bwaaaaaahhhh

My published exe is already 201 kb ^^ (And I am not halfly done...)

Let it write and execute LUA Scripts at runtime to keep the footprint low

that would have to mean you need lua libraries as plugins
it may end up being about same size.

Write a compiler which compiles LUA at runtime so that you can write and execute LUA scripts at runtime to keep the footprint low

@3fogman
how did you get the game under 70kb?
with only the executable and the acknex, compat, litec, etc... headers I already hit 112 kb when unpacked!

are you using a6?

Here´s my include list, I´m using A8.10:

/////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
/////////////////////////////
#include "defines.c"
#include "windows.h"
#include "d3d9.h"
#include "meshes.c"
#include "sounds.c"
#include "effects.c"
#include "buildings.c"
#include "menu.c"
#include "bmaps.c"
#include "enemies.c"


default.c will be excluded on release.
windows.h is stripped down to 30 lines.
The biggest library is d3d9 atm.
Atm I´m at 198 kb code, compiled it´s 246 kb.
I´ve room left, because I´ve some repetiton in my code.

@fogman
thanks, so it is possible....
I am still amazed by the fact that your project was first only 63kb,
while my executable only is already 60kb.
must be in the scripts somewhere....

thanks

Im comeing !

May be I missed, but what audio formats are allowed? Can I use .ogg and .mp3??

... maybe the ones that are compatible with the engine...?
