You can download it here: http://openb3d.retrogamecoding.org/openb3dpas.zip
What's Openb3d? It is a library that allows easy access to 3d features of OpenGL, and quick game development and can be found on sf.net: http://sourceforge.net/projects/minib3d/ (here you can download the Windows DLL or the source to compile on Linux).
The interesting part is that the library is (almost) API compatible to Blitz3D.
Unfortunately Freepascal has no "native" graphical system like Freebasic, so you'll need to use SDL or GLUT or anything else which can open a OpenGL window (maybe TOpenGLControl works, too). I just tested SDL and (Free)GLUT so far.

Well, I'm making game around that.
Similarly to such hits like Not Tetris, my project will offer unique twist to gameplay - it'll feature randomly generated (with option to set seed) perlin noise-based infinite levels. How far can you get?

Libs used: Allegro.pas (with OGG Vorbis addon).

Things I may include:

- Ability to switch between submarine levels and enemies and helicopter (not much gameplay value, mostly graphics thing)
- Boss run mode, where levels won't be infinite and will feature boss fight at the end, just like original SML heli/sub levels did.

For now, I'm figuring out Allegro but unless something bad happen (like me being unable to find perlin noise generation unit, preferably with offset function for easier generation of infinite landscape in chunks), this is pretty easy project to write. Graphics and music will be ripped from SML, obviously and will be scaled up 2x (w/out filters). ]]> Your Projects Darkhog http://www.pascalgamedevelopment.com/showthread.php?21334-Super-Heli-Land
