I am familiar with pascal and I became aware of a project (a mud client called Portal) that I use a fair bit that has been open sourced. It was written using Borland Delphi 4. It has some significant database components and currently uses whatever database borland uses by default (I think). I am not familiar with Delphi or Lazarus but I would like to take the code and make it more cross platform friendly since many of our users are Mac or Linux clients.
Is this sort of project reasonable? Is Lazarus a good place to start with this given that I am a noob? I looked at the database sections and I am somewhat concerned that porting this part is going to be a huge mess... If anyone is a fan of MUDs or just has some free time to help, I could really use some help. The code I am working with is available here. I don't seriously expect anyone to look at it, but if you wanted to I would be insanely grateful :) http://www.gameaxle.com/images/PortalOS_1-0.zip _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
