1K JavaScript Madness
An anonymous reader writes "JS1k has a simple goal: to get programmers producing demos written in JavaScript that are 1k in size or less. That's just 1024 bytes to play with. There's even additional bonus points on offer if a demo's code can fit inside a single tweet. Now that the contest is finished and there is a top-ten, I'm wondering what they can do if given some extra bytes." I like the Tetris clone. The pulsing wires demo is neat too but kinda stuttery on my machine.
About javascript in their tweets...

In a few weeks you'll find out at js1337.com ;0)
Is there a Javascript app for "This site has been Slashdotted"?
Liberal? Conservative? Compare perspectives at Left-Right
That's a joke, right? Do you really expect Internet Explorer to run cutting-edge web stuff?
Try Chrome, Safari, Opera or Firefox.
Today, a day that will live in infamy, I was beaten by a 1000 byte program.
If video games influenced behavior the Pac Man generation would be eating pills and running away from their problems.
Chess in 1024 bytes and I can't win it. What a shame.
That's nothing. Try this short game written in BASIC.
10 GOTO 40
20 PRINT "YOU WIN"
30 GOTO 50
40 PRINT "YOU LOSE"
50 PRINT "GAME OVER"
I can't believe this story's been up for nearly two hours and no one's rushed in to explain that these are one kibibyte demos, thus depriving us of our right to make fun of them and their dumb-sounding pet units.
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
