The Weissman Challenge

This is my Ludum Dare 40 solo Compo entry done in 48 hours.

My take on the theme, “The more you have the worse it is.”, was on uncompressed data over the wire. The more you have of that the worse your transfer rate is going to be. So I made a typing game where you are a compression algorithm, and it is a homage to the HBO show Silicon Valley.

If you’ve watched the show you’ll get the references. If you haven’t watched the show, you should, it’s brilliant, but the game should be fun anyway.
