This presentation, lasting just under an hour, invites you to discover the origins of the Christmas Game Evolution video game, based on the Gamolf FMX Game Starter Kit and Delphi Game Engine projects, which enable you to easily create (by coding in Object Pascal) multi-platform video games in Delphi using its FireMonkey framework.

Patrick Prémartin talks about the video game, the game engine on which it is based and its dependencies, the graphics, the music, and its division into scenes.

This session does not include coding, but you will see excerpts from the project's source code, demos of several utility software programs for Delphi developers (usable in any type of project, including database management) and video games.

If you are familiar with Pascal development in Delphi, you will feel right at home.
