New Get Lazarus Initiative

[sysrpl]

@SilverWarrior: Actually those changes aren't bad. I'll show you why and where, the exact location where the changes occur. I'm actually relived you did this because it means everything is normal, so thank you for your research.

Line 59 of the Inno installer setup https://github.com/sysrpl/Codebot.Se...dows/setup.iss

Filename: "http://www.getlazarus.org/installed/?platform=windows"; Flags: shellexec runasoriginaluser

This line causes the default browser, in your case Internet Explorer, to open this page when install is complete http://www.getlazarus.org/installed/?platform=windows

The WindowPlacement key is written by Internet Explorer itself to record its last position on the screen.

The MigrateProxy key is set when you create a new account, or in your case open Internet Explorer for the first time:

@Carver413: My next project is a new versions of Bare Game. This new version has tons of new functionality including:

everything visual is based on shaders now
custom vertex types and vertex buffers
easy to use render to texture commands
animation storyboards
animation tracking support added to many properties such as
- camera position, heading, and field of view
- sprite position, origin, color, scale, rotation
- font writer insert positions, text angle, character angle, kerning, fore color,shadow color
- 2D brush color
- 2D pen color, and width
- sound channel pan, volumes, and position
much improved sound mixing timing
- user programmable sound samples
- programmable musical note generation examples functions
- easy to use 3D positional sound
new resource manager with built in compression and packing
- you simply put images, sounds, anything else into project/resources, and they get compressed into your exe/program as resources when you build
prebuild skybox class

I'm sure there is a bunch more. If anyone here wants to help me in this project, maybe with testing, or actual coding, let me know.

Edit: I've added the above to http://www.getlazarus.org/forums/vie....php?f=17&t=13

And finally with regards to Bare Game, the previous version, much like getlazarus.org downloads, shipped the compiler and IDE. This is going to change in the next version of Bare Game. It will simply be a package you install. The package will still include the same extensions from the original Bare Game, which were new "Bare Game project" and "Bare Game unit" templates available as extra options in the Lazarus "New..." dialog.
