That’s irrelevant to the contest.

Sure, but important to put into perspective when you compare it to .kkrieger and other old school demos - the browser does a lot of heavy lifting here.

Having said that, this is a majorly impressive feat. I love it that this is still a thing.

One could argue the OS also does some heavy lifting.

in the case of kkreiger, absolutely... Uninstall the wrong font in windows and you actually break kkreiger. So it's not even fully self-contained and relies on static windows assets to function.

It also needs DirectX, which is another 70-100MB depending on the version.
