Hi @shana thanks for talking about #demoscene, #Mountainbytes and #wikipedia at #CoSin2026.

On that note: while we've been a little quieter as of late, this was by no means out of nothing happening.
Here are some of our latest news updates: #demoscene & Chill at the @digiges #winterkongress, a retrospective of #mountainbytes, "Between Steps", a #demoscene art exhibition at @revisionparty and a heartfelt farewell to our fellow organiser, @memdmp .

@s0ftwave1662 Here i have posted some sample code for a 256-byte demo running on Linux. The source code contains very few comments.
https://gitlab.com/metagrowing/demos
32 Bit Assembler code that is able to run on 64 Bit Linux Distro.
“Graphics” here refers to the ability of ESC sequences to change colors in the Linux terminal.
“Sound” means the hardware beeper or the notification sound of a desktop manager.

btw I participated in the Demolab workshop at #Mountainbytes 2026. While it is not much, I am quite happy to have finished a little Demo with #Godot in only two days :blahaj: Many thanks to @nr4 for providing the music!

I have repeatedly heard that COM files and 16-bit DOS are used for 256-byte size coding.
How does this work on 64-bit Linux? The ELF64 header would require two-thirds of the space. Pointers are four times larger than on 16-bit systems....
Here are my sources for 256-byte size coding on modern Linux:

The Revision coffee machine at #mountainbytes killed the Internet (well, the power phase it was all connected to) by short-circuit. Meanwhile, there is a replacement machine and the Internet is back too.

We not only had a fantastic evening at @vcfe_ch in Solothurn yesterday, but also went to #comparade #demoparty and released a little something!
Here is our #mountainbytes invitation in its full glory, thanks to everyone who contributed movie poster designs!
You will be able to appreciate all of them live on our walls in February, of course! :)

@stefanhoeltgen @sceneworld Ah, I see.
Last time I got a 5,25" floppy was at #Mountainbytes 2023. It was given to me by someone from the Demogroup "Atlantis" containing their C64 Demo "Mu-Mu Land".
