@Hans-Peter, maybe my son will one day be a great programmer but as for me making a "game-makers library for Lazarus", I wouldn't know where to start!

My son wrote (for his own education) a kind of snake clone which he started on Delphi 
(7). Since a year or so he is using Lazarus/Free Pascal. I am quite impressed by the 
graphics (the "snake" is not restricted to lines and columns but can be 
directed in a arbitrary direction and all the chain links follow the head as if it was a 
real snake, accelleration and direction changes may lead to a coiled snake etc.). 
Textures are applied to the chain links and so on... He got it running quite fast (well, 
age *does* a difference ;-)). He used opengl for the graphics.

From what I read on the web a lot of Delphi stuff is now being rewritten in other
languages especially C# which would make you wonder about the future (for
Delphi at least)

That's the problem: Those who give a ruling often don't know about the things 
they decide. So they follow the masses and what they hear from others. At least 
noone can blame them later if it was a bad decision.

BTW: As far as I know C# is something for Windows only.
