Check this out for a massively bloated exe:

http://www.codingarea.co.uk/Tech__Demos/PlayIntro.exe

This is a 'Tech Demo' showcasing DarkBasicPro. (36Mb 8O ) If you can be bothered to download it you will be dissapointedly shocked how bloaty it is.

Thank God for Fred and PureBasic!!!

i asked several times fred to implement a new Bloat command to write such fat demos.

BLOAT 35.5M

plz, vote for this handy,needed command in the next version !

[Berikco]

yes, this would be very handy.
Bloat(5m)
compiler inserts garbage to make big exe
better for the $$$

for the first time you can write:

Code: Select all

mmmmm, this gives file not found when i compile
Must be another BIG BUG in compiler i'm sure :roll:
Fred, STOP putting all those bugs in the compiler

I always bloat my software to a nice round hundred megs. Look more "official" that way..

BAM.

Has anyone downloaded it yet to see this guru programming wizardry? Ok i'll tell you what its like: Its a space scene that has the Earth and another planet move about in 3D and when the sun comes into view you get a little lens flare then the words 'www.codingarea.net' comes into view and thats it! It all lasts for about 10-15seconds, all for 36Mb 8O You have to see it to believe it. I think they used a Bloat() command and added about 35Mb of zeros to their code

Yup,

I downloaded it - I thought it was an error, that it quits after 10 seconds
Unbelievable poor tech-demo. Really not the best promotion for a product.

A better use for bloater a file is to include a lot of graphics and icons for embellish our forms and dialogs with them. Something like the clasics forms in the installers programs with the left side dedicated to a graphic or photo.
Another good use must be include a high resolution photo (1600 x 1400 pixels) of our house, our pet, or an advertising for the product (eggs).

Come on, guys. The 36MB is going to be *data*, not a result of bloated executables. The same data would be the same size regardless of the language!

(That said, DB sux!)

Have you seen the demo? Theres not that much data in there

[Hi-Toro]

No way -- thankfully you guys tested it out first...

[TronDoc]

I think their server is froze from everyone trying to d/l the demo! --jb

[Dreglor]

my god thats huge!
is i think it being so big is beacuase all of the resources are internal so that would make it alot bigger that it relly would be if everythting was external
