I've always thought that what Max considers standalones is kind of shady. They're just the patch and Max Runtime bundled together. The only difference is that the patch(es) used are put together in a single file (which Max calls a collective, but anyone with Max can open on their own and edit) and that the Runtime automatically loads the patch. It more just gives the "impression" of a standalone executable. I mean, it's nice because it makes the patches easier to distribute to people who don't own Max, but it's really not much different than just running the patch normally.

Hi,

Is there anyone out there who could teach me how to make good looking stand alone pd apps, I mean pd patches with a nice looking GUI on top that would play on any computer even without pd installed. I saw this guy the other day with his max based lighting board stand alone app. and I thought it was pretty cool... Thanks!
