Downfall

[Harry Hunt]

I wrote a small program to illustrate how to do non flickering transparent cursors and custom keys. Check it out. If there's something you don't understand, let me know.

Thanks for the code.
Downfall now has no flicker and customizable controls.

You can set the controls to be the same and play on both screens at the same time!

I know your code was just a simple demo but I found that I needed to add this

procedure TControlsForm.FormHide(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if not Timer1.Enabled then Exit;
  ControlsForm.StringGrid1.Cells[CellX, CellY] := Selection;
  ControlsForm.Timer1.Enabled := False;
  UnHookWindowsHookEx(KeyBoardHook);
end;

incase the user closes the form while a cell is still flashing.

Thanks again

Peter

yeah, there are a bunch of things that could be improved...
