NeverMan -> Delphi? (1/31/2012 5:22:35 AM)

Did I read correctly that you are writing this game in Delphi? Not criticizing (I have absolutely zero experience with Delphi), just seems like an interesting, sort of all the wall approach.

The choice for Delphi was made before I joined the project. Since I inherited 100,000 line of code it seemed pointless to throw that all away. I had programmed in Pascal and C++ extensively so there wasn't much of a learning curve - mostly dusting off cobwebs.

Sorry, the existing code base is in Borland Delphi (object pascal, fabulous Implementation!) and that is where it will stay since Delphi is my favourite language. If we had to start over in Java it would never see the light of day! Matrix has said point blank that I am not allowed to start over.

More interesting in my mind is the possibility of making it a Dot Net app in a few years. Delphi has a really nice upgrade path in that regard. It doesn't get you the cross platform compatibility you are looking for but does offer an interesting new direction. That is truly gleem in the eye stuff though so don't hold me to it!

Good question though!

Cheers, Rob.
