Hi everyone,

We're proud to announce the release of Castle Game Engine 5.0.0 :) Castle Game Engine is an open-source (LGPL) 3D and 2D game engine, of course for modern Object Pascal (FreePascal / Lazarus). We support many 3D formats and various graphic effects. The main engine site, with detailed list of features, links to downloads and documentation, is on

  http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/engine.php

The main feature of 5.0.0 release is the support for Android and iOS (iPhone, iPad) platforms. We use OpenGLES 2.0 renderer underneath, and our engine can render on Android/iOS almost the same things as on normal desktop systems :) Thousand thanks go the FPC team for making it all possible.

Other new engine features include nice 2D API (although the engine started as a 3D engine, it's very comfortable now to make pure 2D games too) and new font reading and rendering (using FreeType).

Check out also "Darkest Before the Dawn" http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/darkest_before_dawn.php , our first game done for Android :)

The details about new engine features are on http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/news.php?id=2014-05-01 .

There is also a wiki page documenting Android specifics: https://sourceforge.net/p/castle-engine/wiki/Android%20development/ and iOS specifics: http://sourceforge.net/p/castle-engine/wiki/iOS%20Development/ .

Engine usage tutorial is on http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/tutorial_intro.php and API reference is on http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/apidoc/html/index.html .

Have fun!
Michalis
