Going Beyond the Basics: Delphi, Refactoring, & Updating Logic
In the third part of our Text Adventure Engine series, we’re moving past the initial proof-of-concept. To build a truly robust engine, the foundation needs reworking now to ensure it remains 100% compatible with both Delphi and Free Pascal (Lazarus). I’ve laid out my roadmap for the next steps, but I want to hear from you. Watch the refactor, look at the logic, and let me know what we should at in the next video.
