• 64b MS-Dos into a new era by Desire [web]
• Since 2013, i tried a lot of approaches in tiny intros for MSDOS, with the exception of : 3D raycasting. As a computer scientist with specialisation "computer graphics" i simply was not interested enough in manually asm-coding a brute force raycaster, with regard to already existing, excellent examples like "Spongy" (128b, TBC, 2009) and "Wolf128" (128b, Baudsurfer, 2014). However, i coded several "2,5D" effects like "Lucy" (64b, 2014) and recently "Projektbeschreibung" (32b, DESIRE, 2018). So naturally, at some point i asked myself, what is the smallest 3D raycaster which is perceived as one, being centered, having decent textures and colors, and runs on all common systems (MSDOS, FreeDos, WinXP Dos, Dosbox) while being totally smooth at least on real hardware? The (my) answer is :
  
  49 bytes
  
  That "pure" version is included in the archive - as well as a *42* bytes version which lacks all the criteria above. Going lower in size means that you abandon the "3D" and "raycasting" at some point, leading to something like "Floorcast" (32b, DESiRE, 2018) ... Anyway! So what to do with the "rest" of space to reach the next 2^x category - 64b?
  
  A) "INTO A NEW ERA"
  
  The 64b intro shown at function 2018, it has 64 gray custom colors and softclipping, trying to somewhat imitate the look of "Spongy". I had a hard time to decide between this and a dithered 85(!) shades version that flickers a bit, but shows a full tunnel (no clip)
  
  B) "INTERACTIVE / "Wolf64"
  
  Mouse controlled, escapable version for both real systems (FreeDos, MSDOS, WinXP Dos) and DosBox, 64b and 63b, in the spirit of "Wolf128", just in half the size ;) Don't forget to load a mouse driver on real systems! Note : these haven't been fully optimized
  
  C) "COLORS!"
  
  Custom Color Palettes in Blueish, Purplelish, Greenish, Yellowish, Redish, inverted, whatever, you name it. All of them are 64b or smaller. Some of them look REALLY good, but may flicker noticeably or maybe too dark which is why the released intro itself comes with safe anticodercolors ;)

• 32b MS-Dos tvnoise 16b by Desire [web]
• As this seems to be the last Riverwash, i indeed went for compofiller instead of noshow, my bad, i had nothing else ready ;) Someone said the "grey screen with no music" wave reminded him of the "tv noise" wave, which i knew nothing about. But it reminded me of my own 14b version that was sleeping on my hard drive, which i just quickly rewrote (15b) to work equally on all platforms. No further optimization was done with the existing versions i found in mind. And it's hard to improve on something that small when frag and rrrola already brainstormed about it ;) . Best i can do is the 8b version above, or hacking sound and some style in rrrolas version (12b). Maybe i can make a decent BW version, but i get everybody is fed up already with tvnoise for years now :D Well, i can make the noise form a dragon fractal in 16 bytes, but that one has been released already ^^
  
  Code:adc al,0x10 sbb dx,cx sar dx,0x01 adc dh,bl add cx,dx int 0x10 mov ah,0x0C jmp si
  
  
  
  Anyway, i did a "real" entry for Function (in 64 bytes though), so hopefully that one does not disappoint ;)
