The IE6 Demoscene

Name: Cudder !MhMRSATORI!fR8duoqGZdD/iE5 2013-06-07 8:38

There's an active community of people in the demoscene writing code for long-"obsolete" platforms like C64, Atari, NES, etc. These platforms are slow, quirky, and relatively limited, yet they can do all these amazing things with them.

Seeing all these HTML5 "new features" demos, the thought occurred to me: what can we do with a more limited browser? Not something really limited like Lynx, but something still considered obsolete yet maybe more powerful than most people would think. How about IE6? It has JavaScript so you can write programs in it, lots of undocumented/buggy behaviour, and relatively slow, so could be compared to a C64 in some ways. (Lynx would be like a 4004.) What sort of things can you do with it? Should there be a demoscene category "Platform: IE6"?

Discuss.

The issue with Cudder is that he only browses /prog/ and some text-only GNU pages. That's why any browser that can do slightly more than that is considered useless and cancerous.

That's not a solution. What I would expect is a proper, kawaii as fuck diff, with colors, little +/- thingies and all.

You really should stay in your Jewish ASM threads, Jewdder.
