Actually i'm a developer in the SDL4FreePascal project, which as the name sugest, is a port of SDL headers to FreePascal. So far they work good and we will realease a new version soon.
http://sdl4fp.sourceforge.net/ Aditionally to SDL, we are also porting other useful libraries like SDL_Image and SDL_ttf. We could port SDL_Net too if there's interest. I'm myself creating a game in FreePascal, but there's nothing to show yet. And there's already some good games written in FreePascal, just have to look a little hard. It would be cool if we could create a comunity of game creation in [Free]Pascal. Hoping to see your FPC games soon.
