:neofox_facepalm:
I messed up my #sizecoding Makefile. Only noticed now when I compiled "wake up!", a 16 byte intro. The "stats" make target was showing the disassembly's size, not the binary size. I was afraid I was running out of space with my circle drawing code, but I'm only at 52 bytes instead of 900-ish. :neofox_laugh_sweat:

@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.

She’s at the screen and won’t let it go.
"We have to split, kid. Now!"
"Almost got it. It’s not random."
"They'll lock down the zone any moment."
"But I can see the pattern."

A tiny way to compute a square / triangle wave at the same time without conditionals, only basic arithmetic and shifts.
This can be used for #oscillators or animations etc. #algorithm is a variant of HAKMEM 149.
Can also be used to draw a square. (And other shapes, see previous toot)
Code also shows how to draw a diamond shape by rotating the square by 45°.
There are two versions, optimized for size and optimized for speed.

"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.#pico8 #codeart #tweetcart #tweettweetcart #postcart #postpostcart #generative #sizecoding

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.

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.

New video: Let's Code MS DOS: 0x37 Rainbow Surf Analysis
This year's Revision demoparty had a surprising winner in the 256 byte compo. It was Rainbow Surf by Plex/BionFX and it is only 16 bytes long. That is short, very short. In fact, here is the code: c4 04 48 ab 26 03 45 ae 26 03 05 c1 e8 02 eb f2. Let's dissect it!

To my #sizecoding bubble: How can I get some crappy random numbers on x86 IBM PC platforms? I am thinking about reading out a clock port... Or is there a minimal pseudeo RNG algorithm that takes only a handful of bytes? Doesn't have to be a GREAT random number source...
