Isn't GLScene good enough as an OpenGL wrapper ?
Yes OpenGL ES exists for WinCE.
Indeed OpenGL is powerful for both 2D and 3D and most cards support it
to some level, however a native 2D engine independent of the other
accelerated APIs could be used for many things not just games and with

why do you need blending in this environment?

A.J.,
Don't worry about Beelzebub's negative comments, I've already noted
that your gamepack has a valid place and that I have plans for using
it exclusively in one of my projects. Who cares if it doesn't meet
someone's expectations of what they want from a package that maximizes

And I am not getting tired of promoting OpenGL. FPC works with OpenGL very
nicely and can deliver high quality and high performance graphics as good as

TForm only get's the events from the keyboard if KeyPreview is set,
IIRC. Apparently it's not a good way to go because enforcing key preview
on the form may spoil some other techniques or hinder existing programs
from working.
I hope someone having intimate LCL knowledge can jump in here and

I don't think there ARE any to overwrite- perhaps in the parent class
for TCustomControl, but they aren't
First of all, I never wanted to bash your components and I think the CCR is a
good place for them. I just don't think that it should be shipped with lazarus.
And you have every right to be proud of your work.
Fair enough. I didn't think it was being bashed, just that I needed to

That may be a good start. I'll submit it to the CCR as soon as I finish 1.0

If not, maybe hooking into the surrounding forms events would

This was my first idea, but unfortunately, it doesn't work at all.
The reason is that forms only get keyboard focus onActivate and even

Hi all,
I've been working on my gamepack component package for a long time
(nearly 4 years now) and it's quite a nice set. Not perfect of course,
but it's two components for gametype graphics do work very nicely.
Gamepack provides the following components:

Sounds like you put some serious work into your gamepack, but I don't
think that something as specialised as this should be a standard component.
Remember that it is only usefull for 2D games on old hardware as you can get
all of this (and some nice features more) by using OpenGL for your
