Whats you biggest AppGameKit program that you have ever written?
What about with ANY programming language?
What about one that you have worked on (but not done it all, like helping with an open source project)

For me, my biggest program is 4500 lines, and I have been working on it for the past 2.5 weeks, it is almost done. It is also the largset program I have ever written.
I haven't helped program anything else (all my programs are completly by me)
My second program was also with AppGameKit, but I got bored after 1000 lines.

I understood that!

Actually, I hate the program, now. It's over 12 years since the project started. It's grown like topsy, new versions of Windows cause huge problems, video codecs are a total rats' nest of partial functionality, users do things no sane person could imagine, and so on. Scream!

I would cry, but an order today for £15,000's worth does keep the motivation going!

With regards to your 480,000 lines program, did you do that all by yourself? Because if you did, that's amazing, a big program like The GIMP has just over 1,000,000 lines of code, and they have Lots of developers.

I didn't do it all - but I've had to modify several components.

Look at http://www.melissi.co.uk and you'll see that it's a big system, with networking, audio, video, Unicode text, forums, and a lot more. And it has to work on big campus systems, where the security lock-downs can be extreme.

Remember, it's 12 years' worth of code. Most of it works!

The key to big programs is modularisation. Perhaps any program. This is not one great splurge of source - it's lots of modules with specific jobs. In fact, some functions are now spawned out to sub-modules. All networked speech (VoIP) is handed to a separate executable called MIPS (Melissi network speech) which can handle up to seven real-time audio streams and, at the end of a session, mix them down to one WAV or MP3 file for review. We talk to that over a localhost network connection and send a simple command set.

Going to bed now with my Kindle Paperwhite. Best bit of book-reading kit ever!

AGK ~ 10,000 lines
DBP ~20,000 lines
Systems I work with ~ 5,000,000 lines, could even be double this

I don't know how many lines were in the last software I worked on (before TGC) but I must have written over 100,000 lines while I was there and that was less than 1% of one minor component.

I just checked and Squashies World was just under 11,000 lines including empty lines (IE.between functions etc). I would guess about 75->80% of that is actual code so about 8,000 in AGK.

Our main commercial app is well over 3,000,000 lines of code (last time I looked)
There are also 12000+ in-database SQL functions.
Of course, commercial n-tier systems like this have a fair amount of code-gen which makes up at least half of the 3m lines of code. Still, when we do a full suite compile it takes all day

For personal stuff, my mechatron game (in object pascal and ASM) is about 50,000 lines of code. However, a lot of the "body" of software development could be script, metadata etc. which takes just as long to develop as "code" sometimes.
