- The making of is well worth a read: https://phoboslab.org/log/2021/09/q1k3-making-of
- Love the ingenuity of the texture DSL. So much variety can be packed into a small footprint.
- Epic. That's super cool. That dog thing is very cute though, I felt bad.
js13k is super cool. Here is my favorite game from there: https://js13kgames.com/2022/games/infernal-throne
There was also some kind of java4k thing back in the day. Notch did a bunch of those:

- Some previous discussions:
- I read the whole writeup assuming it was LLM assisted, then when I got to the bottom I realized it's from 2021 and was blown away.
- Does this make you question the accuracy of your personal LLM detector?
- Blown away as in he had LLMs before anybody else did?
- Does it work on mobile?

- Great job!
- I definitely recommend checking out all top games from this competition over the years. Quite a few gems.
- This is really remarkable, and frankly more playable than a number of niche ports like this that I've tried - great work!
- very cool, try it with other games
- Imagine, if someone would start making operating system and its applications that are just kilobytes in size. RAM price crysis would resolve in a day.
- Very epic stuff
- the Wolfenstein3D-like game in only a few hundred bytes WITH SOUND might be even more impressive even though it's like exploits all the way down
oddly can't find a link to it at the moment
- Not sure if this is what you were thinking about, but .kkrieger was 96 kB and looked very impressive when it was released: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=12036
- well there have been micro attempts over the years
like this is 512 bytes (half a K)
https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=83795
but the one I am thinking about had textured walls and sound
it used some insane levels of packing and exploits to render
