A recreation of the albanian virus meme
This version:
-
is written in C (which means you can compile it to an exe, and send it to your friends to prank them)
-
is very simple (it's just 11 lines of code with no dependencies)
-
runs natively only on Windows (because it uses the win32 API to create the pop-up), but you can use Wine to run it on Linux/macOS/whatever
If you have Zig installed, you can just run this:
zig cc albanian-virus.c -target x86_64-windows-gnu -o virus.exe
Other C compilers should also work, but I didn't bother testing them since zig cc
is the only one that can easily cross-compile (I don't use Windows)
