So a few of us in #kaibacave had this bright idea (well it was mostly mine, but that's aside the point.) That is, we'll all attempt to write something *functional* in less than 8 kilobytes of code. That gives you 8192 characters of breathing room.

I'm going to go ahead and say there are virtually no restrictions, except that markup languages can't be used (obviously!), and code that runs your program needs to be less than 8K. Compiled languages (like C) that need things like Makefiles can be omitted from this count. External files can be used if your program needs them, as well as external libraries.

Disclaimer: this post was hacked up in a hurry. Corrections will be added accordingly

Now, LET'S PROGRAMMING!

So kind of like the IOCCC but no language restriction?

I'll make a quick replacement for PMA because it's running really slow on my website .

I wasn't going for obfuscation.

Although that does sound like a fun challenge to run around here. 8D

Here's something I hacked up: a simple python script showing the hexadecimal representation of a file (similar to the output of xxd): 
import sys as a

e=xrange;filef=open(a.argv[1]).read();mo=16;mrl=(len(filef)/mo)+1;q=len(filef);cdot=lambda x:chr(x) if (x>33 and x<255) else ".";

for i in e(0,(16-(q%160))):filef+=chr(0x00)

for i in e(0,mrl):binout=' '.join([hex(ord(q)) for q in filef[i*mo:(i*mo)+mo]]);print "0x%08x: %s %s"%(i*mo,' '.join(["%02x"%eval(z) for z in binout.split()]),''.join([cdot(eval(z)) for z in binout.split()]))

I just realized that an old message board I made out of boredom was less than 8K total, not counting the README and database initialization script. here (Warning: the source doesn't look very good...)

I had one (1) message in Discord deleted and proceeded to make a huge, huge mess about how it was a violation of free speech and how moderators are supposed to be spam janitors and nobody should have the right to tell me not to talk about school shootings

Incomplete screenshot app: main.cpp, main.h for a total of 9,346 bytes. If you took out all the big comments and whitespace it'd probably fit in 8K.

If you want something that's already < 8K, I could post a simple crappy old experimental app that shows the system uptime, but meh.
