"Agony again"
here's my entry for the Lovebyte 2024 party 256 bytes intro compo. Source below. Code may look bizarre as it was tuned for optimal ROM packing.
Spannende Veranstaltung fรผr alle, die sich fรผr Generative Kunst interessieren, besonders Leute aus meinem #Pythonkurs: Die Lovebyte lรคuft dieses Wochenende. Der Stream ist hervorragend zum Nebenbeigucken: https://www.twitch.tv/lovebytedemoparty
It's called Hellschreiber inspired by a 1920s teleprinting machine invented by Rudolf Hell.
It was quite challenging to get everything down to only 256 bytes, but also fun. There's a bunch of techniques you can make use of like manipulating memory via memory address directly and also there are tools that help to pack the original source code by e.g. removing comments and whitespace etc.
