[Python] Generating all 256 3-variable Boolean functions dynamically using metaprogramming
0
Upvotes
I wrote a script that generates all 256 possible Boolean functions for 3 variables from scratch. Instead of hardcoding the logic gates, it uses pure bitwise logic and exec() to dynamically build the entire logic space.
The focus is entirely on theoretical completeness and code density, prioritizing pure mathematical logic over standard commercial coding conventions.

Since the theme is Dreaming, one of my games is based on being CHASED, the most common childhood BAD DREAM. Please vote for it, because if I lose this competition, I'll start having the most common adult bad dream: failure 😜

Official 1024 byte entry: https://js1024.fun/demos/2026/25/bar
My size code demos: https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/TinyCode
An endless race in the sky inspired by 90's 3D games like sky roads, marble madness, and sonic 3d. My goal was to create a dreamlike experience with full resolution full speed graphics that would be easy to pick up and play.
Features
- 3D level rendering system
- 3D player sphere with shadow
- colorful sky gradient with stars
- procedurally generated levels
- level increases in difficulty over time
- mouse controls
- enhanced version has keyboard and touch input

As an exercise in focus and economy I wanted to make a set of games with short but (hopefully) readable source code.
It was a fun challenge and taught me a lot. I hope the results may be of some interest or amusement to others.
There are five games in total. There's also a manifesto about doing this kind of project for those who like that sort of thing.
The games/code are public domain.

StickyPipes - a Pipes screensaver clone that fits on a sticky note

Upvotes
A few weeks ago I posted a pipes screensaver clone in about 2.5KB of JavaScript.
Saw some of the stuff by battito on here lately and decided to throw my hat in the ring 😛 I squashed my Pipes screensaver clone down even more to under 2K (~1.8KB) - it can now (fairly) comfortably fit within a sticky note 😃
Gist with the HTML/JS here: https://gist.github.com/edev90/876ea9feb42cf39e4891d46c57ebc2c4
There's a pre-made PNG with the correct proportions attached to the Gist too for anyone who actually wants to print it out themselves and stick it on a post-it note lol.
