Blitz / Re: Best ways to reduce BlitzMax EXE sizes

« on: June 20, 2015 »

You could always just use a 3rd party app such as UPX compressor which will make your exe much smaller with little to no overhead when loading.

Hi ikari glad you could join us here 

Have you got any examples of your work to show us mate??

My experience is very limited i`ve only worked with examples from others and changed various things but to create something by myself from scratch i can`t say i`ve actually done yet apart from a sine scroller and some simple windows thats say hello world lol. So although i know my way around code i would have trouble creating something from scratch as my learning has been on/off over last year or so.

Hi all, i started off with an acorn electron when i was 4 (1982 approx) and then on to the commodore 64 a few years later and then got an amiga and joined the piracy scene as a modem trader for Dual Crew  - Shining (DCS) and traded on many top USA bbs sites such as Pirates Haven, The Ghetto, USS Enterprise , Edge of the World, Fast Trax , Danse Macabre to name a few. After 1993 i quit the scene for several years and eventually purchased a PC
and have been in numerous groups such as Hoodlum & Deviance and eventually quit the trading scene to concentrate on programming. Over the last few months i have been concentrating on C++ DirectX but have some experience with Visual Basic .NET C# and a little Delphi but right now am involved in increasing my C++ skills. Am using Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and compiling many examples from others and learning from there source code.
*EDIT* Forgot to mention i`m from the UK!

Cheers, ikari.
