(mostly from yourself). It is quite singular, but there is Ultrastar Deluxe (https://github.com/UltraStar-Deluxe/USDX), a cross-platform Karaoke game, which is based on fpc using OpenGL, SDL and quite a number of other libraries instead of lazarus. However, it is quite involved and as such rather highlights the ease of using lazarus. All the best - Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [email protected] https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
