DelphiGamer.com Showcase site goes Live.

**technomage** · 17-06-2007, 07:33 PM

I am pleased to announce that the new showcase site www.delphigamer.com is now available.

DelphiGamer is partnering with Savage Software Solutions and Pascal Game Development to provide a number of services for developers writing games in Object Pascal (Delphi/Free Pascal/Chrome).

These services include

A Free showcase for freeware/demo/shareware products
Low cost hosting services for members of the PGD community through Delphi Gamer Hosting Services.
Commercial services where Savage Software Solutions will sell your game for you and DelphiGamer will showcase the Freeware/demo versions.
Help and Advice on getting your game ready for Freeware/Shareware or Commercial release.

More details can be found on the site. We are looking for more games to showcase so please PM technomage if you want your game considered. By default the winners of each PGD Annual will be approached, but any one developing game that looks promising could be approached.

If you are interested in selling you game commerically please contact Savage Software Solutions directly.

In addition for a limited time a special PGD Coupon is available which will allow you to get Basic hosting services even cheaper (e.g ¬£1.5 p/m rather than ¬£2 p/m). PM technomage for more details.

This is really cool news! :thumbup:

One slight problem though,... the layout is not working for me (ie 7.0). The main content part is located beneath the rest of the site.
I've added a screenshot

Thanks Traveller

I think I hate IE :evil: . It's the only rendering engine in the world that doesn't obey w3c standards...

users using IE you'll have to bear with me while I try to fix this.

In the mean time if you have firefox, it works very well in that

Hey Dean, nice!

I was wondering when this announcement was coming out.

2 recommendations though. Use the PGD official logo instead of the cropped header graphic. And rename Iron Strike to TANX as they are different games. (Dispite that it's the same engine under different evolutionary timeframes) Iron Strike was never released.

**technomage** · 17-06-2007, 10:17 PM

Thanks WILL, I've made the modifications for Tanx.

can you PM me a link to the office PGD logo please

I fixed the site problems. Oddly I needed to put

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http&#58;//www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

At the top of my main page and this fixed the problem. This must force IE to use the w3c standards I guess. :?

**WILL** · 18-06-2007, 01:17 AM

Let me know the max width or hight you need and I'll make one of the right size and format for you. The original is really really large

Also do you want a background matte or will transparent do? IE might have issues with transparent PNG still.

Yeah, I've ran into this. Apparently IE forces some of the standards that are supposed to be optional huh?

Coooool

There are still people asking me where they can download Tanx

I will direct them to delphigamer from now on

**Eric** · 18-06-2007, 11:52 AM

I remembered being asked for permission like, ages ago... Nice to see it finally coming online

**Robert Kosek** · 18-06-2007, 11:57 AM

Well, if you don't specify a doctype IE will consider it prey to the HTML 4.01 standard, IIRC. Even then there are some sizing quirks, but nothing an override stylesheet just for IE won't fix.

Glad to see the site go online again! You look to have done a good job on it.

**FNX** · 19-06-2007, 12:04 PM

This-is-fantastic!

I'm going to polish some of my games and send them ASAP!

Question: will be possible to add links like highscores, project page (that
links to the thread in Your Project forum) and so on?
In other words, there will be the chance to customize the games pages?

Technomage you'll soon receive some PMs from me
