And can you do to make sure the file size is kept down? .

I'd say about 3-7 MB's would be a good target for today's modems. Just don't put any videos or high quality music and you'll be fine. Disclaimer: Any sarcasm in my posts will not be mentioned as that would ruin the purpose. It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.

Tim I'm on here way too much Registered 25/08/2006 Points 132	13th September, 2007 at 18:16:39 - There's your answer then You probably can make one under 100k, just keep everything minimal - colours, graphics, events, and probably no sounds... http://www.SilverNova.co.uk
Phredreeke Don't listen to this idiot Registered 03/08/2002 Points 4504	13th September, 2007 at 18:52:59 - http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=6084 <- 170 kilobytes lol I propose a contest. Make the best click game below a certain size, for example 700 kilobytes. - Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen - Make some more box arts damnit! http://create-games.com/forum_post.asp?id=285363

Because no game will run if you do (either a memory error, or "can't compress" error during compression). Edited by the Author. Old member (~2004-2007).
