Here’s a video of my 512b javascript demo, Colorful Tentacle. It’s a web browser demo that I wrote in 512 bytes. It’s coded in Javascript, not Java. Here’s a video of it. To add to the mix, it’s not shown on a desktop browser, but on the Nintendo DS version of Opera.

It warms to see that some people actually reads my blog
(Not just people who happen to stumble upon it in a search engine)

People reading your blog aren’t the only ones reading your blog. I am, too.
And that’s a very nice, sleek and elegant demo.

it’s cool. viewing the source, I wonder how you managed to do it…

It’s all about doing one thing at a time. First do a prototype, then start to shrink it a bit, look for things that can be optimized, replace funciton names with shorthands (like s for Math.sine) and in the end removing all whitespace.
I did of course not write all of that code in one go from the top of my head.
What’s even more sick is that one guy (p01) managed to size-optimize it further from the obfuscated state I released it in. I can add that guy is a Javascript programmer for Opera, and has made a Doom-like javascript game - in 4 kilobytes. Yes, in 3D. Yes, somewhat playable.
Welcome to the demoscene.

wow, it’s amazing how people can use javascript to do all sorts of things. it makes my own scripts look too easy.
