Highway Star – a high-flying turn into palm trees and cartridges!

Image
  I'm a huge fan of Deep Purple's "Highway Star." A high-flying star, so to speak. A high-flying bird. A star on high. I guess that's how I feel about this song. About Deep Purple. And about upbeat rock music in general. Songs about good vibes. And accompanied by a video game!

WinoFly – bright flies and engine refinements

Image
  Development of a new game has already begun. In the spirit of an arcade game. Something about Galaga, I think. There will be flies. As the main theme. And the visual design is Windows 3.11. That is, a white background. Black text. And colorful flies like sprite drawings.

Lazarus – Case of – Simple Possibilities

Image
  Lazarus is an excellent solution for all Delphi and Pascal-like programming enthusiasts. But it's also designed for Windows-oriented solutions. Pascal-like programs include Free Pascal and Turbo Pascal, for example. And this is a continuation of the selection operator. A convenient and frequently used solution for iterating over values. How else can it be used? This is entry-level. In a simple way.

An Elf and a Necromancer – the Elf Chooses the Shortcut

Image
  It was a hot summer. Silence. Only a few insects flew occasionally. And somewhere in the distance, grasshoppers could be heard. It was scorching hot. The temperature was over thirty degrees. It was hot. It was truly summer. With bright sunshine. And a cloudless sky. A very bright day.

Deep Purple – Highway Star – I'm a star. From the highway. And forever!

Image
Air. Good mood. Energy and sun. A good car. And you're driving and jumping somewhere into the air. Driving along the highway. Into the sunny distance. A wonderful summer day. And you jump off the ramp. Into the sky. A wonderful blue sky with beautiful clouds. That's how I imagined the song "Highway Star."

Free Basic + Libraries! Everything works! Hurray!

Image
  I'm continuing and finishing the thread with my own engine. It's for a game in the Free Basic programming language, using various libraries to suit my needs. This includes MP3 audio, PNG graphics, and True Type fonts with Russian language support. This time, everything worked! I managed to get past the cycle of problems. And everything works! Hurray! I'm so happy!

Lazarus – Simple Case of Features, Learning Progress

Image
  I really like the Delphi language. A long time ago, I programmed in Delphi 7.0. I still remember how one of the students next to me joked, "What the heck is this Delphic Oracle?" "What the heck is Delphi?" Today, within this framework, there's the Lazarus programming environment. Lazarus. A modern environment for programming like Delphi.

Alice in the Park – Autumn and the Field

Image
  This field seems enchanted. That's what Alice began to think. Think about it. The field is long. It's hard to tell how long you've been walking along it. Everything is the same. As if a fragment is repeating itself. Dry grass all around. It's good that at least you can see someone here sometimes.

Bon Jovi - Distance – Photography and Distance

Image
  I heard a new song for myself. It had such a dense and slightly dark sound. It turned out to be Bon Jovi. Cool, of course! And his song "Distance." I don't know all his albums. And I was surprised. Such a cool black and white photo. With a huge antenna and lightning in the sky. Great photography. Such a slightly dark mood. But not much. And stylish, like Bon Jovi always is.

Free Basic, FBSound, FBPng, FreeType2

Image
  Since I've been sick, I haven't been able to maintain my development pace. And yet, I've decided to make a series of games similar in programming and gameplay concepts. I've decided to work on games like Galaga and Space Invaders for now. And in theory, it shouldn't be difficult. I have some ideas.

The marigolds are already blooming!

Image
  I'm already getting ready for the new gardening season. I've planted a lot of different things. It's already April. And soon it will be May. And just think, at the end of May, I'll be going to plant all this stuff. I haven't mastered everything in this process yet. And there's something to be amazed about. Marigolds! They've started blooming! Damn, ahead of time. Not all of them, just some. 1, 2. Literally a few!

Alice in the Park – Crows Flying Together

Image
  Alice walked along this boring autumn path. Now she's absolutely sure it's autumn. Now it's autumn here. And back then – it was summer after all. Or maybe it was still warm. Yes, the weather here is very interesting. For Alice – definitely interesting. And she must keep walking along the path. And she'll end up somewhere. She even knows where now. Thanks to her friend. It's a mushroom. The one who told her. There's a fork in the road further on. The ant village or the mushroom valley.

Deep Purple - King of Dreams – magic touched this recording

Image
    A truly excellent pop-rock track. 80s-level sound. Style. Cool sound. A song about dreams and magic. I guess every musician is a wizard. At least for a music listener. Crystal ball. Magic. Magic. I am a wizard. I am a wizard. A master of illusions. Magic touches my fingers.

I'm learning!

Image
  I caught a slight cold this week. My head just wasn't working. I couldn't make music or program projects. These are all things that require mental concentration and thought. So I've been trying to do something regularly—write about my developments. So as not to disrupt that. I'll just say that I'm continuing to learn.

Gardening is fun!

Image
  It's already April. The second month of spring. And I'm already getting ready for the new garden. That is, I'm planting. I already have a lot growing. Growing a garden isn't that simple. You just throw it in the ground and let it grow. The truth is, something will grow anyway. But not much. But I'm doing it smart. It's also a complex process. Multi-layered.

Alice in the Park – a Path Across the Field

Image
  Alice continues walking along this autumn path. Now she's absolutely certain that this is an autumn field. But you can't say it will be like this in the future. And beyond that, there could be a summer forest. Alice is absolutely certain of that. Here's the path. And she's going forward. Or backward. It depends on how you look at it. That's what Alice thinks. She's a very smart girl, after all.

Scorpions – Seventh Sun – Sensitive Rock

Image
  A slow bass rhythm opens the song. And drums. And a bit of melody. These individual strings. And then the rock begins. This band has a very interesting musical form. This rock band differs from other musicians, including both famous and unknown. Both top and underground.

Digital Reader – reading a story and design with a picture

Image
  I've long dreamed of combining two things. Writing texts. And programming. A story. And software. A program that displays your story. In a specific format. A picture. Like a cover. Or an illustration. One thing. And the text. And all this in a special program that understands its own format. That's what a digital reader is. It's a program.
