Challenging yourself, one byte at a time

The whole internet, in less space than a text message.

There's a competition called js1024. The rule is simple and slightly insane: build a game, entirely in JavaScript, that fits in 1 kilobyte.

For context, this webpage so far is already bigger than that.

People have built working games in this space... including Racing games, platformers, physics simulations with gravity and collision detection.. You can see the 205 winners here.

It's a small, strange corner of the internet where people treat code less like plumbing and more like poetry. Every character of code needs earn its value.

Worth a look next time you want to feel inspired... but also a bit geeky.
