Hello Delphi developers
Hello Delphi developers,
Let me show you the game we have been remaking in Delphi from scratch.
Our homepage is kamremake.com there you can find more info about the project. Yes, it is open-source (our SVN is at Google.Code) and currently there are 2 active developers.
I have been working on game tools and made a map editor for KaM, then later, in 2008 started this Remake. Here's our trailer showing new features in spring version:

Iwan Cahyadi Sugeng This is a very personal opinion ;) but I think Delphi is perfect for game developing. Unpopular, I think, because Marketing and Company strategy issue, not performance. In the old times the argue was about code performance VS C++. But today many games are made in Java, Python and other slower platforms.
ReplyDeleteDelphi is extremely productive and a game is not only the main graphic application, there is also small tools and game editors you will need, and Delphi is perfect and fast for that.
For me the OOP in Delphi is beautiful, and once your game start to grow and become complex it help you to keep the flow of the development and not fall in a complex nightmare!
One real problem is that because the inheritance of the "unpopular" and the company strategy of focus in Database and Web development, there is just a few libraries and graphics engines that support Delphi :-/
David Dean as with delphi it self, the problem is the same, marketing problem, the high cost of delphi could also impact developer choice, imagine that a serious game developer at least will have 50 developer, that will make 50 enterprise license, compare to other cheaper tool.
ReplyDeleteAs with delphi latest RTTI, i'm using it a lot, i use the attribute class a lot to build up my framework, it is a good language enchantment since D7. For the performance, i thinks it is still acceptable with current machine configuration. Don't you think so?
