Is this a virus? It's been a long time since someone provided a setup.exe randomly on the internet. Today, everyone makes web apps.
there's a chance for me to make a funny here but I don't want to be banned from my instance because of a misunderstanding
My software is no virus, it doesn't even make any communication with the internet. It was a work of experimental passion of color processing.
I've never been interested in web apps, I'm a firm believer that software shouldn't be tied to the internet unless absolutely necessary.
It's basically an innovative way of processing bitmaps and photo-accurate color gradients. Try it out if you want, or not, that's up to you. But I guarantee you it's no virus.
There's a reason we don't share, download and open random .exe files. On first glance, there's no way to know what's contained. Web apps, on the other hand, don't run on your hardware so you don't have to trust the developer.
If it worries you, then run it in a virtual machine, or just don't bother with it, that's up to you. It was developed in and runs best on Windows XP.
I wouldn't literally sign my name to a project that would cause any mischief or tarnish my reputation of being a generally decent person. It's harmless, I guarantee it. Maybe a little buggy here and there, it is a prototype after all, but it's harmless.
That's the thing: your claim of a reputation means nothing to me. I don't know you. Trust is earned, not freely given.
That's completely understandable, and I don't blame you a bit. Hope you have a good day.
Probably better to link the source code then. Or some public repo on GitHub or so.
I'm not about to share the source code.
The front end GUI code was written in RapidQ, which itself was an incomplete prototype programming language by William Yu, released unfinished and buggy in August 2000.
It only had a relatively small following under Yahoo Groups before that got shut down, where some really talented hackers managed to patch the language to fix memory leaks and find workarounds to practically all the bugs.
And that, my fellow Lemming, is the main reason I won't be sharing the source code. You'd look at some areas of the code and wonder what the fuck, unless you were very familiar with RapidQ and it's quirks.
Why did I pick RapidQ? Because it was free, and the project has its earliest roots in QuickBasic from back in 2009, so it was easier for me to migrate to RapidQ when I got ready to delve into Windows programming.
The backend code is written in FreeBasic, which actually is portable between Windows and Linux, but the code looks like QuickBasic and C made love and had a baby.
To my knowledge, there's only about a dozen people that even half understand how the program works, as it's rather abstract compared to other graphics software.
