Firstly, apologies for posting here. I have no other idea of getting
anyone to see.

I used a link from this forum for the zen GL forum and tried to
register.
They use a verification option but the second one looks like its
bugged.
If anyone here is a member, can the get an admin there to sort it ?

I'm looking at the zen and other pascal options for game engines.
I currently have/work on old Delphi pascal files that use scrolling
tiled bmp images in a 3D asymmetric format with DirectX.
If any of the known pascal engines currently listed could do a similar
job, I'd love some info.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
I have already seen this thread and been checking the links etc. and
it was where I found the Zen GL link.

Have you tried the other one?

Although I never tried Allegro, but it sounds nice. Here what they
said about it:
"... create 3D graphics, define a GUI and almost anything you need to
create your own games.  And you can do it in good old Pascal or the
modern Object Pascal.  Also, if you do it the right way, your program
will run in Windows and Linux with few or not changes!  It may work
even in MacOS systems ..."

Also, you should give Castle Game Engine a try. I ever asked question
about its usage, and the author is very supportive. And the great is
you can export your game to run on Android and IOS devices. Lazarus
motto is "Write Once Compile Anywhere", so don't limit yourself to
write games only for desktop computers.

I contacted Andrey Kemka (the author of ZenGL and the admin on the
forum) last year. He mentioned that he stepped away from GameDev, but
wanted to update the forum at the beginning of 2016. Apparently this
didn't happen.

I'm using ZenGL, works pretty well for 2d.

Again, thanks for the replies.
My trouble is I keep looking at different options and not progressing
any further.

I even sit back down and start messing with D2007 again instead of
sticking with Lazarus.
