Wow, this (http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=61298 (http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=61298)) just made the front page of slashdot (Interactive Raycaster For the Commodore 64 Under 256 Bytes - Slashdot (http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/05/15/1913222/interactive-raycaster-for-the-commodore-64-under-256-bytes))

The slashdot page has links to more information and the source. Quite an amazing feat on any platform in that size... :o

Sure is.

I just made a mask table which is that size.

Quite depressing really. ::)

A bit over blocky, but impressive.

@redbox: I just saved a BLANK Winword Doc that was 49 times bigger. That enoys me the most about modern software :(

Yep, roughly the same size as a 16kb ROM. :o
