I hear people talk of a standalone MAX patches all the time, but am I right in thinking that this is not standalone(in the true sense of the word) but merely a patch that's bundled together with a player?
Actually, all patches and used externs are bundled into the executable application. So, if your patch does not require any external graphics or sound files, you'd be able to distribute one executable 'player' that does not require a user to install anything else Max related.
It acts as a stand-alone Mac application.
Also, such app would run more efficiently than the same patch within the Max environment.
N.B. This was definitely true for pre-MacOSX, I assume it has not changed considerably.
It would be quite easy to make a standalone app using the Mac OS X
Pd.app. Just edit it to automatically start up the Pd patch in
question, and include the Pd patch in the path, say doc/5.reference,
for example. You could rename the Pd.app as well, IIRC.
