  1. I Think We Made a Friend

    I was looking around the vast internet looking for a new and exciting news piece to put up on the front page when I stumbled across this guy's blog. "Delphi Hater's Blog" Well wouldn't you know it, I just HAD to read it.

    It's just under a year old, but considering that he paints us in a bad light and we haven't really had much of a chance to tell our side of things, I think it's still only fair that we bring it up. Do keep in mind that this person is obviously very opinionated ...

  4. Project Prometheus Kicks off...

    As a few will know, I am starting a new set of units for better user friendliness, called the Prometheus Project (thanks for the great name WILL). Just thought, I' get some opinions on how easy you would say this looks to understand as a newbie. Code below of the first demo program of getting an image up on the screen with transparency enabled:

    Code:
    program PromVTest;
    
    uses
    	Prometheus_Vid,
    	sdl;
    
    var
    	Image: pSdl_Surface;
