Congrats with start
About a site - it's a bit difficult to read a text with font which is used on the site. I don't know how it looks on MacOS X, but on Linux and Windows - thin and messy... Only big Titles(e.g. TERRA game engine) looks good.
Yes, and I would pay for a license
Yes, but only if free
Yes, other option (explain)
Not interested

Thanks, should be available next week
While I did not test it with that version, I'm pretty sure that yes, since all of the engine is written in Delphi mode, and only uses the language features from Delphi 7.
I don't use it since I think it makes the code look ugly. However that's a good point, since most people are probably used to it, I will add more types definitions, as TRenderer = Renderer, so that both can be used
Thanks for the tip, the forum was actually installed, but yesterday I accidentally did overwrite the config file, I was able to restore it now.
Yes, that's true, I'll change the font when I get home, thanks for the suggestion

TERRA is now available for download at www.pascalgameengine.com (Also includes a wiki and a forum)
It comes packaged with sample demos and the full source code of one of my games (and I plan to release the source of other of my games written using the engine).
Right the package only includes support to Windows, I'm currently fixing some small problems with the Linux and OSX versions and I'll release a new update this next week.
Along with Linux and OSX support, the next update will bring support more of the TERRA API (currently only about 60% of it is exposed in TERRA_Engine.pas), with stuff like support for leaderboards (similar to the Game Center in iOS, but works on any platform), networking (with matchmaking, no need for external servers), animated textures (video and webcam), along with more samples.
Support for iOS and Android will come soon too

Stroked lines in Features section looks really scary.
And like ppl says in previous posts foonts seems to look very thin and uncomfortable for reading.
Anyway, greets!
Theory is - when you know everything but nothing works.
Practice is - when all works, but you don't know why.
We combine theory and practice - nothing works and nobody knows why
Stroked lines are the features that are implemented but currently not available to the public yet (either due to lack of documentation/samples, or the code is not clean enough/stable)
The site really needs a better font, and some other changes, I still had no time for improving it
Yeah, that known to me. I have no time for website improvement for very long time. But now I do and I'm very happy about it. It's simple and pretty right now (but still need content to go )
I think that you must not to stroke this features, but "disable" it by using low contrast font, gray for example. It will be fell like disabled (for some reason) features and not so weird. Also you can write at the bottom of the page that grayed features are planned, and will be available soon. IMO ofc.
*I answer "not interested" in poll cause I use my own engine, however I'd like you to finish it someday.

Nice! I must try it.
Right now I'm in another project but I have another one that may need it.
No signature provided yet.
Thanks for the suggestion, I already changed the font, and once I get some more free time I'll test having some grey test for the disabled features
Nice, in case you need any help integrating TERRA with your projects, I'll be eager to help
