Hyper64 about

- What's Hyper64? -

Hyper64 is a free open source (GNU Public License) graphics library gives you access to routines that are not available in API's like directx or opengl, and at the same time, creates a interface layer that works directly with directx and the winapi to make it easy for you to create applications.

It's not only available for Delphi, ports were made for Visual C++, Visual Basic and Free Pascal (w32 targets), in a DLL form.

It's a very flexible tool, i think you'll find it useful for any kind of graphical applications, here's the current list of features:

    - DirectDraw support
      Hyper64 should work on Win95, Win98/WinME and
      WinNT/Win2k.
    - Gives access to fast primitives that aren't available in
       DirectDraw like Lines, Circles, Ellipses, Rects,
       Cubic Bezier Lines, Pixels, etc...
    - Multiple rendering Windows support using your existing
       windows (like Forms) or other objects (like Panels) that
       are defined as HWnd.
    - Window and Full Screen display.
    - Totally independent Full Screen mode,
       just leave the WinAPI stuff to Hyper64.
    - Installed Windows TTF fonts support.
    - Easier Input handling via DirectInput, you have
       access to Mouse, Keyboard and Joystick.
    - File system similar to PAK, you can pack all your
       files in a single compressed file.
    - Advanced Buffer system.
    - Load images froms Streams, Resources or Files.
    - System and Video memory for buffers.
    - Hardware acceleration when using Video memory buffers.
    - VERY Easy interface.
    - VERY Fast routines.
    - High precision timers.
    - Sprites and Alpha Channels.
    - Clipping in all functions.
    - Scaling, Rotating, Blur, Negative, Greyscale, Xor
      and Mirroring effects.
    - Blending:
    - Alpha
    - Alpha Channel
    - Additive/Saturated
    - Subtractive/Difference
    - Image Loading: BMP, JPG, PNG;
    - Image Saving: BMP, JPG, PNG;
    - Sound: MOD, S3M, XM, IT, MID, RMI, SGT,
       RAW, WAV, MP2, MP3, OGG, WMA, ASF
    - Video: AVI, MPG, ASF
    - Etc...

And a lot more!

- Who's behind all this? -

Currently only me, Diogo Teixeira, i'm 19 years old, my favorite hobbies are hanging out with my friends and enjoy nature,
when I'm not coding of course :)
My friends call me FoZi, I wonder why... enough about me!

Here's some of my friends, these are the current credits:

Thanks to mBaseX and HybRid-2k for making the DLL version a reality, we do make a great team ;)
