on 02017-05-29The hugi-compo sizecoding competition was a series of #smallisbeautiful contests organized by the #demoscene diskmag Hugi, mostly 1998–2003. These compos had strict specs on what the (MS-DOS) program had to do (like ACM and many ICFP programming contests) but were scored strictly by program size. Problems included data compression, text sorting, video games (Pong, Snake (“Nibbles”), sokoban), virtual machine implementations, a sudoku solver, and a program to retrieve the device descriptor from an attached USB device. In more than half of the 29 compo rounds over the years, the winning program was under 150 bytes.
