GiantsEdit source code

About

This is the source code of GiantsEdit (version 5.43) - an unofficial level editor for Giants: Citizen Kabuto that I wrote around the year 2002 in Delphi.

I'm releasing it as there's surprisingly still interest in Giants 20 years after its release.

Code

Code style and naming conventions are not up to standards as I was still learning and this was my by far largest project back then.

As usual for Delphi there are source files (.pas for Pascal) and dialog form files (.dfm) - some of the latter are readable, some aren't.

Compiling

This is old and untested code; I can't make guarantees about whether it still works.

You need both Delphi 6 and the ZipMaster package. It should work with Delphi 7 as well because Delphi 6 and 7 are quite similar.

License

The code is licensed under GPL v2 or later for now. Let me know if you think that you need a different license.
