Lovebyte 2025 is over, and it was a blast! There’s been a plethora of insane sizecoding miracles again, from 1024 down to 16 bytes. I’m especially eager to study gigabates’ pretty-looking 256-byte Amiga entry. Also I need to rewatch all the entries of MountainBytes 2025 which also took place last weekend.

I took part in the size-restricted text graphics competition (no more than 256 characters) with a Teletext image alluding to this year’s party theme, “blind date” (editor link).

Blind date gone wrong

Just before Lovebyte started, I had an idea for a Valentine’s card in 512 bytes. Here’s a screenshot, and there’s also a video on the write-up page – it’s got sound! :)

To you, from a secret admirer
