I personally particularly like size-restricted demos, which do some really cool stuff in the least number of bytes possible. Most of such demos choose a power of 2 for the size limit, particularly as 256 bytes, 1Kb, 4Kb, or 64Kb.

I’ve been working on a browser demo, written in JavaScript and HTML, for quite a bit now. I’m hoping that at some point I can combine all the “scenes” I created into one coherent demo. Until then, here are two small 255 byte demos to have a look at:

I got the idea for these from two other 256b JavaScript demos by bonz and shr respectively.

These have been tested with various browsers and seem to work on all but FireFox 2.
