### Basic Sierpinski harmony bytebeat t & t >> 8 in as few bytes as possible: .globl _start _start: inc %ebx # output fd 1 in %ebx for write() inc %edx # byte count of 1 in %edx for write() loop: inc %eax # increment t each time through the loop push %eax # save it on the stack and %ah, %al # compute t & t >> 8, our output sample push %eax # store it on the stack for write() lea 3(%ebx), %eax # a three-byte way to set %eax to 4 (__NR_write) mov %esp, %ecx # pass sample pointer to write() (little-endian!) int $0x80 # invoke system call pop %eax # discard sample pop %eax # restore t into %eax jmp loop # and repeat ### Kragen Javier Sitaker ### 2012-01-10

Compile with gcc -nostdlib and pipe the output to aplay. After stripping, the ELF is 240 bytes; size(1) says it has 18 bytes of code.
