Small useful application examples for new users

Hi,  :lol:
I'm wondering if you have created small applications to be used as
examples for all those who are new about Lazarus, or perhaps
Delphi/Pascal.

For example I have created two simple games (they can be downloaded
from my Home Page):
1. MineField (a Mine Sweeper clone)
2. Lazix (a Tetris clone, actualy alpha)

It will be nice to collect such simple applications (games or whatever
they are), so if you think that you are creating or already created
one, then share it!

I started, it is up to you to increase this list!  :wink:

There are a few examples in the lazarus\examples. More examples would
be a good idea. Maybe you can add a link to your examples in some page
(or a new page) at lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net.

Well,... I created a project on SourceForge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/dedalu/ (DEDALU := Demos and Examples
of Developing Applications by Lazarus Usage)  :mrgreen:

Just out of curiosity: Why didn't you use the Lazarus Code and
Component Repositry for these kind of projects?
IMHO it is a loss for the lazarus-ccr project, that there is a
seperate project created to do about the same thing: providing code
examples for lazarus. Did the lazarus-ccr project admins turn down
your demo's or didn't they want to allow you to be a developer?

lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net is mentioned in the lazarus about box and
I think it will be one of the first sites people come and look at to
find more information about lazarus.

Lazarus-CCR looks more like to be focused to support for components
and libraries to work with Lazarus and FPC. Right?  :?:
DEDALU is focused about development of small applications with
Lazarus/FPC. It will not deal with any specific library or a single
componet.
They are separeted targets, even if related to each other.  :wink:
I have also in mind to develop some components,... in that case I will
of course use Lazarus-CCR

Right?  :?:
Quote from: "From the lazarus-CCR site"
The goal of the Lazarus-CCR Knowledgebase is to make all documentation
for Lazarus and the Free Pascal Compiler available and searchable
online.
An important part of documentation is good examples (preferably
small). The lazarus documentation could use few more of them.  :wink:

This is good to hear.

I don't like the way Lazarus-CCR is organised, it's a large collection
of code and docs and finding useful stuff is slower than finding
Delphi docs and code.
Is there a good book like "Mastering Delphi .." by Marco Cantu ?
A good book should be focused on specific tasks:
GUI
Console
Hardware I/O
Databases
Printing/Reports
3D (OpenGL/DirectX)
Making Components
Sending the code and docs to the Lazarus team.
etc.

Hi all, here you can find the links to DEDALU:
Project Page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dedalu/
Home Page: http://dedalu.sourceforge.net/
If any of the Lazarus Home Page administrator wish, then he/she can
add them somewhere (links page and/or ccr).  :mrgreen:
