Custom virtual machine for 4K intros
2007-10-09 :: tonic
XMunkki released the source of IL4 Lisp-ahtava along with source of Rose Shank, a 4 KB intro which contributed in Assembly'07 4k competition. What's special about it is the fact that it uses a custom language with lisp-like syntax and a compiler written in OCaml which generates a custom virtual machine and bytecode for it from the source code. Check out more from the IL4 Lisp-ahtava page.

We have revised the copyright notice on the disclaimer page inline with our objectives to provide free and useful 4kb creation content to all. Please review IN4K:General_disclaimer to ensure you have no conflicts. Auld - welcome back!
Just an Update
2006-02-28 :: tonic
We have unfortunately been busy with other things, so we haven't been able to keep adding features to IN4K site with number one priority. We still hope you will keep contributing to the site! Just make an account and dive in making a new page. Note that some of the pages are locked from editing in the site structure, to fight against spam content (it has already happened a few times in IN4K as well). We'll try to keep an eye for new stuff and link them in the site structure. And do not hesitate to contact us if you have anything to say.
If you happen to know PHP & MySQL (and maybe even know stuff about MediaWiki customization), and on top of that have some extra time, please consider helping us out. You can also send private messages to tonic in IRCnet if you prefer that way.
And some actual news: Flash 4K Challenge results are out there. Additionally, if 4 KB intros aren't challenging enough for you, try out making 1 KB intros!

The Flash 4K Challenge is over and its voting system is now open. Go check the entries and vote!

2005-11-09 :: tonic
Welcome to IN4K! This is the first ever web portal dedicated to 4KB intro development. Please surf our pages, create accounts, and use our discussion tabs. There is a lot more to do, including addition of existing information from the past. We've barely scratched the surface so far. We hope this will become an interactive resource - where we can benefit and learn from each other.
Questions? Concerns or Suggestions - Please use the site or email us! Your feedback is valuable and welcome!
