small web-tro

[benny]

Hi.

There is a little web-tro (2844 bytes) for a nice demo coding community I coded.



Why I post this here ? If you are interested in demo coding you might wanna
give this community a visit. It features a purebasic board as well ...

You can d/l the web-tro here :

and visit the forum here :

haha, I love it! You can't imagine how many memories came back while watching it, thank you!

Nice demo.
I just registered

@traumatic:
Thanks. Originally I wanted as a little bbs-tro. The guys of you who know the
bbs scene might remember the little intros the sysop automatically packed
in the files that were uploaded to their bbs.
A lot of those bbs-tro has some text in it like

This file passed through the dungeon of cool bbs name...

But now it was used as a little advertisement intro for the new Request board
on the page.


@geo_trail:
Cool that you already joined. Hope you like it over there

BTW, did you code it in PureBasic?

What sound-/synthengine did you use?
(I know it's mentioned in the .nfo, but are there any more information?)

BTW, did you code it in PureBasic?

No. Guess I couldnt manage to make it that small with purebasic. I used
C/C++ to code it and Crinkler to make it that small ( Crinkler replaces
the linker ... nice tool, btw ).

What sound-/synthengine did you use?
(I know it's mentioned in the .nfo, but are there any more information?)

The sound are all coded soft synths.

Have a look here for general information:

You can some sources/variation in some 4kb releases available on :

I know but what engine did you use? Your own?

Thanks!

Tried it in my XP machine and I have to say that I am AMAZED !
Very cool music btw!

I tried to run it in Linux, but with no results:

1. Wine 0.9.31
Doesn't run and gives a page fault.

2. CrossOver Pro 6.0.1
Same like in Wine..

3. Cedega 6.0
Thinks that it is a virus?

Code: Select all

Amiga:~/Desktop/bnyad# cedega dbf-advertro.exe
VIRUS WARNING: PE module has an invalid entrypoint (0x00000002) outside all sections (possibly infected by Tchernobyl/SpaceFiller virus)!
wine: Unhandled exception, starting debugger...

Thx. Sorry to hear that it doesnt run on Linux. But considering the high
compression/linking algorithms (crinkler) it is not really a wonder. But
thanks for testing it anyway

Less than 3KB! It only can be done with Purebasic
Well done

I am sorry Psychophanta. Unfortunately, it wasnt done with purebasic. I did
it with C/C++ and some tiny ASM routines. The reason I post it here is
just to let you know about the purebasic area at the promoted forum !!!

That's why I post it in the Off Topic board and not in Announcements.

[Psychophanta]

Aha! I see. Then the size must be due to the ASM, or some fine tricks avoiding usual libs included in any C/C++ source.

NOTE: If you would done it with PB it would work faster in my SiS VGA (in this VGA it work damnly slow).
