Surprised nobody commented on bb yet. This thing is really impressive - and I thought that mplayer -vo caca is jaw-dropping!



and then realising the last time the BB project page was updated was 1997.. 20 years ago!

(http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/bb/)


bb is not a project, it is a demo[1] from the demoscene. It ranked 10th at abduction 1997[2].

The demoscene is an unending source of awesome and amazing. The 4k and 64k categories will blow your mind, if you ever wondered "can a FPS game could be done in under 100kB?", the answer has been released in 2004 and its name is .kkrieger[3]
