They were all great but I voted for SnowBall by LeboStein, just ahead of Snowrun by buggymonkey. Benny's xmas tree wouldn't run here.

Well done to all the entrants and happy christmas to everyone! :D

btw: Bennys xmas tree is nice because its only 4 kb[packed].
I needed to Recompile it to have it run on my computer, but then it worked.

Hi,

traumatic just reported me a bug-info in my version (thx @traumatic). Hope
the problems on some machines are fixed now.
I recompiled the new version and now it is only 3.749 bytes (packed) big.

You can dl it here :

It still crashes on my machine as soon as the window has opened but i followed thefools advice and recompiled it and it worked great. Impressive for the size!

Hmm ...

maybe the packer causes the crashes ...

I used the fsg packer ( http://www.xtreeme.prv.pl/ ). No problems
here (WinXP). Anyway, thanx for reporting.

You're right Benny, its the packer causing problems. Recompiling it works fine, then running it through FSG causes it to crash. I'm also using Win XP so i don't know what the problem is but if anyone else has a problem just recompile it!

To get sure everyone can run the little effect wihtout recompiling I updated
the archiv with 3 versions. One is packed with UPX, one with FSG and finally
one is unpacked.

My 2 cents...

All demos/games are pretty cool :P

But..

All instructions are in German
Only Snowball has a readme where the game keys are identifiable.
SnowBall does not have source code... :(

Never the less good show every one!!!

Hmm ... good point, Num3.

But this brings me to another question ... why are there any submissions of
non-german purebasic users :?:

Hmmm.... :roll:
