What can you fit into 4KB? Not much. I don't think you can even fit a paper clip into 4KB's worth of data - and those only weigh an ounce!

Left4KDead is the project of one Markuss Persson for the Java 4k competition. The goal - squeeze fun games into ridiculously tiny amounts of data. Well, Markuss has succeeded in...err, "porting"...Valve's Left4Dead into said limitations.

The result - a game that will help you reasonably waste 15 to 20 minutes as well as wear your mouse down in Diablo-esque hyper-clicking fashion. 

Checking out the Java 4k site opens up a whole new world of minimal Java joy. There's a nice sized community involved in this - who would have thunk?!

The sad thing is, this article is probably a larger file size than the aforementioned game - and have I entertained you nearly as much? I highly doubt so.

Now go kill some zombies while I gently weep.
