Un-freaking-believable!!

But, what was with the loading screen at the beginning? Was that an additional download??

Nevertheless, amazing considering the length and detail of the project, fitting into such a small amount of space. I am sufficiently impressed.

The loading screen is basically as the whole thing is unpacking, and generating texture data etc. It's a lot smaller to just generate the resources algorithmically rather than supply pre-cooked texture bitmaps.

Very cool though, reminds me of the old demo-coding days of yesteryear *sniff*

In fairness though, I've written a fairly capable 3D engine for mobile phones that fits into around 25K. Obviously that is before you add any models or audio, and there's no texturing (J2ME doesn't support it, nor does Nokia UI).

If you're runnning Windows, and have at least DirectX 8.0 installed, just download the file and double click it, and it will launch on its own.
