I'd like to show to some people that FreePascal (and Lazarus) can do good graphical and efficient things Surprised)
So I organise an eye candy contest, with some simple rules, and I'll give three rewards ($150, $100 and $50) for the three best programs.
The rules :
-The end of the contest is December 15th (i may change the date if it shows to be way too short)
-The source code of the program (and used pictures + ressources) will be posted on Internet under the GPL, so be sure of what you use
-The program MUST : *Compile and work in fullscreen mode under Ubuntu 6.10 (i386), in at least 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 with Gnome or KDE
*Be readable (the will be used as a tutorial for graphics with FP)
-The program COULD :
*Also compile under Win32 and/or MacOS (not necessary but will be good to show how powerful FPC is)
*Support some options : printing the FPS, a max FPS limit, or the use of a "bpm" global (to synchronise it with music)
*Be used as a screensaver in Linux
You can use anything you want : GLScene, Jedi-SDL, etc...
The test machine will be an Athlon 64 3800+, 1Go DDR, Geforce 7900GTO with nvidia proprietary drivers.
