I am using Jedi SDL. It has headers for SDL_ttf, SDL_net, SDL_Image, and everything else. Works really well. Yesterday I did this SDL tutorial: http://lazyfooproductions.com/SDL_tutorials/index.php just adapting to pascal. SDL is really easy. Much easier then DirectX. It also has a really small library (600kb) and is very portable. > Anyone with a FreePascal game please e-mail me a link, > description, hardware requirements, and target OS I am writing a Civilization-like game. I started this project many years ago and it was quite advanced. But back then I wrote it on Delphi, using DelphiX interface for DirectX and MS Access as database. It´s just too much work to adapt it, so I am re-writting on: Lazarus, Jedi SDL and SQLite. It´s not FreeCiv. I want to do something much better looking and add many interresting concepts. I would like at the same time, to capture the civilization playing fealing, and try to do a realist simulation of ruling an empire. I started today the rewrite. Here is the first screenshot of the map: http://www.braillevirtual.fe.usp.br/temporario/isometric.PNG I will be using Lazarus forms to speed up dialog building and use SDL for the game itself. I have access to many really great 16mm movies about WW 2, so I may even digitalize them and include them on a WW 2 scenario. It has no name for now, but as a codename it can be called OpenCiv. Hardware requirements: 16MB of RAM probably just that Target OS: Every OS supported by Lazarus =) > information and I will link to it from > http://www.astrodust.com. I'll be resurrecting that > site and I would love to trade links. About the website, is it about a specific genre of games or a general gaming website? If it´s a general website, I would sujest that you add things like: * Forum for discussion * Wiki for pascal gamming tutorials > Although, I hope that there are 4 > people here interested in being the core of an indie > FreePascal game development team. What is an "indie" game? thanks, -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
