Delphi, Pascal and SCAR

[Shuttleu]

i had a look at some Delphi code and it looked exactly the same as the syntax that is used in SCAR
but i thought that SCAR used Pascal
is the syntax of Pascal and Delphi the same or not
if they aren't then which one does SCAR use?

delphi is written in pascal.

the actual scar made in delphi.

and scar uses pascal.

:)

i think i got that right... :P

i'm 90% sure delphi was NOT made with pascal. but scar and delphi both use pascal syntax.

I guess you can sorta say it is. Delphi is based off of Pascal.

SCAR uses Pascal Script, an Interpreter that has it's own Pascal Dialect.
Delphi is Pascal with Objects added.
SCAR is written in Delphi.

ahhh... ok
its just that the syntax looked exactly the same
and it confuzzled me

Basically it is the same, as Delphi (originally named Object Pascal) was Borlands version of an "updated" pascal.

[Richard]

Its the same as a lot of the OOPs having similar syntax, C, C#, C++, Java...

One word -> Hoi.

[Shuttleu]

so if i know how to script in scar then i basically know Delphi?

It's more like the other way around. If you know how to code in Delphi, you know how to script in SCAR. SCAR has a lot of limits compared to Delphi..

Might have something todo with the compiler..
