i hate you!
No, the fact is that this is pointless.
blablabla my a$$..!
really.
you also post pointless things! Wich is far more pointless than this!

But you're starting to forget the codes.. You shouldnt take it seriously.
No I didnt said the thread was pointless because I cant say it I've posted worst things so I'd be a hipocrit maggot, however what I said - if you read carefully - is that this kind of exe wouldnt be any usefull. The idea of a challenge would more likely to be that you'll have to develop a software with some set rules and the smallest exe wins. (smallest uncompressed and compressed, compression allowed= UPX).
That was all I said.

yes. come with smaller exe's to me! UPX is allowed. ONLY upx. And it HAS to have a window, and be programmed in purebasic.

Beat you! Here is a program with the same functionality as yours, but it's one kilobyte smaller. It's so small that UPX can't compress it!

And you programmed that in 100% purebasic with a little api?
besides: my button is prettier

No, 100% assembly.
I can make pretty buttons too!
six different buttons, and still only 2 kb
Edit: if it doens't work, here's another host:

uhmm the great thing about my exe was that it was written in purebasic without inline assembly!

if i wanted to write the smallest possible exe i would do it in assembler. Come with one that is smaller wich is written in purebasic! of course its possible i only used the little winapi as possible

Hmm, I don't remember you said anything about that. What do you meant by "as little api as possible?".

[quote=thefool]It is programmed in purebasic! and uses a resource file as dialog. Event handling is done in purebasic of course [/quote]
however i meant that i used just the needed api code. Things like the loop and so on could also have been programmed in assembler
