Written (both in music and in code) by DJ_Level_3, and entered at Demosplash 2025!

This isn't my first foray into making executable oscilloscope art, but it's the first time I've tried making oscilloscope music in an executable format! I think it came out very well for only being 3723 bytes, as when it runs it produces a .wav file in memory that's almost 6600 times the size of the .exe file! It's 64 seconds long at 96kHz sample rate and 16 bits per sample, although I suspect that the Windows sndPlaySound function only actually plays it at 48kHz or possibly even 44.1kHz.

This .zip file contains both the 3723-byte executable and a .wav file, which is a dump of the audio that it generates in memory. The 3723 byte version included here does not output this audio file to disk (for the sake of making the binary even smaller), but the .wav is what is created in memory and played through the Windows libraries.

Thanks for checking out my neat little demo, and I hope you enjoy!
