1KB JavaScript Demoscene Challenge Just Launched

I just launched JS1024 — a creative coding challenge with a strict limit: 1024 bytes of JavaScript.

No libraries. No frameworks. Just raw code.

You can submit visual effects, generative art, tiny games, synths, or whatever you can fit into 1KB of JavaScript.

→ https://js1024.fun/

Think of it as a spiritual successor to JS1k or the 4k demoscene — with a modern twist.

Would love feedback, ideas, or help spreading the word. And if you’ve ever made a tiny JS demo, please share — I’d love to see it.

Why did you use ChatGPT to write your submission text? I can't speak for everyone, but it makes me much less likely to check out your project as I have less faith in it.

Three emdash's, "spiritual successor", "modern twist."

So I can't use em dashes, without people thinking I am a bot? :-o. But have to say, the "modern twist" is a weird addition that is not natural. There is nothing modern about it.

Those are just for ChatGPT specifically, personally I know a ton of peculiarities from a wide variety of models that seem eerily consistent across prompts. You're very unlikely to accidentally use them though, much like spamming em dashes everywhere.
