Behind the scene

Sysygy Image Viewer, SysygyED and the GalleryCreator was created by me (David Huettig). I have released this piece of software as freeware. This means that you can copy and use this application on as many computers as you want. If you had to pay for this program of if this program is full of advertising, order your money back and report the website, you have downloaded the package from, to me. I will try to stop this redistribution.

I have to pay a lot of money every month to keep my web page online. I will never see this money again. So please, if you like my work, please support me with a small donation. This will help me to keep the web page and my programs alive.
If you do not have any money as well but you want to support me, just send me an email. Good or constructive feedback is the best way for me to get your opinion.

I was the only person developing this application. It is impossible for me to test everything on different hardware, so please - if something does not work correctly of if you have a problem: contact me. If you do so, I might be able to fix the problem, but if you do not tell me, nothing will be changed.

This application is my second big project with OpenGL and the first OpenGL engine, which I would call engine. Here are some statistics:

  • I've started the development of this program in October 2006 and worked on it at least once a week.
  • The whole application was written with Delphi.
  • The complete source has a length of about 170'000 lines of code.
  • This was/is the biggest project, I've started up to now (as measured by the lines of code)
  • The disc size of this project is about 7 GB (backups included)
  • Backups are stored on three differend hard discs
  • The project survived 1 hard disc crash on September 10th.
  • I've switched between three graphic cards during the project
  • I've spent more than 1'700 hours in front of the computer monitor
  • About 90% of the time music was playing in the background
  • Two keyboards and two mices were used (not at the same time of course)
