- 64b procedural graphics Linux Sea of Holes by Desire [web]
- Quote:Might be because I mix header, code and data together, or because I set e_machine to 6 instead of 3... anyway, I uploaded the sources to github (see link)
It's so small, it even refuses to be disassembled :-)
Quote:The exact size of the graphics part is an interesting question. If you say graphics are initialized when there's a register that points to the framebuffer... then the size is actually -2 bytes.when you strip away the header and framebuffer setup, this is pretty much an 8-byte prod!
I ported the basic idea to dos (with some sizecoding inputs from hellmood), and ended up with 6b for initializing graphics mode/setting segment register to the framebuffer, and 7b for the effect (albeit upside-down, so more like a sky of holes). - isokadded on the 2026-05-19 23:20:52
- 256b Linux attraction & decay by Desire [web]
- Thanks for all the comments so far!
Quote:Thanks! flowery was a big inspiration. "If Kuemmel can make a hires 256b... so can I" :). And the RGB bands were a happy little accident. The lines were supposed to be green with an oscilloscope afterglow effect. I bitshifted in the wrong direction, so the "afterglow" went through RGB instead of fading to black. The lines are actually still green, they just turn white thanks to R and B quickly being added.Really dig the RGB channeling here
Quote:It's 1920x1080. I will be releasing a somewhat resolution independent version soon.Which FB resolution does this prod assume?

- 256b procedural graphics MS-Dos balrog by Brainlez Coders!
- Truly great 256b. I can't say that it understand much of the code yet, but all the params seem to be finely tuned... messing with them makes an ugly mess.

- demo Linux MS-Dos Windows MS-Dos/gus FreeBSD MacOSX Intel SGI/IRIX Android Raspberry Pi Aleph Null by Mindlapse [web] & Desire [web]
- Unashamedly retro. Very nice soundtrack. And I didn't know there was an IRIX category on pouet :)

- 256b Apple II Hectic by Desire [web]
- Frankly I had to first look up what the Apple 2 can and can not do... but yeah, it shouldn't be able to do what you've shown. Nice :)

- 32b MS-Dos Wake Up! 16b by Desire [web]
- Code:
int 10h ; set gfx mode 0 (40x25) mov bh,0xb8 ; set bx start of video ram mov ds,bx ; set data segment to video ram L: lodsb ; load a byte from ds:si (initially 0x100) sub si,byte 57 ; si == 199. 57 == 3*19 xor [si],al ; mangle some screen/audio data... out 61h,al ; PPI port B: do speaker stuff jmp short L ; do whatever the fsck you just did again
I see green on the screen, so there must be 0x02 at those places in vram. And 0x02 on port 61h is also the speaker on/off (link).
It's just white when I run dosbox without a special config, and HellMoods config has graphics as cga_mono and
Quote:monochrome_pal = green
That's how the green gets into it.
So... it jumps around in the vram area, xoring 0x02 into random bytes. 57 and 65536 are coprime, so we have a long period until everything wraps around. Why it does the sound that it does - I don't know yet - isokadded on the 2026-05-17 13:41:42
- 32b MS-Dos Wake Up! 16b by Desire [web]
- Yes, that's what I meant when we talked about demos that don't look like their technically limited by their size.
Great work, eager to see the writeup - rulezadded on the 2026-05-17 10:29:32

- The autosize version was broken, thanks to canmom for pointing that out (height was fixed at 768px). I added a download link.
