Check out the new free software and fun stuff released as part of our NANY (New Apps for the New Year) 2018 event on January 1, 2018: here.
Since 2007 we have held an annual event that we call NANY (New Apps for the New Year), where we ask the coders who hang out on DonationCoder to create some new piece of free software and share it with the world on January 1st of the new year. NANY is really the funnest thing we do on this site, and it's one of the few times we can all play together. There are no winners or losers, it's simply a celebration of programming and creating new software and sharing it with the world.
Dr.Windows is a harmless joke/prank/trick program that will periodically display funny joke error messages to unsuspecting users.
Use it to play jokes on your family members - just don't be too cruel, or they'll come blaming us when they figure it out.
Comes with over 50 fun dialogs, but the main fun is making your own!
By default when loaded, Dr.Windows appears to be a program that is protecting the computer against something (we have no idea what). The "Protection Enabled" checkbox doesn't actually do anything. As an effort to not be too evil, we do let victims exit the program from the tray if they are smart enough to realize that the cause the messages is the program.
Every once and a while the 'victim' will see a random fake error dialog (see screenshots).
Holding the CONTROL key down while right clicking on the system tray icon opens up the secret options.
