View Full Version : IOI
Someone at the CodeGear forums told me about this site, which is really great! I didn't know there were so many game developers using Pascal / Delphi. So I decided to join this community and of course tell you about my little Direct3D pong-like game called IOI written in Delphi 5, released at Breakpoint 2009, using 48K. You can download the executable from http://nala.gruschel.com/projects.html (I won't release the source code, but maybe parts of it if you are interested in certain things). The sound is a bit annoying, anyway have fun!

Let me (hopefully) be the first to welcome you to PGD... just in time for this years competition which should be kicking off at the end of the month :)

Welcome to PGD. Hope you enjoy it here... ;) I still have to check your game out, but I'll get around to it soon. :)

the game looks very good,
talking about exe shrink now, why don't use upx3 with --lzma instead? It gives good compression and no problems with anti-viruses
upx.exe "game.exe" --lzma
Thanks to all of you for your comments!
I just tried upx3 with --lzma and it was resulting in 50K. UPack gives me 47K. Not much of a difference, but 48K is such a nice limit :-) For the next project upx of course is an option, it's the exe packer I'm using normally, and I like it very much.
This leads me to another question: has anyone here tested what Delphi version is best for small executables? What about FreePascal?
