## Kudos:

m/Bits'n'Bites, who wrote Soundbox (https://github.com/mbitsnbites/soundbox), the tracker used for the music

p01, whose write-ups(http://www.p01.org/) about 4k development in javascript also helped and inspired methods how to write shorter code in MATLAB

all the authors of various javascript crunchers, whose ideas on polyglot png/html/javascript files inspired making the self-extracting pcode/.zip files

zopfli team at Google, whose tool was used to optimize the deflate streams in the zip
