around a year so it's good to get back to it. 299 bytes postcart, excluding the header comments for the cart image

"Spring"
The problem with synthoids was that they simply thought too much, overly fixated on optimization. The organics played the long game, dancing patiently since the dawn of time.
A very simple way to draw HAKMEM 149 based structures by using whole 32 bits range with upper bits as coordinates using unsigned shifts.
This also works with a lower range but it loses precision.
The oblique version is even simpler by removing the last two operations.
The structure looks like Apollonian net or Hopalong attractors.
This drawing method also works with other attractors or Gingerbread man map etc.

Up to the meta-level!
We have prepared a special DJ set, that is constructed of DJ-Sets we had in the past. Can you guess who is playing?
All this is wrapped into a nice paper: The DJ Set will get supported by over 300+ effects we have on board from the last bytejams. Be ready for a true extravaganza!

Meet our special: Tiny Wonders - A poem about Sizecoding.
Join us at Lovebyte 2025 on February 15-16th, 2025.
Narration and music by Jeenio.
Believe it or not, but #lovebyte is almost around the corner.
Only one week left, until your favourite #sizecoding demoparty will start.
So, you hear Sizecoding all the time. What is that?
Sizecoding is about writing very small programs, that do amazing things.
There are two good starting-points:
1. This introduction video: https://youtu.be/foaXTw45hjA?si=6yIPPqEaMrgXWQhR
2. At http://www.sizecoding.org you find good resources to get started on many systems.

"Inifinite Scroll"
The altar was surrounded by countless skeletons. Above it, the scroll of immortality floated silently. What does it say? "Thou shall die if ye cease reading!"
Oh, no!

"Symmetry"
You can hear the pagans across the river, yelling like demons around their bonfires. Oh, how you wish you could join them. Their euphoria is as vast as your dogmatic sorrow.

Lovebyte 2025, ultimate online sizecoding festival.
Feb 15-16 on Discord & Twitch! 
Theme 2025 is, "Blind Date," all entries are shown anonymously - admire the creations before knowing the creators!
Compete in #sizecoding intros (32-1024 bytes), graphics, #bytebeat music, #nanogames, wild showcase and more.
Enjoy #seminars, #Bytejam, DJ sets, introshows, and more. From retro platforms like #Atari, #Commodore & #ZX #Spectrum to modern systems, everyone’s welcome!
One of the most amazing things #demoscene has produced is creating art with insane platform / size limitations. Most of the time the constraints are coming from the platform or the rules, but sometimes they're self-imposed: Just because everyone else is doing bloaty stuff you don't have to.
Here are couple of my all time favourite intros/demos that totally blew my mind not only for their amazing presentation, design and technical execution but also for their insanely small size:
- RGBA & TBC: Elevated (intro, 4KB): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB0vBmiTr6o
- Farbrausch: fr-041: debris (demo, 177KB): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY5Vrc5G0lk
- Alcatraz: Remnants (intro, 256 bytes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9jn6ExjDw8
- Mercury - fermi paradox (intro, 64KB): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX7ESVZ7T6Y
"Visual Calculus"
"In the photo of your missing brother... this rug was on the wall, wasn’t it?"
"Yes, detective. But I’ve redecorated," he said - and used it to cover his blood, he thought.
