When did you start using RAD Studio/Delphi and have long have you been using it?
I have been using Delphi since 2017, but have been programming in Pascal for over 30 years. I almost always used Embarcadero development tools (first Borland then Inprise).
What was it like building software before you had RAD Studio/Delphi?
Previously I developed only for the Windows platform, now thanks to Delphi I can create applications for all the major existing platforms.
How did RAD Studio/Delphi help you create your showcase application?
Delphi allowed me to speed up the porting process to the Android platform with minimal effort.
What made RAD Studio/Delphi stand out from other options?
For me the “Object Pascal” language is extremely easy to use as well as very powerful. As a result, the development speed is significantly faster than with other development tools.
What made you happiest about working with RAD Studio/Delphi?
Working with Delphi is a lot of fun, and it gives me a lot of satisfaction.
What have you been able to achieve through using RAD Studio/Delphi to create your showcase application?
I managed to get a good chess engine (adapted for my game), and a good GUI on both platforms (android and windows).
What are some future plans for your showcase application?
I am developing another video game soon. Thank you for your insights, Giuliano! You will find the showcase entry for his application below
