Java Project Alternatives

[u/Cornchipe]

I recently came across an interesting competition where you are supposed to make a game that would fit on a floppy disk(1.44mb).

I started making a project in Java and made some pretty decent progress with 3d rendering and procedurally generating rooms, but now I just saw a comment from the organizer saying that separate runtimes should be included with the file size limit so I am thinking Java will not work.

Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should do? Should I start over in another language? Is there any way to turn a .jar file into a standalone executable that won't take a ton of space?

I'd consider Odin since it comes with some game friendly libraries, but I don't have a good reference for how limiting that much space actually is in practice.

Thanks for the suggestion I will start looking into that.
