Yes, there is a generation of programmers that doesn't believe something like File Pilot is even possible.

They'd be very confused at something like "A mind is born" then?

7030 times smaller than the file pilot.

This was on the cover of a book and it prints a maze using block characters? copilot said the block characters part but not the maze, i remembered that after seeing the "one of two block characters."

unfortunately that requires a BASIC to run, which will probably be larger than 256B and possibly even 1800000B - the mind is born .prg can just be "run" on the computer it was written for with no interpreter.

yes, I am aware of the Commodore 64 :) and I also know what machine code is.

Generation? Are you for real?

I just don't really see drawing like that by binaries that small. Though I've seen plenty of demoscene, not really the same.

I just checked one of the project pages (behind some links - here: https://filepilot.handmade.network) and the first post says C with OpenGL. Boy is it rare to see one of those nowadays.
