3D Credits Scroll with Delphi

A little fun with Delphi for today’s Star Wars day!

3D Credits Scroll with Delphi - May The Fourth

This is a pretty simple 3D form with a 3D layout at an angle, and then a 2D layout with text and images is animated up the 3D layout. The only code is populating the labels as the animation kicks off automatically.

3D Scroll - MayTheFourth-StructureDownload the code and run the full credit scroll, or change the message to share with your friends. It is FireMonkey, and while I only tested it on Windows, it should work on Android, iOS, macOS, and even Linux if you are running FMX Linux.

May the Fourth be with You!

Connecting to the Kinect for Windows with RAD Studio XE5

The Kinect is a 3D motion sensing input device for Windows. Based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral, it enables users to control and interact with their computer through a natural user interface using gestures and spoken commands.

You can get the Kinect SDK and drivers from Microsoft and the Delphi header files and samples from Google Code. This video was part of the Making the Connection: Programming Devices and Gadgets with RAD Studio webinar. You can view the full directer’s cut of the webinar on demand and download the code.
