About FreePascal, SDL and the iPhone…

Posted by Johannes Stein on Apr 11, 2010 in Development, Mac OS X | 3 comments

There are a lot of angry blog posts and speculations about Apple’s changed terms of service for iPhone OS 4 out there which seems to ultimately affect FreePascal and Lazarus. I originally planned to release a new video tutorial this weekend covering the following topics:

  • Using Lazarus and Laz iPhone Extension to create your iPhone game
  • Use XCode to build and test your iPhone game on the real device
  • More advanced applications with FreePascal + SDL: Display sprites, how to use touch inputs and accelerometer

    • I’m putting this video on hold for now. But if you wish information on the points just described or care about my personal opinion, please contact me directly.

      Hi,

      The video you mentioned sounded ideal, for a new FP+iPhone programmer like me. I would still like to see this at some point but any information relevant to the subjects that you mentioned would still be greatly appreciated.

      Many thanks,

      Ian

      Hi, I would like to know what do you mean by the term SDL. Is it Specification and Descritption Language or Security developement lifecycle.

      @Ian: I’m probably going to upload the video some time next week, since Pascal and iPhone development is still 100% allowed for In-House and Ad hoc distribution, even with iPhone OS 4.

      @Hrudaya: SDL in this context stands for Simple Directmedia Library, it is a cross-platform multimedia library, for more information goto http://www.libsdl.org
