Hey everyone. New video on Delphi and anti-patterns. Check it out here - youtu.be/odMKirJ2pnE

Before installing that next component — pause. There may be hidden costs that aren't obvious. I walk through 9 things to check first, using Indy as a real world example. #Pascal #Delphi #FreePascal 🔗 youtu.be/QjhJf037lZw

In this session, the text adventure proof-of-concept become a little more robust and 100% compatible with both Delphi and Free Pascal - refactoring. messy if-blocks into command tables and starting an auto-complete function. youtu.be/etPCfNwR4KQ #ModernPascal #Delphi #FreePascal #GameDev

Dropped my text adventure engine—originally built "elsewhere" (hehe)—straight into the Delphi IDE on Windows. Result? It builds with almost zero friction. Doesn't work for every project, but for a core engine? A win is a win. #ModernPascal #Delphi #Coding #SoftwareEngineering

Moving the Silver Engine from static arrays to a class-based DTO architecture for inventory management. Plus, an update to the Parser... filtering noise words! youtu.be/mf01EsRae6M?... #ObjectPascal #GameDev #SoftwareArchitecture #SilverPascalCoder #Generics #CleanCode

Building a text adventure in Modern Pascal. In the latest video, we start an engine from the ground up using the MVC pattern to separate world state from the interface. Watch here: youtu.be/G7KZPpkAc1s #ModernPascal #SoftwareArchitecture #CleanCode #GameDev

Is your expertise rented... or do you own it? ☕️ I’m benching the AI. No safety nets. Just raw Modern Pascal in the terminal. If the Wi-Fi dies, I still want to be able to ship. youtu.be/HKPvj_pYWF0?... #ObjectPascal #Vim #NoAI #SoftwareArchitecture #SilverPascal

Just pushed v1.1.0 of my Snake project to GitHub. 🐍 New features: * High score persistence * Fruit timers (eat it or lose it) * 'Sick' movement debuffs Read more here - github.com/silverpascal... #gamedev #indiedev #Pascal #buildinpublic

Spent a few hours re-wrapping a "missing" #libsodium function, only to find the official Pascal overload was there the whole time. Lesson learned: Windows Explorer is a terrible code search tool. Trust the IDE, not the OS. Full story: youtu.be/AXlP0V0_jao #ObjectPascal #Programming

Ever find a C function with a binding but no high-level wrapper? In the next video, we’re looking at libsodium to show exactly how to bridge that gap... using C libraries directly from Modern Pascal. #ObjectPascal #Lazarus #Delphi #ModernPascal #Libsodium

If you have been following the gui version of the snake game... a high score list has been added (this week). See you in the next video! Project Source: github.com/silverpascal... Original Video: youtu.be/MQamUn-I-bc

The graphical Snake build is alive — sprites, clean movement, and a tiny asset manager keeping it all tidy. Retro joy with modern Pascal! #pascal #delphi #lazarus #gamedev #retrogamedev #pixelart #sprites #snakegame #coding #programming #indiedev youtu.be/MQamUn-I-bc

Just uploaded a small, retro project: building a Snake game in Free Pascal using ncurses. A simple, fun break from the heavier topics lately. youtu.be/eA_6y-2CFgc #pascal #freepascal #fpc #gamedev #terminalgames #retroprogramming #codingprojects #linuxdev

What can be learnt from the 2010 flash crash? Sometime "correct" code isn't enough and how we can use defensive argument checking in Pascal to build systems that actually survive chaos... youtu.be/MGxkGurrpxw

A review (/reflection) for building a database app with #FreePascal & #LazarusIDE, features include search, sorting, CSV export, and #HeidiSQL. Video Coming ... timcoatesinsights.wordpress.com/2025/09/07/e... #LearnToCode #Programming #PascalProgramming #SQLite #OpenSource #DatabaseApp

Sorting a DBGrid in Lazarus should (!) be easy... (a) write code or (b) just add a component and avoid writing code. Done it before. But it turned into a much bigger experiment! youtu.be/BN9i9TR6mxc #FreePascal #Lazarus #PascalProgramming #DBGrid #DatabaseApps

What to do when the documentation for the components you use are somewhat lacking? In this video we look at this issue with the CSV exporter. youtu.be/8N8-m4uIP1c #freepascal #documentation #opensource #learnpascal
