256b category
I know there isn't made a whole lot of these for the C64, but still, there are a few (pouet.net sez 5.) So therefore I think there should be a 256 bytes demo category here on CSDB too. |

Quasar you forgot about value combinations in instruction arguments. There is brutally huge ammoun of possible combinations of fucntion calls, addresses, and so on and so on. Maybe if you also limited things like.. addressing area (text screen) you could get more chances but still there would be huge ammount of possible things.. thinking about random routine genrator is almost like trying to make compressor which can compress datas compressed by itself. |

@Quasar:
Even if we limited the number of combinations per byte to 10, it would still mean that the total number of combinations would be a 1 followed by 256 zeroes. So a supercomputer that could test a trillion billion combinations a second would still take 2e+217 (2 with 217 zeroes after) times the age of the universe to test all combinations.
So no, we will never see all possible 256 bytes demos. |

I think 256Byte-Demos are a waste of diskspace! 1Block-Intros are way more efficient ;) |
