All things Free Pascal can be discussed here.

For those not familiar with it you can visit it's web page here: Free Pascal Website (http://www.freepascal.org).

This compiler ROCKS !!!

It's nearly ideal for a low-cost games programming (at least for projects where you don't need VCL). And the performance is nearly equal to Delphi.

The DGDev Team, which I'm a proud member of, will soon release its second game, compiled with FreePascal :D

I don't know about the compiler but it's the awful IDE managed to scare me away.

Oh yes, I was not talking about the IDE. But I'm used to code in Java using Textpad, so FP is fine too :wink:

use the freeware IDE called Programmers Notepad:
http://www.pnotepad.org/

There are a few others some even compile it for you (altho I think PNotepad can do that too if configured), but mostly they don't compile it my way! ;)

Or if you are using it in a win-32 platform. Dev-pascal from Bloodshed os a great freeware IDE.

Maybe someone can make a Gamer's IDE for it?

I made a small notepad like IDE for FreePascal once with SynEdit (http://synedit.sourceforge.net/). Pressing F9 even compiled the code (though this feature was a bit buggy).

I guess what I want to say is that it shouldn't be to hard to make a minimalistic IDE yourself if you want to.

I once started an IDE, however I didn't have the time to finish it... worked pretty well too, well as long as you didn't try to save the project since that didn't go well yet! ;)

As to the IDE problem, use Lazarus -> www.lazarus.freepascal.org It's a Delphi clone IDE working both under Win32/Unices. It has it's own LCL(clone of VCL) which is almost complete.

Both FPC and Lazarus are not yet done but once they will finish Delphi will be a bad memory...

OK, Youn are talking about dos plataform freepascal. That who still use graph and crt units. I got it and I got devpascal too. But what I need freepascal if I got Delphi7?

Make 64-bit programs? OS X, Wince, IPhone and other ARM devices? Use D7+ features?
