The point about all three examples is that they are extremely small. Not the graphics quality. Alone the texture for the "GEFAHR"-table could be larger than the first file.

sure, I'll agree, but tiny for the sake of tiny is kind of pointless too. The point is to make it tiny and look good (imo). They did a decent job with the naked chick, though if they could smooth some of the obvious polygonalness (copyright 2007 Satis) of it that would rock. Though the effects in the other one are pretty cool (shaders or deformers or something, I dunno), the overall quality suffers... it looks like Daggerfall.

The snow one...well....I don't know enough to say, of course, but it looks like someone wrote an equation that put pixels on the screen and then oscillates the input variables. Which, frankly, doesn't do a whole lot for me. The prior two demonstrate something of use...the last is just a toy with no real purpose. Not that there's anything wrong with toys, it just doesn't do much for me.

Everything here resembles to formulas. There is no other way to compress all those polygons, animated transformations and virtual instruments on that size.

What to say to your comment - someone is about minimalism, someone about Oblivion, someone about beer, someone about something other, someone combines them.. The first two are are predecessors of kkrieger, which you liked for its graphics, if I remember well. Imho, I'd never be busy making such things in my free time but they do impress me.

As for your colleague Sat, I'm sure you'd need less sophisticated machinery than the 16bytes of hard-code to make a good prank.

hehe...it didn't confuse him too bad. :p By the time he got to his pc, it was minimized. Then he saw it, but it wasn't enough to freak him out. Oh well, it was fun anyway.

btw, hitting esc twice apparently minimizes it too.
