IrrDelphi (Irrlicht183, irrKlang130b) Delphi\Pascal headers

Post by IrrDelphi »

Hi all :mrgreen:
I write headers for use Irrlicht and irrKlang in delphi without wrappers.

Supported platform: x86, x64
Supported os: Windows

IrrDelphi
Current version 0.05 (26.01.16):
  • 26.01.16:
    / BIG update after 5 years!
    + Support Irrlicht 1.8.3 (compiled in gcc 4.6.1)
    + This version used library compiled in gcc, so "thiscall" emulator not needed (and in general it gives a great binary compatibility)
    + Ported a lot of missing structures, classes and etc..
    + Now can use "Irrlicht.IReferenceCounted" methods "grab\drop" and have access to virtual parent class "IReferenceCounted"
    * Some bugs fixed.. some added)
    * No memory leaks in examples
    * Ported from cpp examples:
    e01_HelloWorld - EDT_SOFTWARE replaced on EDT_DIRECT3D9, because we have division by zero exception in core irrlicht
    e02_07_16_Quake3Map - mix from original examples: 02.Quake3Map + 07.Collision + 16.Quake3MapShader
    e03_CustomSceneNode
    e04_Movement
    e05_UserInterface
    e06_2DGraphics
    e07_Collision
    e08_SpecialFX
    e10_Shaders - don't use high level shaders
    e11_PerPixelLighting
    e12_TerrainRendering
    e13_RenderToTexture
    e14_Win32Window
    e15_LoadIrrFile
    e18_SplitScreen
    e19_MouseAndJoystick - joystick code is not tested properly
    e20_ManagedLights
    e21_Quake3Explorer - is bad example and untested properly
    e23_SMeshHandling

I just took a quick look at it, but porting IrrDelphi to other platforms except Windows seems would seem quite difficult. Linux might work if you replace all stdcall; with cdecl; and delete all references to windows.pas. Mac OS X is definitely a no-go at the moment, since assembler calls are not (correctly) supported on Intel machines and don't get me started on PowerPC architecture. ;)

Under which license are you publishing your work?

How about merging you efforts into IrrlichtPas? There is OOP branch in the SVN repository which would be perfect for your solution.

remove win reference it easy, and i think dont need replace stdcall with cdecl

A dont think about PowerPC =)

My license ~= Irrlicht license =)

What for?

It's nice to see Irrlicht ported to Delphi. Have used that language for many years, but am currently totally out of it. Nice work nevertheless.

Awesome ! Your method for direct interoperation between Delphi and c++ is incredible. I've never seen anything like it.
Do you create pascal headers manually ?, or maybe (semi-) automatic (parser / code generator ) ?

Thanks, but now method works with C++ VS only.. maybe later i add support gcc.

Yes i use automatic convertor, but not for all (IrrMacro, IrrConst, half IrrTypes)

Hi IrrDelphi,

Which is the automatic convertor? Can you share?

Thanks in advance

Thanks ! It's impressive. Currently, it is the only complete and up to date solution to use Irrlicht with Delphi/Pascal.
Examples still working with dll 1.7.1 so probably interface is unchanged.
I hope that in future you will still continue this excellent work... In the past I tried to use some wrappers (IrrPascal, Irr4Delphi, etc.),
but authors have lost interest in their further updating.

If you had some free time, sometime - maybe you could create a similar header to the IrrKlang library ?

My free time = irrDelphi updating :D

I think it's because Delphi not popular for 3d programming :(

Ok, but some later :wink:

Hi IrrDelphi!

I’ve compiled your last examples with Delphi 2010. The only change that was need – replacement in Irrlicht_17.pas from PChar to PAnsiChar (because in D2009-D2010 PChar is PWideChar).

Excellent job!
