The Binary Golf Grand Prix is a yearly contest to create the smallest file that does a specific thing. Inspired by code golf and file format hacking, Binary Golf is the practice of creating tiny binary files, polyglots, or weird machines.
BGGP is a 100% volunteer-run community event that encourages people to play with files, seek new perspectives, and challenge their own ideas about what is possible. We do not have any sponsorships, partnerships, corporate backing, or government endorsement.
BGGP5 will run from June 21 2024 to September 6 2024.
A: Yes! If your program needs to use these, it will be mentioned in the repo.
A: Yes! As long as we are able to verify that it works.
A: If you can come up with an interesting small invocation that can fit in a script, or if this specific technique isn't widely documented, then go for it! It will be classified as a script, and not an independent entry for the program used (eg. smallest curl invocation).
A: Yes! Please only send one entry for each file type or polyglot file combination.
A: Yes, but we kindly ask you to only update your entry once during the competition. Each entry is verified before it is put into the repo, so we ask that you be respectful of the volunteer verifier team's time :))
You may find yourself with a lot of tweaks or alternate techniques for your entry. You should corral those ideas together and write something to share! Consider a blog, a conference talk, or submit a paper to a hacker zine.
A: You sure can! Feel free to use the hashtag #BGGP5 and tag @binarygolf on Twitter or Mastodon.
A: We have a Discord, come hang!
A: Why yes,
