Delphi is easier than BASIC =)

[shayden]

Delphi is so friggin easy, I still give stefan credit and all, Graal is beyond my capabilities but in less than an hour, I made an alternative to notepad! I was 3/4s done and hadn't typed in a single line of code yet =) I'm gonna see if I can figure out sprite mapping!!! If you want Delphi Compiler, PM Me =D

vb is so easy its simple, luckly for me kjl helps me with programing since there 1337 in programing and scripting. but yea if you can script in graal then you should beable to program in vb , ive never used Delphi before so i would have to check it out.

Delphi might be easier because its closer to C,
and you have some 'scripting rules' so existing
source is easy to understand, and it has a component
system where you e.g. just put a DelphiX component
onto the window and you can do directx stuff.
Also Delphi programs have less bugs than VB programs,
because all necessary stuff is put in the exe, so you
don't need to ship special dlls with your program and
it is working on all windows. Good is also that
Delphi 6 and the Linux version Kylix are free for
non-commercial use.

On the other hand VB is better supported by
microsoft (because VB is from MS ;-) and it has
a 'change code at runtime' feature, and if you are
looking for a job in the US then VB might be better
because more companies there us VB and don't
know about Delphi (while in europe not many
people use VB)

VB is fun. Im considering learning Delphi but, currently worring about C++

[shayden]

Delphi is so fun =) I just made a little block move around a 10 square level with certain colors blocking =) This is so cool!! I love Delphi, C++ is just dumb, I know it but it is kinda hard to get the windows API correct, Delphi does it for you =)

[Cloud_X]

Waaaait... Delphi is portable to Linux? (I mean, minus the DirectX stuff) Damn! Now I'm going to have to learn it!

[revalation]

Delphi is pretty easy, considering I have no programing experience in VB, C, etc...

That's the effect I was hoping for.

You know Trinexx?

[ownerofbabylon]

Im making a graal/diablo game in VB with DirectX I might convert to Delphi if it truly is easier.

[konidias]

I still want that graal delphi example you mentioned a while back stefan..

[AlexH]

someone send Delphi over my way

[email protected]
or
[email protected]

also send a lil link to a tutorial for using it

thx

[FxChiP]

There's something like Dev-Pascal or something like that that is a Delphi compiler (Delphi is sort of a spin-off of Pascal).

[AlkarenHyralt]

Until I started to play graal, I had never heard of Delphi.

Oh please please please release the Linux Graal, if only as a binary. Graal doesn't work in WINe, and I have only one computer on which I might run my server. I really DON'T want to keep using a server on unstable Windows ME...
