APE programming with Delphi
Well maybe this belongs to Troubleshooting, maybe not. I'm just posting here, so don't mind, it can get moved later if necessary.
What i wanted to ask is the following, has anyone some exoerience with APE-Programming in Delphi? I know C rocks, but it's damn difficult to pot that code.
It would be great if anyone had basic APE sources for Delphi which i could use, then i could blast all my programming knowledge into it instead of painfully porting it line by line.

Well, i dont do VB, in fact i have even less knowledge in VB than in C, mostly based on the Fact that i dont like VB.
Shreyas, pleas do one thing and dont introduc a "Shreyas dumb APE's" Category, PLEASE DONT! Use Render APE or Render instead, because if you got many APE's the category list is already filled up enough.
The APE itself is actually just another bouncy version of the torturial one :p I'd like it more if it had some colorfading.
If you dont know how, post me your sources, i'm gonna do it for you.

Okay reasons why you will never make APEs in VB/Delphi.
Delphi first:
1.) Delphi is based on Pascal.
2.) Pascal was designed to teach programming by being an easier, slower and generally less powerful version of C.
3.) Delphi is intended for rapid application development (e.g. making crappy database programs)
Net result: Delphi = Shit language for making anything that needs to be fast
Now to explain why VB would be crap for APEs here take the above explaination replacing the word Delphi with VB and Pascal with Basic.
