Lovebyte 2025 was a sizecoding competition held online from 15. to 16. February this year. They were hosting many size restricted competitions - going from 32 bytes to 1024 bytes, where coders from all around the world could anonymously submit entries to compete against each other. The 64 byte competition was won by "Starpath", a tiny animated raycaster showing curved 3D geometry with fake lighting, a copper night sky and a few tiny stars, while playing ambient wind sound over the speakers. In the download archive you will find different versions together with commented source code, the smallest one -only 55 bytes- is shown and explained in short (t)here
Author here, i quickly threw together a Python Port on Google Colab which also can generate an animated GIF. It's not meant to be perfectly coded or exactly emulating the assembler instructions, it just produces the same image(s)
