    About a year or two ago, I wrote a simple program for windows that could read a text document full of assembly-like instructions, to display images, sorta like a primitive version of a flash player, I don't know, it was just a practice program I wrote to test my C knowledge.  It was originally a program for personal use, but, seeing as I don't actually "use" it, I thought I'd share it with you guys, maybe one of you might have a valid use for it, who knows.

    Download

    And here are a few example scripts:

    An animation test

    A screen resizing test

    A timer/clock example

    Simply open a "Script.txt" text document with the program, and then click "start" in the script menu to play the script.

    I don't expect any of you to comment, or to take any interest in this, like I said before, it's just a left over test program I was experimenting with which happens to be lying around on my HDD doing nothing. So for what it's worth, enjoy.

    "An animation test" link does not work.

    I'm a little late to this, but I think it's very cool!  Your script has an assembly look to it.  Just out of curiosity, did you write this for Windows using the Win32 API?

    Why yes, yes I did! Everything was built using mainly "stdio.h" and "windows.h" library header files.

    I wanted to look into other libraries that use the hardware more, because as it turns out, some functions in those header files above, Windows XP functions them quicker than Windows 7. What's more, Windows 7 functions quicker than Windows 8. So it seems the newer operating systems are relying more on the hardware these days.
