kkreiger is more impressive to me, because it creates itself on execution time. While this 13kB game is willfully ignoring the fact that the average web browser today is already a 2GB behemoth. While kkeiger is pure C++ and it does the whole thing, including the game engine and sound processor and everything else.

Is definitely not pure c++. It's making use of direct x and even fonts available in Windows to create textures.

Without DirectX or OpenGL you'd have to create a GPU driver or do CPU rendering...
