title: How do demomakers attain ultra small filesizes?
body: <p>When I watch demoscene videos on youtube the author's often boast of how their filesizes are 64kb or less, some as few as just 4kb. When I compile even a very basic program in C++ the executable is always at least 90kb or so. Are these demos written entirely in assembly? it was my understanding that demomakers used c/c++ as well. </p>
