help packing sound in <4k

• 4klang

  Official 4klang repository

I had a deeper look at 4klang, it looks like it's not really taking care of sound output, it's "only" creating the sounds and filling a buffer (I might be wrong, that level of assembly is soooooo over my head. still damn interesting to read, tho)

  UPX - the Ultimate Packer for eXecutables

  

Then I compressed it with upx, cp small.exe smallUpx.exe && upx --brute smallUpx.exe, got a 10752 bytes executable, half the size, but still pretty large

  Crinkler is an executable file compressor (or rather, a compressing linker) for compressing small 32-bit Windows demoscene executables. As of 2020, it is the most widely used tool for compressing 1k/4k/8k intros.

I also tried crinkler, got it to link but the executable does apparently nothing.

Gopher also made 64klang, and in the examples here they're using mmsystem to push samples to the soundcard, so I'd be inclined to think that's a pretty good way to do it (if not the best way)
