Brings back memories of the little "ten liner" games and other toys in Electron User magazines and similar.

Sometimes one-liner examples (it was surprising how much you could squeeze out of 253 bytes of BBC Basic).

Anyone with back-issues of that bread of magazine from back then has a little trove of inspiration for this sort of thing.

You can do a lot with small amounts of code, especially if you allow the use of complex libraries and only count the include() & calls in the byte-/character-count rather than including the whole size of the library.
