In this session, the text adventure proof-of-concept become a little more robust and 100% compatible with both Delphi and Free Pascal - refactoring. messy if-blocks into command tables and starting an auto-complete function.

Dropped my text adventure engine—originally built "elsewhere" (hehe)—straight into the Delphi IDE on Windows. Result? It builds with almost zero friction. Doesn't work for every project, but for a core engine? A win is a win.

Moving the Silver Engine from static arrays to a class-based DTO architecture for inventory management. Plus, an update to the Parser... filtering noise words!

Building a text adventure in Modern Pascal. In the latest video, we start an engine from the ground up using the MVC pattern to separate world state from the interface.

Is your expertise rented... or do you own it? ☕️
I’m benching the AI. No safety nets. Just raw Modern Pascal in the terminal. If the Wi-Fi dies, I still want to be able to ship.

small snake hunting fresh fruit - the golden pear!
Just pushed v1.1.0 of my Snake project to GitHub. 🐍
New features:
* High score persistence
* Fruit timers (eat it or lose it)
* 'Sick' movement debuffs

Spent a few hours re-wrapping a "missing" #libsodium function, only to find the official Pascal overload was there the whole time. Lesson learned: Windows Explorer is a terrible code search tool. Trust the IDE, not the OS.

Ever find a C function with a binding but no high-level wrapper?
In the next video, we’re looking at libsodium to show exactly how to bridge that gap... using C libraries directly from Modern Pascal.

If you have been following the gui version of the snake game... a high score list has been added (this week). See you in the next video!

Just uploaded a small, retro project: building a Snake game in Free Pascal using ncurses. A simple, fun break from the heavier topics lately.

Today I walk through a tutorial how to create and use Frames in Free Pascal & Lazarus... great for clean, multi-screen apps without the complexity. 🌿
youtu.be/6GVoXAOU2dg
New Free Pascal tutorial! This one explores how to use TTimer and the Paint event to create a smooth breathing animation in Lazarus. It’s a fun little GUI project and a great intro to animation in Pascal.

Sorting a DBGrid in Lazarus should (!) be easy... (a) write code or (b) just add a component and avoid writing code. Done it before. But it turned into a much bigger experiment!
