Yes it does support them. And if I'm not mistaken delphi has taken that after lazarus.

LOL! Ok, cool

Actually, talking about re-factoring...how would you feel if I made the menus for The Probe clickable using a mouse only? I am thinking this would be in preparation for a touch interface later on down the track if I make an Android version

So I might have some worlds to click on, and then the unlocked levels would be as icons you can click on for example like in Angry Birds and other games...

Lazarus supports regions in two flavors:

{$REGION Fold anything you want} 

{$ENDREGION}

and

{%REGION Fold anything you want} 

{%ENDREGION}

Though the first one should raise a warning from the compiler

Thanks Legolas

I don't think that making menu only clickable is a good thing.
Yes having ability to click on menu items would come in handy for touch screen devices. But sticking only to clickable items would make life for PC users a bit more complicated, especialy for those who likes using gamepads and other controlers. Anywhay having keyboard suport in menu is just a few lines of code more.

About unlocked levels having icons for user to click on would be a great idea. Another great idea would be multiprofile support (each player has his own profile).

Ok, thanks for the feedback...I will keep the menus usable by keyboard + controller, and mouse for touch later on

Separate profiles would be a good idea...thanks!
Well, I'm off to catch some ZZZ now - it's 11:04pm here in Tasmania, Australia!

Yes, I'm in "lurking mode" mood lately
By the way, I'm doing a complete refactoring on my chip16 emulator, adding the new opcodes too. Maybe I'll use your audio unit because it works just great

Well, I have updated the website for The Probe now...I have added a "Contact" page (send messages, etc. to me) and a "Submit/Review Bugs" page.
So when bugs are found from now on, if you could try submitting bugs to the website now, I can keep up on top of them and not forget them
