"Viking Stories" / Mobile app for iPad / iPhone
Delphi 12.1, SKIA, TMS FNC UI Pack
Thank you!
Wow ! very nice, thanks for sharing this. Can we blog, and perhaps share a testimonial on your game/app? If you agree, it would be good to give a bit more details on what the game does, what the story is behind it as well as which TMS FNC UI Pack components are being used.
Hi Pieter,
Yes, you may share anything what you need. More hi-res images may be downloaded from:
or send me a private email, and I'll provide more information.
I've published 2 apps for now: Clock and Runes.
Both apps were developed using cross-platform version of Embarcadero Delphi 12.1 (SKIA),
and TMS FNC UI Pack. Many thanks to Embarcadero and TMS Dev. Teams.
What I found for myself with FMX: comparing to Windows / VCL style development - where we usually build Forms from components at design time,
In Case of mobile app - first I prepare all graphic resources, hundreds of hi-resolution images,
then using the imagination I create UI and all animations at run time, depending on device resolution and orientation. I.e. there are many graphic containers and code, and no traditional form.
For me it was challenging how to store all data for SKIA (SVG), and manipulate those images quickly. Because the result should look good on any device, for example Full HD, Portrait mode / see Zoom:
That's how I discovered FNC Bitmap containers, FNC buttons, FNC tree-view, etc.
I like how FNC containers are integrated with other FNC components (trees, buttons),
Also I don't need to create several versions of all images. Just 1 hi-res (SVG or PNG).
I have been using your products since 2017 (GMap) then many others for Windows Development mainly:
I've been using Pascal since 1987 for all imaginable tasks, including scientific software and mission critical apps. I like the simplicity and clarity of Pascal that allows to express any ideas and develop reliable algorithms.
Before moving to Canada, I worked in Aerospace Industry.
Here I had been working in Game Development, and was teaching 3D Graphics, helped to improve the major 3D Product, until switched to Dispatch Systems Development (Delphi) in 2011.
Mobile Development is my new hobby.
My apps ideas are absolutely random. For example, I like all moving things, like clocks and watches (+ bikes), that's why I developed a Diamond Clock App.
Or, my Homeland country was founded by Vikings 1000 + years ago, and their rulers names are still popular (Oleg = Helgi). For me it sounds that I have to express my ideas here too :-)
Just for fun...
Thanks again!
Thanks Oleg!
