GameVision™ Game Toolkit for Delphi is an advanced 2-D game development system for PCs running Microsoft Windows® and uses Direct3D® for hardware accelerated rendering. According to the developer, “It’s robust, designed for easy use, and suitable for making all types of 2-D games and other graphic simulations. You access the features from a simple and intuitive procedural API to allow you to rapidly and efficiently develop your graphics simulations. There is support for buffers, bitmaps, audio samples, streaming music, video playback, loading resources directly from a standard zip archive, and much more.”
