FINALLY! It''s done! For the last five days or so I worked like a madman and now it''s done! The XCESS Game Development Kit is mostly a set of DirectX wrapper classes for Delphi 5 and higher, but it also contains three tools including a bitmap font editor, a graphical user interface editor and a package editor. Using the package editor you can store a virtually unlimited number of files of any format in a single package file. XCESS also contains a thread driven timer component, a sprite engine, a system info component, a component that uses the Windows GDI for relatively fast graphics and a sound component that works without DirectX. The XCESS Game Development Kit comes with 28 sample programs, a 370 page help file and three additional help files, one for each tool. Oh, and of course its open source and free for both non-commercial and commercial use. You can download the pre-release version at http://www.xsdevkit.com
