Quad Engine is an open source DirectX game engine built in Delphi which also offers bindings for C++ and C#. Blast-off is a showcase game built in the quad Engine and available on Stream. It is described as “Blast-off is a hardcore jumper/runner/shmup, where your alter ego will be a ball of anti-matter seeking to leave our Universe. Anti-matter is extremely difficult to exist in our universe, because when it contact with matter it annihilates. This forces the hero to reach super-fast speed to break through the space-time and break through the limit, where he will find peace in the void.” The game engine itself has 10 different demos showing how to use various features in the engine. Additionally, there is a showcase section with 12 different games plus full source code built with the quad Engine. Quite an impressive feat of engineering in a small package.

Most applications demand high-quality text rendering, resolution-independent outline fonts, and full Unicode text and layout support. Looking for a device-independent text layout system that improves text readability in documents and in UI for Your Delphi/C++ applications? How to build such Text Rendering Capabilities to your FireMonkey controls? This post will guide you. (e.g) Let’s see how to enhance the TLabel control with Rendering and formatting capabilities for the Text in HTML Tags. How to create:1. Create a descendant of TLabel that supports a limited selection of HTML tags. Parse the label for HTML tags every time the text changes.2. Override its Dochanged method to parse the text for HTML tags3. Use Firemonkey’s TTextLayout class to apply formatting attributes to parts of the text. Note: No need to use HTML for formatting instead we can use TTextlayout. TTextLayout is an abstract class that provides mechanisms to render text quickly. Such rendering systems are supported by DirectWrite API (Windows) and Core Text framework (OS X). Also used to calculate glyph positions, measure text, draw text, and covert to curves for path effects and 3D extrusion. To create this class, use TTextLayoutManager – In charge of choosing the appropriate layout class type for the current running platform. Use AddAttribute to assign text block properties like TTextRange (starting position and length) and TTextAttribute (font and color). When changing several properties of the layout, you should use the BeginUpdate and EndUpdate procedures. Use RenderLayout to render the text on a canvas. The PositionAtPoint method returns the position in the text by the position’s coordinates. The RegionForRange method returns the array of the rectangles surrounding the range of the text specified in ARange. Another feature is the ability to convert text to a TPathData object by calling the ConvertToPath procedure. Check out the full Video of creating a Simple FMX HTML control below.

We are excited to announce the immediate availability of TMS WEB Core for Visual Studio Code v1.1 that now enables developing cross-platform Electron desktop apps and PWA’s. This is a new milestone in the development of RAD component Object Pascal language based web development. The key differentiators of TMS WEB Core for Visual Studio Code are: RAD component based development from the free Visual Studio Code IDE RAD designer using web technology, enabling live, wysiwyg design-time rendering Development directly from Windows, macOS and Linux desktop machine Rich eco system of web related development extensions for the IDE Modern IDE with multiview editing, direct high-DPI/retina support With TMS WEB Core for Visual Studio Code v1.1, we complete the three targets that TMS WEB Core offers. In the new v1.1, we introduce next to classic web client applications the Electron application target and PWA target. Electron The first new target is Electron applications. Electron is a framework that enables to create compiled applications for Windows, macOS and Linux using web technology for rendering and execution of the application. The Electron framework is fully cross platform and at application code level there is nothing to take care off in terms of different platforms. Note that it is thanks to the Electron framework that the hugely popular Visual Studio Code IDE runs on Windows, macOS and Linux directly (and recently also Raspberry Pi target was added recently). As Electron applications run as executables directly on the desktop operating system, this means that extra functionality such as direct local file access, access to all kinds of operating system dialogs (File Open, File Save), toast messages, taskbar notifications, drag & drop support and more … is available. For a TMS WEB Core developer, this is offered through Electron specific components. For direct local or network database access, there are also two dataset components for direct access to mySQL and PostgreSQL. PWA The other new target is Progressive web applications. PWA is perhaps the most promising direction for web client application development. A PWA is a responsive web application that can run offline and can be installed on mobile devices (iOS/Android) and also in desktop browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge Chromium. After install, your PWA can be started from an icon on the home screen as if it is a native cross platform application. It can run offline and when online, it will still update itself. So, as a developer there are zero concerns about deployment. With TMS WEB Core for Visual Studio Code v1.1, you simply choose a PWA type from the projects repository and it automatically generates all necessary files for creating a PWA. Everything available for classic web applications and that you learned about it is applicable for the PWA project type. Summary With v1.1, the TMS WEB Core target support is completed. As far as core framework is concerned and the target support, TMS WEB Core for Visual Studio Code is now on par with TMS WEB Core on Delphi. Best of all, the projects are 100% compatible, so Visual Studio Code developers can decide to start using Delphi and continue working on a project and vice versa. Or a Delphi developer on Windows can exchange projects with a colleague using Visual Studio Code on macOS, etc… Availability TMS WEB Core for Visual […]
The goal of our consulting partner network was from day one to have local experts speaking the same language and being in the same timezone available for consulting to Delphi developers using TMS components and tools. Since its inception, we work closely together with 5 partners in 5 different areas and speaking at least 5 different languages. We are proud to announce today our new consulting partner and representative for the french speaking TMS/Delphi community: Thierry Laborde! Thierry is no unknown in the Delphi world. Thierry has been a Delphi developer for more than 20 years, since Delphi 1 (and even previously on Pascal and Turbo Pascal) as well as a project leader in different French companies in many different software domains: Accounting, payroll, gambling casino, retail, access control, advertising, bank, health… But Thierry was obviously most visible to Delphi developers in France as technical manager of Embarcadero Developer tools in France at ArrowEcs Company (The Embarcadero distributor in France) for 6 years and later as Embarcadero Country Manager for France for less than 3 years. Thierry has been at Delphi roadshows all over France, gave numerous presentations, organised webinars and wrote blog articles. Thierry Laborde was Delphi Developer certified as well as Delphi Master Developer certified in 2011. What might be less known to Delphi developers and TMS component users, is that Thierry created the foundation of what became the TMS VCL WebGMaps product and Thierry collaborated on the TMS MultiTouch SDK project. It goes without saying that Thierry has a deep expertise not only in Delphi application development but also in component development. As such, we are confident that in his role as consulting partner and representative, Thierry will be able to assist French speaking developers with even the most challenging Delphi projects getting the most out of the TMS components or recommend the right components for the job. Without a doubt, these are exciting times for Delphi developers & TMS component and tools user in France. We are thrilled that the deep Delphi & TMS components expertise and skills from our long-time friend are available again for French speaking customers. Not only can French developers hire Thierry’s expertise, but Thierry will also facilitate that customer feedback, needs, request, … are communicated to the team to improve and extend our products. Reach out to Thierry via france@tmssoftware.com. At the same time, we would like to take the opportunity to mention that we still wish to extend our consulting partner network, foremost in the Asia area, Australia, Canada, South Africa. If you are Delphi developer with TMS component expertise and offering consulting services, get in touch and we will be happy to discuss how we can move forward.

In this short tutorial, C++ Product Manager, David Millington, explains what event handlers are and how to use them in your C++ application development. Overview The event is that something happens. Event handler – a method that’s called when something happens or is attached to an event. Technical details: an object-method pointer, referring to both the method and object instance on which to call the method. And it can have any signature. Defining Event Handlers In an event receiver class, you define event handlers, which are methods with signatures for instance: return types, calling conventions, and arguments that match the event that they will handle. Firing Events To fire an event, simply call the method declared as an event in the event source class. If handlers have been hooked to the event, the handlers will be called.
