Hype Machine

This article is about the current hype machine used from Spring 2018. For the hype machine used from Spring 2013 to Summer 2016, see Hypemachine.

Hype Machine is a simple hype generator written using >Delphi and >SDL with functionality to have its aesthetics swapped at will.

• Currently it's not features complete and it's hardcoded. As time progresses more features will be added and hopefully the front-end will be developed.
