Some new projects...

Here are a few recent projects I've created that might be useful to others:

• CScript: C99 Scripting Engine for Delphi
  🅲🆂cript represents a sophisticated 🅲99 scripting engine meticulously crafted for experienced 🧑‍💻 Delphi developers. Leveraging the compact yet highly versatile TinyCC compiler, 🅲🆂cript seamlessly integrates ⚙️ dynamic backend code generation into the Delphi development environment. With 🅲🆂cript, Delphi developers can 🛠️ compile and execute 🅲 scripts at runtime, directly in 💾 memory, and generate output in the form of 🪟 Win64 executables (.exe), dynamic-link libraries (.dll), or 📂 object files (.obj).
• MemoryDLL: In-Memory Win64 DLL Loading & Execution for Pascal.
  The MemoryDLL unit provides advanced functionality for loading dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) directly from memory in Win64 environments. Unlike traditional methods that involve loading DLLs from the file system, MemoryDLL allows you to load DLLs from byte arrays 📂 or memory streams 💾, retrieve function addresses, and unload them—all in-memory. This library is ideal for Delphi/FreePascal developers who need to manage DLLs without relying on the filesystem, enhancing both performance ⚡ and security 🔒.
• PSFML: SFML for Pascal
  PSFML is a Pascal binding for the ⚡ Simple and Fast Multimedia Library (SFML), providing Pascal developers with a straightforward way to utilize SFML’s multimedia features directly in their projects. Whether building 🎮 games, 🤖 interactive applications, or 🎥 multimedia tools, PSFML integrates smoothly with SFML, bringing robust multimedia functionality to the Pascal ecosystem.

Enjoy! 👀

Here are a few more projects:

• PLUA: Lua for Pascal
  PLUA is a lightweight and powerful 📦 that integrates LuaJIT scripting into Delphi, enabling you to easily add a scripting layer to your Delphi apps. Whether you're building dynamic software 🖥️, adding mod support 🛠️, or simply looking for a way to make your apps more flexible and customizable, PLUA makes this possible through simple, straightforward APIs.
• CPas: Static C Libraries for Delphi
  A collection of hand-picked, high-quality C libraries, compiled into a single translation unit and seamlessly integrated into Delphi. This approach eliminates the need for external DLLs, runtime extraction, or loading them in memory, simplifying the development process and reducing potential compatibility issues, such as antivirus 🛡️ interference.
• Mamba Game Toolkit: Advanced 2D Game Library for Delphi.
  Mamba Game Toolkit (MGT) is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use 2D game development library for Delphi. Tailored to meet the needs of Windows developers, MGT offers a streamlined approach to building 2D games, focusing on simplicity, performance, and reducing external dependencies. With everything linked directly into the executable️, it eliminates the need for runtime DLLs, simplifying deployment and enhancing the overall stability and reliability of your projects.

Enjoy! 👀

I tried some projects to compile with D10.2.3 and all had errors

 all kind so I gave up.

Only your about component compiled OK

P.S no FMX.fhtmledit

I'll never understand people like you. Every project except CScript has a Requirements section where he mentions that Delphi 12.2+ is supported, or at least that it is made and tested with Delphi 12.2. You really should RTFM more often.

Good idea for PLUA project. I've seen an old LUA package for Pascal but it wasn't maintained.

 

@tinyBigGAMES You open many projects but globally only for Windows, do you want to try other platforms in the future ?

Hi, thanks! At the moment, I'm only targeting Windows. Mostly because much of that audience is on Windows. I won't rule out other platforms, however. The products that I create are for clients using Windows. The libs are open source so if anyone wishes to port to other platforms, go for it. Note that often, a library may take express advantage of a feature that is limited or unique to the Windows platform, however. In the case of games for example, the last time I looked at the Steam stats, the vast majority of users there are still on Windows. It's no debate that Windows still has the best development tools, and it is still much easier to release on it. But, like I said, I'm not against it per say, just that for me, in the current moment, I have no need or desire to release anywhere else.

What if you wanted an even smaller Lua integration for Delphi? Just using stock Lua 5.4.7+, statically linked directly into your Delphi executable with no external overhead, and automatic registration of native Delphi routines, all in a single unit? Introducing Chandra - Lua Scripting for Delphi.

A client needed a tiny, simpler, but capable Lua scripting solution than my recently released PLUA. The Chandra.o file (just Lua compiled into a single translation unit) is linked directly into Delphi via {$L Chandra.o} with ~600kb overhead. It can directly register published Delphi class methods via RTTI.

Enjoy, happy coding! 👀
