How might we best incorporate the use of Pack200 and LZMA into the rules?
Cas 
I see you’ve already made a decision. For anyone interested, here’s an exhaustive description of Pack200 if (like me) you were unfamiliar with it.
Thanks for the link
Pack200 is quite remarkable. It seems to crush things down to a tenth of their original size.

How do I pack200 my jar, and after that how can I run it with the command line for the contest ?
java -Djava.library.path=. -Xincgc -cp lwjgl.jar;lwjgl_util.jar;jinput.jar;<your game jars> <main-class> <args>
(I know this is a noob question, but I’m doing it just to help others or something like that)
It’ll need unpacking first before anyone can see it using the JDK tool. This will all be automated when it’s in applet format of course.
I’ve been using Ant to pack things - here’s my Ant build:
<project name="LWJGL16k" default="default">
<description>
Builds the LWJGK16k entry
</description>
<taskdef name="pack200" classname="com.sun.tools.apache.ant.pack200.Pack200Task" classpath="Pack200Task.jar"/>
<taskdef resource="proguard/ant/task.properties" classpath="proguard.jar" />
<taskdef name="data" classname="Packer" classpath="bin-tools;bin"/>
<target name="-clean">
<delete>
<fileset dir="res">

</fileset>
</delete>
<delete file="LWJGK16k.jar" />
</target>
<target name="resources" depends="-clean">
<data src="resources/resources.xml" dest="res/r.dat"/>
</target>
<target name="default" depends="resources">
<jar destfile="LWJGK16k.jar" compress="false">
<fileset dir="bin">
<include name="**.*"/>
</fileset>
<fileset dir="res">
<include name="**.*"/>
</fileset>
</jar>
<!-- The proguard step creates LWJGK16k-proguard.jar -->
<proguard configuration="proguard.cfg" />
<pack200 src="LWJGK16k-proguard.jar" destfile="LWJGK16k-proguard.jar.pack.gz" effort="9" stripdebug="true" gzipoutput="true"/>
</target>
</project>
and my Proguard configuration looks like this:

which is slightly longwinded and currently treats the code as a “library” so I can more accurately measure the cost of certain bits whilst I develop my tiny 16k framework.
