[Lazarus] Castle Game Engine 5.0.0 release

[Michalis Kamburelis]

Hi everyone,

We're proud to announce the release of Castle Game Engine 5.0.0 :) 
Castle Game Engine is an open-source (LGPL) 3D and 2D game engine, of 
course for modern Object Pascal (FreePascal / Lazarus). We support many 
3D formats and various graphic effects. The main engine site, with 
detailed list of features, links to downloads and documentation, is on

   http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/engine.php

The main feature of 5.0.0 release is the support for Android and iOS 
(iPhone, iPad) platforms. We use OpenGLES 2.0 renderer underneath, and 
our engine can render on Android/iOS almost the same things as on normal 
desktop systems :) Thousand thanks go the FPC team for making it all 
possible.

Other new engine features include nice 2D API (although the engine 
started as a 3D engine, it's very comfortable now to make pure 2D games 
too) and new font reading and rendering (using FreeType).

Check out also "Darkest Before the Dawn"
