  1. Apus Game Engine supports Linux

    Just ported my card game Astral Towers for Linux. It's a card game made with my open source pascal engine, which is available at Github (https://github.com/Cooler2/ApusGameEngine).

    Now there are 2 game versions, both built from the same source code:

    • Windows - 32-bit, built with Delphi Community Edition.
    • Linux (64-bit, built with Lazarus 2.11 / FPC 3.3).


    The game project's source code is available for all my patrons at Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/ApusGameEngine) ...

I've also been relaxing and playing some cool new games for my iPad which I'll list for you below, because I enjoyed doing that last time.

ID:	296 Well I've been doing a bit of traveling lately and it's actually given me some time to crack open a few of my old projects again. Subject 33 was one of those projects that I got really attached to and wished that I had actually finished in some form. I started writing it back when I was just learning to use DelphiX back in 2001.

ID:	185Well I finally got one and I love it. When I was younger, I used to dream about such devices after watching several episodes of Star Trek and seeing how great such an idea was to have a tablet sized computer that you can take with you and set it down ready to use almost everywhere. Well now I've got one and it's awesome.

    One of the most exciting things about having this new device, other than all the cool apps that you can get, is the fact that I can also ...
