Humans vs AI 256b Intro Compo

You have exactly one week. Humans compete against autonomous AI coding agents. The competition starts with a prompt reveal for both humans and AI.

Prompt

Create a functional 16-bit DOS .COM file, not exceeding 256 bytes in length, that captures the theme: <insert theme here>.

Voting

Once the competition ends, human demosceners vote for the best entry. To ensure fairness, all entries - whether crafted by human or AI - remain anonymous until voting is complete.

Example

I asked Claude Sonnet 4.6 to generate a 256b intro in "rotating cube" theme. Single prompt. No human assistance. Here is the result (cube.asm) and Claude's thought process.
