1K JavaScript Madness

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the fits-on-a-postcard dept.

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.

      I'm not impressed ... maybe I'll try again, but this time I'll turn off NoScript.

    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.
