32-bit elf using SDL (for audio, keyboard/mouse and window creation) and OpenGL Since it’s not tried and tested much, any feedback is much welcome. I really want to get our 64k releases to be on pair with the windows versions if possible so I welcome any tips, tricks or discussions on the subject. Due to not having the wonderful tool called kkrunchy available on the Linux platform the executable is packed with upx to about 76.5kb (windows version with upx is about 74.4 kb). My hope is that releasing more quality content on the Linux platform might spark some progress of Linux packers and 64k development. Maybe next time we will try to create a OSX binary as well.

For those interested the following tools where used: g++ strip sstrip from ELFkickers upx

Anyone wanting to chat about 64k intro/packer development/improvement on Linux, feel free to contact me at my gmail address: cryptic.aprx
