In this beginner‑friendly tutorial, we’ll show you step by step how to install Lazarus IDE and the Free Pascal Compiler (FPC) on a Linux laptop (we’re using Fedora). Lazarus is a free, open‑source visual programming tool, and together with Castle Game Engine (CGE), it lets you create fast, standalone desktop games and apps. If you’ve already: * Built games in Python with Pygame * Designed websites with JavaScript, HTML and CSS * Explored AI with Python * Object design in Blender …this video is your next level! You’ll learn how to set up a compiled programming environment and get ready to code games that run lightning fast. By the end of this video, you’ll have: * Uninstalled old versions of Lazarus (if needed) * Downloaded the latest Lazarus and Free Pascal RPMs for Fedora * Installed the required packages and GTK dependencies * Configured Lazarus to look and feel like VS Code * Created your first “Hello World” Pascal program This tutorial is perfect for kids, beginners, and anyone curious about learning Object Pascal, Lazarus, or Castle Game Engine. Follow along to get your environment set up for our upcoming Pascal + CGE game development series! ⏱️ Video Chapters 00:00 Lazarus Install 00:50 Uninstalling Old Versions of Free Pascal 01:26 Download Free Pascal & Lazarus 02:20 Install Free Pascal & Lazarus 03:08 Configuring Lazarus 05:24 Write/Compile First Pascal Program 🔗 Stay Tuned Next video: writing simple Pascal command‑line programs and comparing them to Python & JavaScript so you can see the syntax differences in action. 🏷️ Tags #LazarusIDE #FreePascal #CastleGameEngine #OpenWiseLearning #PascalProgramming #GameDevelopment #STEMEducation #LinuxTutorial #FedoraLinux #BeginnerProgramming #KidsCoding
