Enjoy #seminars, #Bytejam, DJ sets, introshows, and more. From retro platforms like #Atari, #Commodore & #ZX #Spectrum to modern systems, everyone’s welcome!
This weekend is NOVA (https://novaparty.org/), and they have a <= 256 byte compo going on that might be split into 128 and 256 if enough entries are submitted.
Deadline is tomorrow at noon (BST), so plenty of time to finish a work-in-progress or do a nice little compofiller!
Livestream will be at https://www.twitch.tv/ukdemoscene .
Go and support the sizecoding scene! 🥰
The Lovebyte-Party is all about sizecoding. But what is sizecoding exactly?
Make graphics / sounds with extremely short code. Dec2024 coders came together to celebrate Tiny Code Christmas: an initiative to promote sizecoding, mostly to newcomers.

The Lovebyte 2025 festival will feature two complete days of sizecoding fun in many different categories and with participants of all skill levels.
Another lovely day, another special invitation! This tiny yet magical 256 byte intro by GeirS was lovingly crafted for the legendary Commodore 64. Yes, really! The C64 may not be the first thought for tiny intros, but oh, how beautifully 256 bytes can shine. Made with care - just for you! Come celebrate tiny intros with us. Next weekend!

There will be an online Jam with three anonymous ZX Spectrum Jammers joining at Lovebyte 2025.
The event will last about an hour, offering a unique, nostalgic experience. The participants will be using Bazematic, a browser-based ZX Spectrum live-coding environment.
The anonymity of the jammers adds an element of mystery, allowing the focus to be purely on the creativity and skill displayed.
So, you hear Sizecoding all the time. What is that?
Sizecoding is about writing very small programs, that do amazing things.
There are two good starting-points:
1. This introduction video: https://youtu.be/foaXTw45hjA?si=6yIPPqEaMrgXWQhR
2. At http://www.sizecoding.org you find good resources to get started on many systems.

Nice little funky bytejam going on over at @hackfestnl@hsnl.social , stream live at https://www.twitch.tv/outlinedemoparty.
Up to the meta-level!
We have prepared a special DJ set, that is constructed of DJ-Sets we had in the past. Can you guess who is playing?
All this is wrapped into a nice paper: The DJ Set will get supported by over 300+ effects we have on board from the last bytejams. Be ready for a true extravaganza!
