So we released our engine as an alpha.
You can check out the SDK here:

The editor still needs documentation.
I'm awaiting feedback...
UPDATE:
Necro3D Game Engine Alpha 2 is released!

Very impressive indeed.
I really like the scripting language and the Sandbox editor.
It needs a full pure oject pascal working example though but I am sure you realise this.
Good job,

Yeah, I need to make more tutorials/examples... I already scripted a full pong-game.
Thanx for liking my engine/editor

Tutorial 1 project files: http://necrodome.homeftp.net/Projects/App_Necro3D/Project/Tutorial1.zip
I still working on some callbacks to let the user know the intro has ended. After this I will release a simple pong-game.
As for the scripting engine, you can press ctrl-space and a list of procedures and objects can be found. Some simple code completion.

Again, very impressive, seems fast and very little code needed to initialise the engine.
It would be nice to see an example that actually manually loads a few things and sets up cameras, lights etc. in objects pascal.
But again, one of the more promising 3D Engines I've seen in a long time.
Well done.

Your wish is my command.
I created an pong version in Delphi with the use of the engine. See tutorial 3 for details!
I also updated the DLL a bit!

I Still need to implement physics 'n' stuff... :(

Cool, thank you :)
One last request, a forum on your site for questions, tips et. ...or should this be towards the PGD team ;)

I don't have time to build a forum for my server... (I don't use php or asp, but pascal script to make websites :P ). So I think PGD would be a nice place!
UPDATE: Sorry, server currently offline :(
UPDATE: Server back online :)

Any chance of documenting the Landscape API commands plz?
NecroDOME

You can create landscapes (terrains) in the editor. Under Brush -> Terrain. The API does not include any terrain functions as well as geometry functions.

Nice.. good job :)
Maybe it's an idea to make a GUI tutorial.
No complex stuff, just a few dragable forms with some controls would suffice. ;)

Here is some code from my own test program. I will make a GUI tutorial soon.
It was just form my own testing purpose, it plays a sound and shows a window with 1 button.
unit MainForm;
interface
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms,
Dialogs, XpMan, OmegaTimer,
EngineImport, StdCtrls, ExtCtrls;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
Button2: TButton;
procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
procedure Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
procedure Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
procedure FormClose(Sender: TObject; var Action: TCloseAction);
private
{ Private declarations }
Timer : TOmegaTimer;
public
{ Public declarations }
procedure StartGame;
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.dfm}
procedure MyClick(Sender: Pointer); stdcall;
begin
Necro3DLog('MyClick - Set font');
// Necro3DGUISetFont('MyWindow', 'MyButton', 'Chess.nft', 3, 1);
end;
procedure ConsoleCallback(Cmd, Arg: ShortString); stdcall;
begin
Necro3DLog('Console> CMD> '+cmd+' ARG> '+Arg);
end;
procedure IntroEndCallback; stdcall;
begin
// ShowMessage('StartGame');
Necro3DSoundPlay('Sounds\Cannon.wav', False);
// Necro3DGUIAddWindow('MyWindow', 'Texture_256.jpg', 20, 20, 60, 60, True);
Necro3DGUIAddButton('MyButton', 'MyWindow', 'Texture_256.jpg', 'Test.jpg', 'Texture_256.jpg', 10, 10, 10, 10, @MyClick);
Necro3DGUISetFont('MyWindow', 'MyButton', 'Chess.nft', 3, 1);
end;
procedure TForm1.FormClose(Sender: TObject; var Action: TCloseAction);
begin
// Necro3DUnInit;
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var Dir : ShortString;
begin
Dir := ExtractFileDir(Application.ExeName)+'\';
Necro3DInit(Dir, 'Test Game', 800, 600, 32);
Necro3DSetIntroEndCallback(@IntroEndCallback);
Timer.Enabled := True;
Necro3DShowLog;
Necro3DSetConsoleCallback(@ConsoleCallback);
Necro3DRegisterConsoleEvent('test', 'Hielfe ofzow');
end;
procedure TForm1.Timer1Timer(Sender: TObject);
var i : integer;
begin
Caption := IntToStr(Timer.FPS);
Necro3DRender(Timer.Delta);
end;
procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
Timer.Enabled := False;
Necro3DUnInit;
end;
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Timer := TOmegaTimer.Create(Self);
Timer.MaxFPS := 1000;
Timer.Enabled := False;
Timer.OnTimer := Timer1Timer;
end;
procedure TForm1.StartGame;
begin
ShowMessage('Yeah!');
end;
end.
