Just got some more work in the prometheus interface. Added basic support for Scaling surfaces, rotating them and selectable levels of anti-aliasing/quality. Finished a sample program of the new prometheus interface and here it is: (most of it is comments though)

Code:

program PromVTest;

uses
	Prometheus_Vid,
	sdl;

var
	Image: pSdl_Surface;
	
begin
	//init stuff
	sdl_init(sdl_init_everything);

Code:

program PromVTest;

uses

As I last posted, I was considering making a set of units for newbie programmers based on sdl and possibly bassfpc. I can now say that I have just started some work on the units, and have decided to go with the following structure:

Data - Access to variable types and etc...
Video - Image loading, drawing, rotations and etc...
Audio - Audio loading, playing, looping, stopping, pausing and etc...

Is there anything missing from this? Probably. If you use ...

I'm considering making a set of units to manage images and audio along with rotations and a small script engine in pascal aimed at newbies so that they can get to grips with designing programs with SDL. For the audio I would plan to use the BassFPC library, although proprietary, it is free as long as you dont make a profit. Any ideas as to whether any of you would think this a good idea?

The reason I came up with this is I just remembered how I started out, and what a mess it was, ...

Ok, so now I get a blog too? You PGD guys planning on replacing everything and taking control of the world? Maybe I dont need facebook or wordpress anymore. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
