512 byte Raspberry Pi demo shown at Lovebyte 2025 size-coding demoparty. It came in 8/8 in the modern 512 byte competition.
This is a plasma effect in ARM32 assembly language. It's a Linux ELF executable, statically linked (uses no libraries, calls syscalls directly). Pure ARM32 so it can run on a Pi1, it uses no THUMB, Thumb-2 or division instructions. The sine/cosine are a 3-term taylor series.

Presentation given at Demosplash 2020 on getting fast load times with the Apple II Disk ][ drive using qkumbas qboot routines. This is used by my game demakes, including Myst and Peasants Quest.
Marvel at how much faster the Apple II could be at loading from disk compared to other contemporary systems (especially the Commodore 64).")
