ANN: GameVision Studio

We've released an alpha build of GameVision Studio (GVS) which is an
IDE that can be used to edit/compile/manage object pascal source
files. GVS supports a large subset of the Delphi/Object Pascal syntax
and can produce stand alone EXEs.

It includes the GameVision API as part of the language and is aimed at
developers that need a light weight IDE to code there game projects
in. The goal is for it to evolve into a complete and robust
development environment for making 2D games. Additional tools to be
added include font/title editors and other tools essential to game
development.

Also there is support for extending GVS through extension DLLs. For
example if you needed to bind your own native code and make it
available when compiling, you can create a DLL that will be loaded
upon startup and bind your native routines to the system. This will
also be expanded in the future to allow plug in support for the IDE as
well.

So the GameVision SDK will give you the ability to use GVS stand
alone, to expand the system with extension DLLs and use your favorite
compiler to access the GameVision API directly. Later we hope to add
syntax for C/C++, Basic and maybe JavaScript.
