SDL for Delphi + Other Useful Libraries

[drezgames]

Happy new year!

Good work. Personally do not use SDL, but it's good to know when someone needs the headers. Do these work with FPC?

Thx! They were made for Delphi, and I've not tested with FPC. Of the top of my head, you would have to remove ReportMemoryLeaksOnShutdown, and remove the dotted unit names in the uses sections and use replacement routines for the ones I call from System.IOUtils and in theory it should work. It's win64 only.

Hi Jarrod,

I wonder what happened to the SDL2 repo, it seems to be gone. At least the links are 404'ing.

Best regards

It works for me. Maybe they had an issue.

Still not working for me: https://github.com/tinyBigGAMES/SDL :-(

Same here. And when I check tinyBigGAMES profile on GitHub here is only one public repository in their profile and that is topazgamelib

After searching on internet it seems that SDL component suite moved tohttp://www.lohninger.com/sdlindex.html

I wonder if this SDL component suite has anything to do with the SDL package of tinyBigGAMES which doesn't seem available anymore?

Actually I'm not sure any more. After further checking I see SDL component suite is a commercial product while I clearly remember it being free in the past if not even open source. Perhaps original authors decided to change their licencing. That might explain why this got removed from GitHub.
