Beating the notepad Round 1

You need to talk to mudlord. He'd have this down to 10KB... you know... after he converts it to pure x86 assembly.

the problem isn´t the way the code is written(C#) but the files i use to create that GUI and coverflow..

-background
-buttons
-iphone skin
-8 3D albums items with cover
-10 3D audio covers with custom cover almost on every single one
-custom fader control at the top and bottom(use a image as base)
-custom slider control that uses a background and a thumb image
-overlay
-covers buffer
-some other images hidden by now

this can´t get lower actually but i think i can beat the 1,3mb mark.

Impressive job man, a lot more optimized than it was when I first visited your forum. Course its really not the same program now either with you changing the guts so much.

thank you :thumb:

@ruantec:

You should use a constant scene with @ES, or else it doesn't tell us how much memory consumption was reduced.

You can for example load a folder with 15 files, and one with 2 files, and the later option might consume less memory w/o actually altering the @es's code.

Well on those pics I have about 10 albums and I show the files there too with covers... Due some nasty optimizations I can load even 100+ covers and still have a low memory usage but as a coder yourself you know that it won't be good at the long run as more memory is needed to perform better and also to cache some stuff specially when the app is as fancy as @es.

Obvously the results I've got so far are great but that doesn't mean the app is faster... Quite opposite as I've to load some key stuff everytime... The test here show that optimization can be done and that is needed at a certain level... Eventho a balance is needed because there isn't much room when you try to keep the memory usage under the <2mb mark.. Anyways I think what I've showed here is a proof that a nice optimization can be done without problems in .net.

In conclution I think the best amount of memory usage for an like @es should be between 20 - 60mb as is a rasonable level. anyways I had fun trying to beat a very simple app like editor with one of the most fancy app ever created here at ngemu... After all we do all for fun and not for compete

Beat system idle process xD

Click to expand...

i admit that i can´t beat that.... but i can beat the System idle in features and CPU usage
for example i got tired of camtasia as it didn´t work as i expected.. hypercam worked fine but none of the recording apps i´ve tried so far records movements, effects or audio correctly and all of them records the audio from the mic which is a crap... fraps do a great job but it only records games at fullscreen and is useless to record the desktop so i took some time this weekend and wrote my own code for @ES to record my videos at a accurate speed using some hardware acceleration which beats the System idle and also added some more features to @ES to complete the combo lol

it may use more memory but check this out(the original video quality is very sharp and almost as if you were watching a real time app on your desktop.. sadly i had to compress the video to reduce size):
