256b.com the 256bytes demos archive

• P01 Tyler Durden: so, it's time for you to buy a domain name and get a descent host ; ) // NinjaDRM: I said it earlier, but I share your opinion
• NinjaDRM P01: So, do the two of us now have the majority?`:D
• insomniac Absolutely right Nijna. The intention was always to only have demos and no games. I had however thought about creating an own archive for them alone. I just never took my thumb out :P
• NinjaDRM Speaking of archieves: I'd really love to download all these goodies here in one package ;)
• B_KiLLeR NinjaDRM: You don't deserve it! ;-> // Insomniac: COULD have a separate archive, but 40 games vs. 400 intros??? It was very difficult to get these anyway, previously i thought that i should find 256 byte games @ 256b.com, but looks like i was wrong... ;-(
• insomniac Killer: nah, there are lots more than just 40 of them! Think I have quite a few of them on my old hd. I'll have to put them up some how. Also none of the entries from the old "fire compo" are listed in the archive. That too I'll have to sort...
• B_KiLLeR Insomniac: I love this kind of games! Wanna swap? Contact me by mail: http://www.256b.com/demo/409 (B.T.W.: P01: i've only added the prods that were (should have been?) released on a compo, for the scene, i hope it's OK)
• P01 256b.com is the 256bytes *demos* archive, so the prods here must be related to the scene, so I think the games B_KiLLeR submitted have their place, but not every 256b game on earth
• B_KiLLeR B.T.W.: Found info on that "$5" worth 256b stuff: http://www.chscene.ch/staticline/000031.html and a lot of assembly+programming+helpPC+RB61+... links(most work): http://www.frontiernet.net/~fys/links.htm.
• P01 thanks, I'll add them in the LINKS
• newbie hello everyone. I have looked at all these demos and I am amazed at what can be done with such small programs.
• LGDT newbie: it is simple: you use your mind a little bit when coding. that's all. (and this is what most of the programmers dont do, so most of the progs suck.)
• DiLA any UK peeps?
• windwakr Is there any way to download all of the demos at once? I've downloaded 96 by hand, but I need a faster way
• sage take a look at the bottom of the right column :>
• Intrinsic Yes DiLA, a few from the UK :) like me! And the complete archive option is not available atm, but will be in future :)
• DiLA ;P -- http://www.haxor.me.uk/asmcompo/view.php?id=9
• windwakr "Sorry, the feature you tried to use is temporary disabled for maintenance. Try again later." Why do you think I asked?
• P01 sorry guys, I know I should have fixed that before, but with my new job and other news in my family I've had no time to jump in the TODO list of http://www.256b.com I'll try ( real hard ) to find the time to fix the "complete archive" this month
• DiLA finished my asm compo contribution :P
• B_KiLLeR I have 256b! Can anyone help me in hosting ~1M internationally? // "wget.exe -t 0 -nc -x -nH -P 256 -r -l 0 -k -D www.256b.com http://www.256b.com/search.php?query=" rulez!
• P01 B_KiLLeR: actually, I could create an archive myself and upload it until I debug the script generating the complete archive when a new prod is sumbitted.
• DiLA http://www.haxor.me.uk/asmcompo/view.php?id=7 <- not sure if all of these are listed here
• B_KiLLeR Anybody for a complete archive? http://www.monkeymanv2.com/users/256ar/
• MathM I'll try to do a little something for that 32 bytes compo !

• Complete archive back ( at last )

  It took 5 months, but I've received the message. Let's put the delay on the count of a new job + some freelance work + more professional contacts + some extreme boredom to touch a code that was working perfectly until the host changed the settings and rights with no warning.2005-06-05 by P01

• Recent problems

  As many of you saw, there's been some problems recently with the downloads. I was away for almost a month for the birth of my nephew when the host of http://www.256b.com had no better idea than changing the configuration of PHP. Therefore all the prods with an ID above 402 are not available. Btw, I received 2800+ mails of errors and a handfull of inmates noticed me the bug too. I'll fix that as soon as possible. Meanwhile, happy new year!2005-01-02 by P01

• Page titles, new skin and other minor changes

  One thing bugged me since a while : the title of the prods did not appear in the title of the pages. That thing is fixed. Adding a wildcard in the SEARCH input is not longer mandatory. Some minor things have changed in the XHTML/CSS. And I made a new skin for the site. Your feedback is welcome.2004-11-28 by P01

• Improvement of the search feature

  Wildcards have been enabled in the SEARCH feature. You can use * or ? like anywhere else. At least that's a significant improvement until I code the Advanced Search feature to allow the search on any field ( name, coder, year, group, ... ).2004-10-21 by P01

• Hello CPC

  256b.com welcomes its first Amstrad CPC intro. It's called "a bouncing pixel" ( http://www.256b.com/demo/463 ). You'll find the URL of an emulator in the LINKS sections and will btw see the new button I made for pouet.net few days ago.2004-10-18 by P01
