BlockOut Millennium for iPhone, iPad, iPod in April 2013 on the Apple AppStore

Block Out Millennium is one of the best puzzle games that you could have the opportunity to play. It has a great gameplay and it has unique features that make it stand out of the row of classic games and sequels with the similar gameplay.

Block Out Millennium allows you to play from a top down view of the three dimensional pit in which the blocks fall. Your speed can be adjusted whenever you want so you will have all the time in the world to study the next piece that goes down. You can choose between pits with different sizes.
You even can get the full 3D view of the game scene by simply rotating your device.
The game has very simple and intuitive touch control - no ugly buttons and joistics.

Image Processing:

Patrick Quinn sent me his version of convolution operation with TBitmap32. He wrote : " I use PixelPtr rather than scanline, gives a slight increase (12%) in speed. I have added an array of array of constants for the different filters, makes programming easier. Additional filters from Ender Wiggin's excellent article, 'Elementary Digital Filtering'."

Also I add new not convolution Kuwahara filter.

So you can download new G32FilterDemo.zip

UnTitledRTS 17.04.2001

1. TDXWEdit and new TDXWListBox and TDXWScroll are ready to use.

2. Multiplayer game is on progress and you can test IPX connection, but without any action in the game yet ( sessions only ).

3. Visual Scene Editor is starting.

4. Added new graphics for Buttons and ScrollBox.

UnTitledRTS 08.04.2001

1. Game scene now is an object abstraction:

unit DXWSceneUnit;
.....................................
Type
TScene = class(Tobject)

So game scene object can be created via class reference.( not from current source yet )

2. TScene can work with new static object defining in DXWStatObj.pas:

TDXWObject = class
TDXWObjectList = class(TObjectList)
TDXWImageObject = class (TDXWObject)
TDXWLabel = class (TDXWObject)
TDXWEdit = class (TDXWImageObject)
TDXWButton = class (TDXWImageObject)
TDXWPanel = class (TDXWImageObject)

TDXWListBox;TDXWCheckListBox;TDXWMemo and TDXWScrollBar will coming soon. Also I am going to write Visual Scene Editor and make support scene object information loading from file, like *.dfm. If anybody wish to help writing ones , please mail me for coordinate efforts.

3. Multi Player Game support starting.

4. Added new graphics for Buttons, Edit and Panel.

Project tested with UnDelphiX and it is 100% working without any changes in code - only in USES section. So from this time project will based on UnDelphiX.

DXSprite.pas was changed to make property SurfaceRect accessible from outside of the unit.

Also from this time source code initially is in window mode.

Z-profiler will be used for measure code efficiency.
