Thumbpinski - Purple Sierpinski 128-byte Intro for Raspberry Pi/Linux by Deater / dSr The ELF header on ARM Linux is 84 bytes which makes tiny intros difficult. Here we use some tricks to make things smaller, including moving code into some quasi-unused parts of the header itself. This still runs fine, but readelf complains and gdb won't touch the file. The techniques used are based on those found here: https://nathanotterness.com/2021/10/tiny_elf_modernized.html Runs on a Thumb2 capable Raspberry Pi (Pi2 or newer). The video was recorded on a Pi4. Generates console ANSI sequences to generate the graphics. Works best if terminal is at least 128 characters wide.
