Jason McMillen of PascalGameDevelopment.com In this much belated episode I talk with Jason McMillen of Pascal Game Development. We discuss the surprisingly vast world of Pascal Game Development with Delphi, Free Pascal, Oxygene and other Pascal and Object Pascal derivatives. You can find Jason “WILL” McMillen in the following places:

Jason has also provided us a list of Delphi / Pascal game engines and games developed with them. Some of these were mentioned in this episode.
Game libraries & engines

API Headers

Games

Commercial 

Non-commercial / in development 

Notable sites

Again only a fraction much of the libraries and games have come and gone and there isn’t much of a reference to them on the Internet anymore.

Posted by on 22-Aug-2011 2 comments

Delphi Live! for 2011 is September 12 – 14th down in San Jose again. Sure to be a great live conference with the upcoming release of Delphi XE2. Unfortunately I won’t be there (scheduling conflict), but a lot of other great speakers will be presenting.

Also coming soon is Code Rage 6. This is Embarcadero’s own virtual conference. The call for papers is currently open with the conference taking place October 17-21, 2011. I am planning on presenting at Code Rage again this time around. Again I am sure there will be a lot of great sessions there.

Somehow all the episode links were lost. I rolled back to an earlier backup of the database but that didn’t fix it. Instead I manually restored all the episode links. Enjoy!

46 – “Cooper” – Pascal for Java

Posted by on 22-Mar-2011 6 comments

A special interview with Carlo Kok about the new project “Cooper” – an Object Pascal compiler for Java and Android. “Cooper” is a new and exciting research project going on in the RemObjects Software Labs, to bring the Oxygene language from Delphi Prism to the Java and Android platforms. The original Oxygene for .NET set out to bring a modern and “next generation” Object Pascal to the .NET world, Project “Cooper” is taking this endeavor to the next level, expanding the reach of Oxygene to the second big managed platform.

Developer Solutions Conference – Las Vegas 2011

Posted by on 23-Dec-2010 No comments

Another combined episode with RemObjects Radio (we will have our own episodes again soon).  In this episode I talk with marc hoffman, Olaf Monien and Daniel Magin about the upcoming Developer Solutions Conference in Las Vegas for this February 2011.  There is a discount code good through Christmas on the site.  This is a really exciting conference.  It is the first joint conference with RemObjects and Developer Experts.  We are re-inventing the conference to degree.  The idea with the Developer Solutions Conference is to have all the sessions tightly coupled for a specific objective.  The objective this time around is introducing developers to cross platform and mobile application development, specifically with multi-tier database applications.  It will be a great conference and I look forward to seeing you all there.

Delphi Tage 2010

Posted by on 19-Sep-2010 2 comments

Recorded live and in person at Delphi Tage in Berlin (I’m still here for 2 more weeks for EKON too). The Delphi Tage (“Delphi Days”) was a short (3-day) conference organized by the German Delphi PRAXiS community forums, alongside Embacrdero and Developer Experts.  It provided two days of preconference workshops, and a day with 3 tracks of conference-style talks on various topics surrounding Delphi and Delphi Prism . Our podcast is basically a roundtable discussion with a bunch of people involved in the conference, including the organizers (Daniel Wolf and Daniel Magin), some RemObjects folks, David I from Embarcadero and Uwe Schuster (the guy behind the SVN integration in Delphi/Win32 XE) and Arvid Winkelsdorf of Indy fame.

Since this was so much fun, we decided to share this episode between here and RemObjects Radio.

Update: The organizers of the Delphi-Tage is the German Delphi community represented through Delphi-Praxis, Delphi-Treff and Entwickler-Ecke supported by Embarcadero Germany and Developer Experts.  – Thanks to Martin for clarifying that for me.

You do not need Unreal Tournament 3 to play along, since I will be hosting it.
