Hello,
as precedently settled (on 18th May) on the telegram group, these are the source code for the two tutorials related to the framework that I wish to add to the wiki. Unfortunately the 2 projects are only for Lazarus/FPC as I don't own Delphi anymore so I can't provide a Delphi version. This is why I choose to put them in the "LCL" subfolder of the "Examples" folder. However I can change the destination folder if necessary.
Is it possible to grant to my github user temporary write-access to the wiki so I can add the 2 tutorials as markup files and the related images?
TIA,
Domenico

Hi @DomenicoMammola,

Thanks a lot for sharing this and for your initiative!

About adding the examples: since the Brook repo is focused on showcasing features that work with both Lazarus/FPC and Delphi, we try to keep it as minimal and cross-compatible as possible. So unfortunately, we can't host examples that are Lazarus-only directly in the repo.

A good alternative would be to publish the demos in your own GitHub repository. That way, you're free to manage the content, and we can help spread the word, feel free to share the link in the Telegram group or any other channel related to Brook.

Thanks again for your contribution and for understanding!

Hi Silvio,
it's fine for me, no problem at all. I shared a month ago on the telegram group the link to the repo with the 2 tutorials and the source code. Renat also suggested to put some kind of reference to them also in the original Brook framework repo so this is why I've opened the pull request. I understand that to keep the compatibility between Delphi and FPC is fundamental. Eventually if I will get a working Delphi to port the 2 examples, I will open a new pull request.

Hey @DomenicoMammola, thanks a lot for your understanding and for taking the initiative to contribute, I really appreciate that!

Just to clarify, the current examples are meant to demonstrate only the basic functionalities and serve as a starting point. They're intentionally kept simple to help newcomers quickly grasp how the framework works.

That said, your tutorials and examples are much more advanced and better suited for developers looking to go deeper. I believe they'd be better hosted in a dedicated repo that you fully control, this way, you can evolve them freely without worrying about compatibility constraints or minimalism in the main repo. We can absolutely reference your repo in the documentation or README so people can find it easily!

Let me know what you think, and again, thanks for your work and willingness to contribute to the community!
