Distributing Applications as Executable (*.exe) Files

This feature is required to

·        Get High performance (No compiling time)

·        Protect your source code

·        Distribute an easy to use software

Practical Steps:-

    Run the application (YourFileName.nova) to get a generated object file (YourFileName.nova.star)

    Create new folder (Myapp as example)

    Copy the generated object file YourFileName.nova.Star to this new folder (Myapp)

    Copy nova.exe to this new folder (Myapp)

    Rename YourFileName.nova.Star file to YourApplicationName.Star

    Rename nova.exe file to YourApplicationName.exe

    Distribute this new folder (Myapp) to your Customers/Friends

    What they need is to Run YourApplicationName.exe

    That is all, Have Fun!!

The idea is simple and clear, when you run Supernova Interpreter (nova.exe)

After renaming it to (YourApplicationName.exe) the interpreter will try to find a file

Carry the name YourApplicationName.star to load and execute.

Example:-

    Run Samples\DateAndTime\Flash.nova

    Create new folder then copy Flash.nova.star & Nova.exe to this folder

    Rename Flash.nova.star to Flash.star

    Rename NOVA.exe to Flash.exe

    Run Flash.exe (No Loading… Message appears, Have Fun!!)
