My niche game developer tool "ZGameEditor" is now finished and
released in 1.0 version.
It is a little tool for making 64 kilobyte games and screen savers
for Windows.
Some of the key features include:
* OpenGL graphics
* Real time audio synthesizer
* Scripting language
The tool is written in Delphi.
Here is the website: www.zgameeditor.org
Looks great!
Now a news item.

It's pretty cool
However the executable filesize is more like 92KB than 64KB
And what's up with the c scripting? I thought this was a Pascal forum
But seriously this a quite good program. It's easy to work with and your tutorials on the website are excellent.
Imagine I've written something clever here inspiring you to make something awesome. If that happens give me credits
Wow!!! I'll surely give it a try tonite!
Great job!

savage: Thanks for making it news!
pstudio: When you run a game from inside the tool (using F9), they are uncompressed. The size is about 100kb before compression. When you select "Build release" from the menu you will get a small exe-file (thanks to upx-compressor tool).
ZGameEditor is now updated to version 1.2.1 with improved support for importing bitmaps.
Here is a short google video showing the new included demo project "CleanseCube":

Well done. I hope that plenty of people try out this software. Maybe PGD could run a competition: create a 64K demo with ZGameEditor? Good luck.

The source code for ZGameEditor is now available. It is written in Delphi and can also be compiled with Free Pascal.
Parts of the code that can possibly be reused for other projects include:
* Directsound/SDL-based realtime audio synthesizer
* Expression/script parser and runtime
* MIDI file parser
* 3DS file parser
* Steering
* Implicit surfaces
* Component model with support for deep cloning and stream from/to XML or compact binary format
* GLSL integration
* Linux/Mac/Win32 cross platform runtime

Wow impressive.
Does your realtime audio synthesizer work without directsound? Do you have an OpenAL version planned?
I see you use coco for creating your scripting language. Could you explain how you go from coco to something that actually works inside an delphi application? My experiments with coco never lead me further then parsing a script into an treeview using an delphi application. What coco editor are you using?
