3impact is a game engine (see their demos, very cool). Very cheap with no royalties paid per game etc. (buy once), one year upgrades for free, next years upgrade with discount. Have also a collaborative license (half-price) for non-commerical usage. Also can arrange to get collaborative license from 3impact team if you contribute something (they can assign a task to you, e.g. make some 3D models, some cool demo etc.) There are various convertions of its C API, among those the Delphi API I created (over it I made an OOP layer that is more Delphi and COM like in programming style). I'd love to see a Lazarus conversion of those, since Lazarus is free and cause that conversion will help promote Lazarus/FPC to more people (game development people usually like Pascal anyway) The raw API conversion is there (just the package, with Delphi-compatibility option), but doesn't work OK either cause it doesn't build the DLL to the correct folder, or cause I did something wrong with the data "packing/alignment" (maybe FPC is different from Delphi6-7 in that?). My goal is to keep the same source base for Lazarus and Delphi, not have separate sources Similarly easy should be able to convert the OOP API (although not sure if FPC supports "Interaces") ---------------- George Birbilis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Microsoft MVP J# for 2004-2006 * QuickTime, QTVR, ActiveX, VCL, .NET http://www.kagi.com/birbilis * Robotics PhD student http://www.mech.upatras.gr/~Robotics http://www.mech.upatras.gr/~robgroup _____ avast!
