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.</p><p>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:</p><p>- RGBA & TBC: Elevated (intro, 4KB): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB0vBmiTr6o" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=jB0vBmiTr6o</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>- Farbrausch: fr-041: debris (demo, 177KB): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY5Vrc5G0lk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=jY5Vrc5G0lk</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>- Alcatraz: Remnants (intro, 256 bytes): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9jn6ExjDw8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=A9jn6ExjDw8</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>- Mercury - fermi paradox (intro, 64KB): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX7ESVZ7T6Y" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=gX7ESVZ7T6Y</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/sizecoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sizecoding</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/codeart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>codeart</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/creativecoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>creativecoding</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/generative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>generative</span></a></p>
