Release info: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=52938 http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=52938 Binary: https://files.scene.org/view/parties/2009/breakpoint09/in4k/rgba_tbc_elevated_2016.zip https://files.scene.org/view/parties/2009/breakpoint09/in4k/... Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB0vBmiTr6o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB0vBmiTr6o Everything you see and hear is procedurally generated by the 4096 byte executable, in real time. It still blows my mind 7 years after release...

Here is a presentation put together by one of the guys behind this release that explains a lot of about how it was made.

    Yes, thanks. I'm not sure where my head is today.

    Any mirrors, that is down.

The 4kb genre in the scene is incredibly vibrant the last few years. I think this demo really helped kickstart that.

4KB using directx/opengl, very different from old time writing stuff directly in the video card.
- jheriko 10y ago
  new constraints though... you got a fit a couple of shaders in there too :)
- ekianjo 10y ago
  Exactly, 4kb on top of the hundreds of megabytes of libraries and drivers.
  - userbinator 10y ago
    ...as opposed to another hundred MB or so on top of that.
  - reitanqild 10y ago
    Somehow you make it sound easy or even belittling it. I'd say this is quite an achievement anyway when I know I'd use more space than that just to store a single jpeg or mp3 sample.
    - andrepd 10y ago
      I think what parent was trying to say is that it's absolutely an achievement relative to storing a jpeg or mp3 sample, perhaps not so impressive next to the old 4k intros.
  - DanBC 10y ago
    Could you show me what you can achieve with 4 KB on top of hundreds of megabytes of libraries and drivers?

      You don't have to be a car manufacturer to criticize a car and not an architect to criticize a building. "If you can't do it better, shut up" is a stupid argument.

the part I loved best was how those 4kb uncompressed to over 250MB of GPU instructions
