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; ...
program PromVTest; uses Prometheus_Vid, sdl; var Image: pSdl_Surface;
Besides a homage to Rocky & Bullwinkle, I just wanted to give everyone an update on a few things that have been going on in the background since we kicked-off the new site.

So lets discuss them in a bit of detail so everyone knows whats going on. NOTE: Should you find ANY issues, tweaks or errors, please don't hesitate to contact us or post about ...
