Joke maker

Joke maker is a lightweight and portable piece of kit that you can use to create simple jokes to share with friends and family, and turn them into executable files. Its features can be seamlessly figured out, even by first-time users.

Since Joke maker does not come with an installation pack, you can simply extract the archive contents to any location on the hard drive, in order to directly run the executable file.

Alternatively, you can store Joke maker on a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, and run it on any computer. What's more important is that the Windows Registry is not updated with new entries, and no files are left behind on the hard drive after program removal. Plus, you can keep Joke maker in your pocket whenever you're on the go.

The interface of the application is based on a common window and standard features. You can create as many input and message boxes as you want, enter their titles and write down comments, as well as allow users to enter text. You can enable a beeping sound to be set off at the executable's deployment and select one of the three available beep types.

Once all the necessary modifications have been made, you can create the executable file with the click of a button. Unfortunately, you cannot specify the output directory or filename for this item; it is automatically created in the same directory as the root files. Also, if you want to create a new joke after already building an executable file, the new boxes shall be built into the first joke (unless you change the file's location).

The straightforward software tool clearly needs a makeover when it comes to the visual aspect of the interface, together with the integration of additional features (e.g. preview results, specify the output directory and filename). On top of that, no recent updates have been made. Nonetheless, Joke maker needs a very low amount of CPU and system memory, and can be handled even by beginners.
