Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
A developer describes creating a 13 KiB video game that runs natively on Windows, Linux, and in web browsers from a single file. The project was inspired by Justine Tunney's cosmopolitan libc project but focuses on creating a compact, cross-platform game executable that works as a Portable Executable (.EXE), ELF64 binary, and HTML polyglot. The article explains the technical challenges of creating such a small, multi-platform game and the development process behind it.
