I’m proud to publicly show two articles I recently wrote to teach Castle Game Engine<\/i>!<\/p>\n

They assume zero initial knowledge and they show the most important pieces of our engine. As such, I highly recommend reading these articles, whether you’re a newcomer or an experienced developer familiar with the engine. Read them here:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n Part 1: Castle Game Engine installation, editor, designing a 3D world, views, testing physics.<\/a> (PDF version: 22 pages<\/a>)<\/p>\n
  2. \n

    Part 2: Coding using Pascal and Castle Game Engine API, behaviors, selection and hover, reusing a design of a 3D object.<\/a> (PDF version: 33 pages<\/a>)\n<\/ol>\n

    The articles guide you through creation of a simple fun application — the titular “bad way to play chess”<\/i>. If you want to play a ready game, download and install it from here (ready binaries for Linux and Windows)<\/a>. If you want to get the source code, clone the GitHub repository at https:\/\/github.com\/castle-engine\/bad-chess\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    All the techniques shown in the article are recommended ways to use the engine, they are proven to be comfortable and flexible for a wide range of games, and we work on keeping them optimal. The article and examples are suitable for both FPC and Delphi developers.<\/p>\n

    The articles have already been published in the Blaise Pascal Magazine<\/a>. Also our supporters on Patreon<\/a> have received an early preview of both articles. If you like our engine and these articles, we really appreciate if you can support us on Patreon<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
