There is a moment in that you can't reduce any in your code. My code is 78bytes/table 36bytes. The secret is improve your compressor and change input. My...
Well, I’m currently at 719 and I’m using crunching plus some Huffman-like codes (not a true Huffman, but using the same higher frequency, less bits / code...
Possibly we use similar algoritms, but implementation differs a bit. With the entry size can be guessed the algorithm. Run length encoding for 1000+. LZ only...

My current algorithm is based on the initial crunching method (RLE) + my Huffman-like codes (no LZ step). So my entry is 94 bytes decoder (which probably can...

... I think this is because I'm using the permission to swap upper/lower blocks as long as the overall image stays the same. The rules explicitly allow this,...
... That's correct. The rules are the authority. The testers are only to help assure that you're following the rules. Tester2 is more permissive than the first...

Way to go, Chut! I probably don't need to remind everyone that there are only 10 days left to squeeze those bytes. Good luck! Boreal ... From: "Loren Blaney"...

Wow, really amazing results, from all of you. It took me quite some time to get better than the example.com.. Now I've spend some interesting time diving into...
Hi there, I was updating my entry this weekend and trying it under Windows when I noticed that the Windows XP DOS box doesn't seem to make video memory ...
Hi Stefan, Whereas I symphasize with you greatly, a strict reading of the rules says that we cannot allow your entry. The general rules state that it must work...

... Boreal is right. Your entry must display the image if entry.com is called directly, too. It must not rely on the tester for switching to mode 3. I've now...
Hi everyone, ... Okay. I can live with that. Actually, I have found a code-size neutral way of solving this for my entry; I will submit my updated entry later ...
... Great! ... Just to clarify: according to the rules, if one of your color attribute bytes has bit 7 set then you must disable blinking (flashing) by doing ...

Hello everybody! The compo is almost over, and I have no time to write my program in assembler. My compression data is 442, the decoder is quite complex, I...
Hi TFx! I'm interested, and I'm sure others are too. Definitely post it tomorrow. Only a few hours to go and lots of bytes to go ... Sigh. Anyway, it's great...

Hello all! This compo was fun! :-) Thanks for the event! The beta pack seems to include an not up to date rulepack. Did we have to do cleanup at the end of the...
Using the character above for context as well... wish I'd thought of that. Well played! Pretty tight code too... wish I had tried binary arithmetic so I didn't...
Hi All,             It was a great compo!!. Congrats to everyone.            I was too lazy to try anything more than RLE. :) ...
As promised, I post my C program. It's a custom distance coding implementation, using a walk algorithm and huffman coding for the distances. Data is 442, I...
Hello again Noted that Beeblebrox uses UPX (makes avast antivirus angry for some reason). The general rules say: Unless stated otherwise, your entry must NOT ...
Thank you very much for organizing this compo! it has been great fun. I discovered this a few days before deadline, but still felt that I had tried the ideas I...
