Cool! I wonder how it can have only 64kb...

that videos ridiculous haha, where did you find that, and how is it such a small file? haha ima watch again a few times. theres crazy subliminal(SP?) messages in that. lol

To get a small file size, its probably made with the C programming language. It doesnt put the usual crap into the file. Impressive graphics for that small file, but I'm not impressed with the message. I completely ignore the visuals when thinking about the message because they are not logically related.

hey kerr, u said that it had lots of subliminal messages in it right? well what kind, and how do you know?

First, from the EXE: "This file is packed with the UPX executable packer". So, once unpacked, it takes a little more than 64k...
You can remove the text by checking the "No text" checkbox.
And a lot of it are maths + "small" textures tiled.
And Windows API helps reduce the size too.

And, for those who likes fractals, this program is nice (because quite fast): http://xaos.theory.org/
Be sure to set the 'iterations' to an higher number to get more "depth"...

What do you suppose the words mean at the end?

Arcane · April 20, 2004, 17:50:34

I guess the words at the end are the aliases that the programmers who wrote it use

hey ummmmmmm i checked that file with my norton antivirus, and it came up as a virus. so i deleted it immediatly

Nagual · April 21, 2004, 09:13:48

Interesting... Which file (heaven or xaos) and which virus?

kakkarot · April 21, 2004, 09:24:56

actually, the file would be able to be only 64kb likely because it calls to some place on the internet to download more information (or play a video). this might also be the reason why it is shown to be a virus, though it's still a good idea to not download it if your antivirus software calls it a virus.

that could be it kakkarot. and it was heaven that it said was the virus

Nagual · April 22, 2004, 02:41:08

At least on my computer, none of these programs seem to or can download more information; my firewall would poppup a dialog box asking me if I allow it or not to qccess the internet...

I am a 3rd Year Computer Science student and i have written a server-client 3D world application for my final year project. My client (which does the 3D graphics) is a very similar size to that program and it does more than just 3D graphics. (That demo is more impressive though).

I tried running the program with my network connection disabled, so it doesnt need to connect to the internet in order to run.

Not really astral related, but it's a nice little (64kb) demo for Windows... For those who don't know what is a demo; it is not a video; it's all created in realtime.

Feel free to scan it with your antivirus (mine did not find anything)...
