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.

    Is the site melting or do I just need Chrome?

    I think if you can devise a few variation methods that work at all, you could make a good guess at which lead to the smallest code.

    What you need are thousands of methods of varying the code, and millions of iterations looking for working results, and then a cost function (in this case merely size) to choose the optimal result.
