justclaws Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I just discovered this open-source game development out there. It's programmed using a GUI and Pascal (a classic programming language). https://castle-engine.io An interesting review here. https://www.pascalgamedevelopment.com/content.php?425-Castle-Game-Engine-review-by-GamesFromScratch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Pascal was developed as a commercial language a lot as a result of Borland Turbo Pascal, and then the Delphi product, which with Object Pascal brought all modern methods ? to it too. ?

No, it's under active development, and the Discord channels and forums are relatively thriving. Compared to some commercial offerings, active today, I has a better future, being open-source, community driven. https://castle-engine.io/talk.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was told "it's just a teaching language, you won't encounter it in the real world" Also learned COBOL because "it's old, but you WILL still encounter it in the real world" So my first real job after college involved Pascal. Never encountered COBOL though ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
