PAD and color

When I searched google for "The Adventure Zuul", I saw that my site can be found :).
Futher I found out that my game is hosted (without my knowledge) on this site:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Games/RPG/The-Adventure-62389.shtml
Looks like someone else does not get extra money for my game but only promote it. Strange that I have not been contacted about it though. I tried to update the info, as the download link was wrong. But I noticed you needed a PAD to do that.

What is a PAD I wondered. After some search and study: It's a standard system, for having info about your company and the software you develop, in xml. This way sites can easy add and update the games/program files it hosts. So, now I have now written my own PAD:
http://zuul.inc.googlepages.com/TheAdventure.xml

Other news:
*SoftCartPro was not as reliable as I feard. They stoped the service. Looks like I have to use Plimus to sell my future games.

*The Adventure has over two thousand downloads in the first week :). Still no donations though. Looks like no one wants to give me money for a free game. So next minor version will limit the game futher and promoting my next major version of the game.

*Finished my small font. Finaly, took many hours to get the perfect sharpness.

*After some coding I finaly made my own colorize function. With it both the fonts and normal pictures can get any color you like (and any alpha you want).
