*cough* learn C/C++ *cough*


Aaaanyway... There are no sources beacuse no-one has made them.

(well, thats kinda obvious )

C++ gives you the full speed and flexibility of the graphics libraries. I believe both OGL and DX are targetted at C++.

This prety much means you need some sort of typelib for some other language to hook into these libraries.

C++ gives you the thinest layer to these tools and also gives you full access to their data types.

I do mock-ups in VB, but there are certain parts not exposed through the typelib. Plus, I''m not big on directly modifying data bytes with VB, you have a lot of overhead to do simple bit operations. Which kills your speed.

Finally, modern C++ compilers make it real easy to hook in Asm. No matter how fast you get your code, you can always speed it up by going to the source. One of the big advantages to C++ is access to that generated code. I don''t know about Delphi, but VB goes straight from source to binary, no access to the asm code.

The flexibility and speed of C++ is just so much higher than anything else. That is why.

Now, if you just want to do pong. Delphi will be fine.. if you can find a typelib, otherwise you''re going to have to create one yourself... not a fun way to learn a library.
