M-m-m-multipass

Well it's been about 5-6 years since I did any "real" coding, so I dug out an old copy of Delphi7 I had somewhere buried in the depths of my CD mountain.

The SE4 Mod-Launcher is all well and good, but it never quite did enough (in my mind). The development was cut short unfortunately, partly due to my increasing workload at uni all those years ago, and partly due to the complete destruction of the hard-drive containing the source-code.... so I want to remake it... and to include SE5 in it this time.

Over the years, I've grown and my tastes have changed. I'm more into minimalist applications these days, and pride efficiency over 'ooo shiney', so this time around I've decided to start making the Space Empires Multipass. (Title subject to change)

Aiming to be run entirely from the system tray, I'm going to try to have most of the application function entirely from a popup menu - leaving a dialog just for configuration purposes.

So, step by step I need to relearn how to code delphi, then what's required to get everything I need done.

Expect to see the project appear as soon as I have anything even remotely functional working, until then you can follow progress through this development blog.

I liked the SEIV version

I liked the SEIV version of the mod launcher; only real issue I had with it is I had to go back and close it after I launched a program with it!

There are 10 types of people in the world:

Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

You know I never considered

You know I never considered an auto-closing version.
Perhaps because I switched between games too much back in the day.
