Is strange they only accept english or portuguese code? Do brazil people forget they are in America, where most people talk spanish? They forget all the  the neighboring countries of brazil speak spanish? :o

The use of Portuguese language refers to the fact that people that will look at the code speak Portuguese, beyond speaking English. But if you think this is an unfair bias, we can examine the possibility of limiting to English.

No, you dont understand my point, i think the opposite. I think must be fair to add spanish. ::)

Lazarus is all about avoid limitations.  ;)

Well, any brazilian person thinks that speaks Spanish, but the problem is to actually understand what is written.

Anyway, comments sections are not required to the code and if it is written in a language we can not understand it will be simply ignored..

What about games written simultaneously in Delphi6 and Lazarus?

Write ONCE compile anywhere. What is the purpose of writing a code double in Delphi and Lazarus?

You can convert your code via Lazarus conversion tools and send it to us. The main purpose of this Contest is to encourage the use of Lazarus to develop games. If the code is not compilable by FPC, it is not a Lazarus code. A good chance for you to make the conversion.

I write and debug in Delphi and compile in Lazarus and Delphi.
As Delphi has far better debug capabilities.

Try getting Lazarus to give you a simple stringlist.count value in debugger!

And it only gets worse.

Multi-platform code will have precedence over single-platform code.
