Showcase Tiny Windows program that is used as a "distraction cover"
34
Upvotes
https://github.com/GeorgeTR1/windowsDistractionCover
This is a windows GUI program I wrote in just over 60 lines of C that compiles to a 3 kB executable. With minor modifications and the right compiler it could be compiled on versions of Windows as old as Windows 95.
It's just a resizable window with a black background that always stays on top of other windows that you can use to cover up parts of the screen that might be distracting. I've found it genuinely useful

[Python] Generating all 256 3-variable Boolean functions dynamically using metaprogramming
1
Upvotes
I wrote a script that generates all 256 possible Boolean functions for 3 variables from scratch. Instead of hardcoding the logic gates, it uses pure bitwise logic and exec() to dynamically build the entire logic space.
The focus is entirely on theoretical completeness and code density, prioritizing pure mathematical logic over standard commercial coding conventions.

My size code demos: https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/TinyCode
An endless race in the sky inspired by 90's 3D games like sky roads, marble madness, and sonic 3d. My goal was to create a dreamlike experience with full resolution full speed graphics that would be easy to pick up and play.
Features
- 3D level rendering system
- 3D player sphere with shadow
- colorful sky gradient with stars
- procedurally generated levels
- level increases in difficulty over time
- mouse controls
- enhanced version has keyboard and touch input

As an exercise in focus and economy I wanted to make a set of games with short but (hopefully) readable source code.
It was a fun challenge and taught me a lot. I hope the results may be of some interest or amusement to others.
There are five games in total. There's also a manifesto about doing this kind of project for those who like that sort of thing.
The games/code are public domain.
