Javascript Game of Tron In 226 Bytes

Posted by timothy on from the tattoo-sized dept.

Have you upgraded your hardware to play something beefier than 140-byte Tetris? New submitter alokmenghrajani writes with "a detailed view of how we size-optimized a game of Tron to just 226 bytes." It's also optimized for Chrome, and very fast.

  1. Calling this a game of "Tron" is a stretch by readandburn · · Score: 5, Insightful
    It should be called "Drawing-A-Line-In-A-Tiny-Black-Square-With-Terrible-Controls".

    Come to think of it, that might make a better movie than that last Tron.

  2. And how much supporting code? by davidbrit2 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How many megabytes of supporting code are necessary to run those 226 bytes?

    Not to mention this is NOT "Tron" this is just a variation on slither. These don't even look like light cycles they are just dots. Lame. And since when do we not count all the overhead of the browser? I'm sure you could get a 5Kb checkers game by using all the existing code in ubuntu or Win 7 but we wouldn't say that it was really a 5Kb checkers game would we?
