    An exploration of algorithmic density in 16 bytes of x86 assembly, creating a unique audio-visual experience using the Sierpinski fractal and real-mode DOS assembly.

    The exploration of algorithmic density in such a compact code size can inspire new techniques and optimizations for resource-constrained systems, potentially influencing the development of more efficient software.
    • Created for an old IBM PC with a monochrome green monitor
    • Inspired by 'Rainbow Surf' from Plex
    • Uses polymorphic asm instructions and jumping into the middle of instructions to save bytes
    • Draws an infinite Sierpinski fractal on screen while playing sound

    Discussion (19):

    The discussion revolves around admiration for a small binary demo, comparing it favorably to previous works and expressing awe at its size and quality. Participants discuss the beauty of computing and the rarity of such artistic creations in industry.

    • This is hell of a good work. A masterpiece to retire after.
    • That other demo didn't even have sound.
    • I'm really impressed.
