New utility to remove but not immediately. This is great if you need to remove some from children list, but you also iterate over the children list right now. We no longer use windres utility, instead we generate Windows resources in memory using FPC’s units from fcl-res package. Our build tool now uses fcl-res units …

With our 20th collaboration, the libGDX Jam continues the time honoured tradition of making awesome games using the best framework out there. We encourage camaraderie, teamwork, and good sportsmanship with a side of well-intentioned buffoonery. The general jam rules can as always be found here.

Long time ago, we had to disable optimizations with FPC on Aarch64 (64-bit Arm) as they were too unstable. But were happy to revert this 🙂 With FPC >= 3.2.2, optimizations on Aarch64 work flawlessly, and so we enable them. This affects Android, iOS and macOS Silicon targets. The optimizations will remain disabled if the …

A number of such fixes have been queued in the two months sinc…

A small convenience when writing float values: you can input an expression, like pi, pi / 2 or 2/3 instead of typing the actual value (3.14…, 1.57…, 0.6666….). Any expression using CastleScript is allowed. This is nice e.g. for angles for which we use radians (consistent with X3D, OpenGL, many other APIs). So you have …
