the error message you've got should be _after_ the program quits since it tries to close the window it opened and give all memory back. hmm...

minimum requirements should be an opengl-accelerated graphics card with - let's say 16mb and a 'not too old' cpu, maybe everything from pII upwards will do the trick - most of the work is done by the graphics-card anyway

tinman:
yes, there's supposed to be text in front of the tunnel.
i think you can't see this because voodoo cards only accept textures in a square size (ie 32^2, 64^2 etc.) but i used a 512x256 texture for the fontset.

mr. vain
regarding the size:
today i played around with it, wrote some code to generate a texture for the tunnel instead of loading it from a bmp and ended up with 16.928 bytes. is that small enough for you?

so what do you guys think of 'pb128k' ?
not interested? should give some good reputation on purebasic if there's the one or other cool entry.

regards,
traumatic

Hi traumatic
Yes, its really nice to see the same effect now in about 16k

Nice Work! Still looking forward for the source to learn a bit about the OGL stuff, hehe!

A small 128kb exe (packed) PB compo would be nice idea i think... At the moment i dont have the time to code something fot that compo but i am sure there a some guys around on this comunity with some interest!?

Keep on ya great work traumatic!

hi again,

if anyone's still interested, i uploaded a modified version at

http://files.connection-refused.org/pbtest2.zip

exe-filesize is 16.928 bytes, so the topic isn't correct anymore...

you can choose between three different textures by passing -2 or -3 to the app, e.g. "pbtest2.exe -2" (-1 is the same as no parameter passed).

the problems concerning screen-resolution-switching and 'background flickering through' should be gone now (?)

Branston: sorry, i really don't know what's going on there

This version works great! The background flickering is gone.
Cool Demo Traumatic!

Hi traumatic
Really nice to have three different textures (color-tables) optional!
Works fine here... Good job

OK, thanks. I didn't realise the V3 needed square textures (I also though they were limited to 256*256 max). Anyway, the OGL drivers are in a constant state of beta, since they are only updated by some dedicated people in their spare time.

so what do you guys think of 'pb128k' ?

I think it's a real nice idea, but I would not have the time or artistic talent to create something people would like to see. Fairly dull, get the job done correctly, applications is my forte (hey, I'm an engineer

who said applications in 128k aren't interesting?

thanks again! but it's your language that makes things like this possible. while i'm at it: it'd be 'even nicer' if i wouldn't have to convert every float value into doubles via makefloatdouble() and could use negative floats without initializing variables first
well, if makefloatdouble() would work inside procedures at least...

err... who burned my topic?

You haven't seen my applications

I've got 72kb of (compiled) code and it doesn't do anything yet
