PasSFML - Simple and Fast Multimedia Library for Pascal

audio and network.
It is originally written in C++, and this project is an inofficial binding for the Pascal language. It makes use of the C wrappers from the CSFML bindings.

You can find SFML here: http://www.sfml-dev.org/

Download
--------

You can get the current development version from the git repository (https://github.com/CWBudde/PasSFML).

Compiler
--------

Currently Delphi and FPC/Lazarus are supported. However, due to a compiler incompatibility with the Delphi compiler (solved with workarounds), FPC is recommended at the moment.

Remarks
-------

For Linux development it is necessary to also install the libcsfml-dev package.


Learn
-----

There is no tutorial for PasSFML, but since it's a binding you can use the C++ resources:
* The official tutorials (http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/)
* The online API documentation (http://www.sfml-dev.org/documentation/)
* The community wiki (https://github.com/LaurentGomila/SFML/wiki/)
* The community forum (http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/) (or http://fr.sfml-dev.org/forums/ for french people)
