PostShrink by Kakiarts [web]
::: PS -- PostShrink ::: world's first PostScript 4k demo ::: by KeyJ / kakiarts OK, now here's a ... uhm ... DIFFERENT entry. It was originally made for the vector graphics compo at tUM'05, but the compo got canceled, so don't be surprised to see these vector graphics files in the pixel competition. This entry is actually some kind of a demo/intro -- a PostScript file of only 4085 bytes, containing a simple 3D engine! And I didn't even exploit PostScript's *real*, mighty compression capabilities ... For the non-believers, there's the complete source code in the source/ subdirectory. To compile it, you need Python >= 2.2. Simply type "python prepost.py PostShrink.pp" to start compilation. For the PDF fans, there's a PDF conversion available. But beware, it's about 161k. And no, there's nothing I could do about that. PDF simply lacks PostScript's magic ... For those who have (access to) a PostScript printer, there's a version that can be directly printed on A4 paper. For those who simply want to see the "demo", there's a decent 1024x768 PNG pixel rendering. And for the coders: I'd *really* like to see more of this sh*t in the future! ::: http://www.kakiarts.de/ ::: <KeyJ@kakiarts.de>
