Sorry but sand physics is probably doable in a few kb (yes, that's kilobytes) of JS.

This is different and simpler but just 140 bytes (not k): https://codepen.io/KilledByAPixel/pen/WNGQWZG

Nothing in that game justifies being more than 1mb (being very generous...) minified as a browser app.

Of javascript. Which has a stupidly large runtime that is certainly not just a few kilobytes.

Sorry, I have to make one last snarky comment. You can probably include entire firefox along with that a few kb of js and still make it under whatever that 60mb expands to :)

Sure, let's maybe make an electron app.

Ok, was mentioning without the browser runtime obviously.

Opionated take, but I believe that the web common runtime should be part of the OS nowadays.

Even without this, Tauri is 8Mb.
