Re: Turbo Pascal

Forget it.

Pascal is a teaching language essentially and is not at all ideal for games
development.  Most games use C/C++ and Assembler for the parts that require
very fast processing. Good luck, but it's time to take a deep breath and
learn C/C++, then learn how to use OpenGL or Direct3D. Then you'll be in a
much stronger position to make a game.

Seems you're jumping in at the deep end making an RPG, in the warcraft
mould, anyway!!! Set your sights a bit lower.
