Intel and "The Game Creators" have launched a program that calls for game developers to develop games for the netbook (EEE anyone ?) platform.

Some might want to participate in this competition:

I think you should put an article on the news if you think this is serious enough, i didn't see any rules excluding Pascal as an option to build a game but i think there is a requirement about the executable size and resources.

Hmmm.. sorry but:



14. Game Apps must be created with either DarkBASIC Professional or Dark GDK.

WOW, how did i miss that, i must have been sleeping, sorry :(
I knew there was a problem somewhere, this is a strange requirement.

DarkBasic and DarkGDK are products of "The Game Creators". So I wouldn't find it too strange. ???

Nothing stops you from compiling the GDK into a DLL and linking it via a FPC/Delphi app :). Little bit of outside the box thinking for ya :)

That's true, Pascal is awesome for taking outside Dynamic Libraries and incorporating them into wrappers. Long running history of doing so by open source communities. ;)
