I tested the new templating system by porting KiCHY's old Oxygene, game
that already ran on Win32 and Linux, which uses the sdlsprite.pas (
Sprite Engine ), and the only source code change I had to make was to
remove the *fullscreen* parameter when the window is created. Everything
else just compiled and ran once I had added the various bits to the project.
Here is a screen-shot...

Ok OpenGL is now also working. After looking at the gl.pp unit it was
clear that these units had not been updated to reflect the correct path
to libGL.dylib etc on Darwin. Once that was sorted out the Nehe 8 OpenGL
demo ran without any problems...
http://www.pascalgamedevelopment.com/jedi-sdl/images/Nehe8MacOSX.png
The 3D template project is now available from
http://www.pascalgamedevelopment.com/jedi-sdl/files/FPC%20JEDI-SDL%203D.zip
Now I will go back and read up on how to create a dmg file.

Hi Dominique
I'll try and find a couple of hours tomorrow to see if the stuff works on a
powerpc mac. I'll let you know how I get on.
Just skimming through the below I notice that you mentioned removing the
";fullscreen" parameter. Does that mean the code only works in a window or
that there was a problem in that particular piece of code with a redundant
passing of the parameter? - Just useful to know should my code start
crashing.

Hi Simon,
That would be great! I am currently in the process of putting
together a MacOS X Disk Image, which includes the full SDL and satelite
units as well as the 2 projects templates mentioned earlier. I hope to
have it finished by tomorrow so that I can get your laptop back to you
late next week or early the week after.
Dominique.
