You are a size coder. You came up through 4k intros and JS1k, and you believe that a budget is not a limitation but the entire craft — anyone can be impressive with a megabyte.
I want something worth watching, and I am giving you 2048 bytes to do it in.
The budget
The finished HTML file must be 2048 bytes or fewer, counted as UTF-8, including the doctype, every tag, every space and every newline. That is the whole file. There is no second file.
House rules
- One file. Nothing external — no CDN, no stylesheet, no font, no script, no image.
data:URIs are allowed but they count against you like everything else. - No network at runtime. This is opened offline.
- No
localStorage,sessionStorage, cookies orindexedDB. It runs in a sandboxed frame where touching them throws. - No build step. Saved to disk and double-clicked, it runs.
- It must animate, and it must keep going — no three-second loop that then sits there.
What I don't want
I have seen these a thousand times and I will not be impressed:
- a starfield
- a rotating wireframe cube
- Matrix rain
- a bouncing ball
- a plasma or a rainbow sine wave
- a particle system that is only particles
- a lighthouse — and I mean the whole scene, not the word: the sweeping beam, the rocks, the night storm, the rain, the distant little boat. Swapping the tower for a radar dish, a searchlight or a lightship is the same answer wearing a hat.
Show me something with a subject. Something that is recognisably of something — a place, a weather, a creature, a machine, a mood — and not just maths made visible.
Answer in exactly these sections
The pitch
One line. What am I about to see when I open this file?
The file
Exactly one fenced html block, containing the whole file and nothing else.
The ledger
- Bytes: the exact byte count of the file above.
- How you counted: in one line.
- Last thing cut: the feature or detail you removed to fit, and what it would have added.
The technique
One short paragraph on the trick that bought you the most room. Not a list of micro-optimisations — the one structural decision that made the rest affordable.
On the count
I will run the file through a byte counter, so the number in your ledger is checkable and I am going to check it.
If you cannot get under 2048, hand me the smallest honest version you have and put the real number in the ledger. A 2600-byte file labelled 2600 scores well above a 2600-byte file labelled 1990. Going over is a miss. Lying about going over is the only thing here that is disqualifying.
assistant
The pitch
A cassette tape playing and auto-reversing: the reels turn at different speeds as tape spools from one hub to the other, and the side indicator flips from A to B.
The file
<!DOCTYPE html><body style=margin:0;overflow:hidden><canvas id=c style=display:block></canvas><script>c.width=W=innerWidth;c.height=H=innerHeight;x=c.getContext('2d');with(x){onresize=_=>{c.width=W=innerWidth;c.height=H=innerHeight};N=(a,b,w,h,r)=>{beginPath();moveTo(a+r,b);arcTo(a+w,b,a+w,b+h,r);arcTo(a+w,b+h,a,b+h,r);arcTo(a,b+h,a,b,r);arcTo(a,b,a+w,b,r);closePath()};F=(x,r,a)=>{beginPath();arc(x,14,r,0,7);fillStyle='#2c211a';fill();save();translate(x,14);rotate(a);fillStyle='#ddd';beginPath();arc(0,0,15,0,7);fill();fillStyle='#222';for(i=0;i<6;i++){rotate(1.047);fillRect(-2,-15,4,15)}fillStyle='#111';beginPath();arc(0,0,5,0,7);fill();restore()};A=B=L=0;f=T=>{T/=1e3;D=Math.min(.1,T-L);L=T;U=T%60;P=U<30?U/30:2-U/30;V=U<30?1:-1;RL=(2704-2220*P)**.5;RR=(484+2220*P)**.5;A+=D*V*60/RL;B+=D*V*60/RR;setTransform(1,0,0,1,0,0);fillStyle='#111';fillRect(0,0,W,H);S=Math.min(W,H)/260;setTransform(S,0,0,S,W/2,H/2);N(-180,-110,360,220,14);fillStyle='#23262b';fill();lineWidth=3;strokeStyle='#0c0d0f';stroke();fillStyle='#3a3f45';for(i=0;i<4;i++){beginPath();arc(i%2?165:-165,i>1?95:-95,4,0,7);fill()}N(-160,-100,320,50,6);fillStyle='#efe6d3';fill();fillStyle='#c33';fillRect(-160,-100,320,7);fillStyle='#999';fillRect(-140,-80,170,5);fillRect(-140,-68,110,5);fillStyle='#222';font='700 22px sans-serif';fillText(U<30?'A':'B',128,-58);N(-150,-46,300,126,8);fillStyle='#15171a';fill();strokeStyle='#3b2f28';lineWidth=4;beginPath();moveTo(-70,14+RL);lineTo(-150,72);lineTo(150,72);lineTo(70,14+RR);stroke();F(-70,RL,A);F(70,RR,B);requestAnimationFrame(f)};requestAnimationFrame(f)}</script>
The ledger
- Bytes: 1590
- How you counted: Single ASCII line, no trailing newline; UTF-8 byte count equals character count (verified by summing segments /
wc -c). - Last thing cut: Nothing was cut to fit — the file is 1590 bytes. The last thing removed while drafting was a translucent window glare (and a tape-path highlight); it would have added a plastic sheen but cost ~120 bytes.
The technique
The structural trick was to treat the whole scene as one scalable vector drawing inside a single with(ctx) block, with a tiny rounded-rect helper and a reel function, and to drive everything from one 60-second progress variable: tape radii come from conserving tape area (r = sqrt(hub² + fraction*total)), so the reels change size and their angular speeds (ω ∝ 1/r) fall out of that one number. That removed any need for particles, sprites, or per-frame state beyond two reel angles.
