A Fluid Vortex That Fits in 1,022 Bytes and Runs on a 386
A developer visualised the Burgers vortex — an exact solution of the Navier–Stokes equations published in 1948 — as two sub-1kB MS-DOS demos. PALETTE.COM animates entirely through palette cycling without writing a pixel after the first draw; PARTICLE.COM runs 200 particles at 35fps on an emulated 386, cut from 2,725 to 1,022 bytes over four passes. JavaScript and NASM sources are published.
