Learn Pascal
Learn Pascal - Final Words

This concludes my informal course in Pascal. Optional assignment -- program a checkers game (known in British English as draughts) in Pascal for two players. This program should check for illegal moves and should also force jumps when possible (that's in the the official rules of checkers -- if you can make a jump, you must make a jump). For a further challenge, add an option for computer play.

If you will be writing DOS programs which need mouse support, here is mouse support code. This was written as a Turbo Pascal unit. If you will be writing Windows or Macintosh programs, this unit will not be necessary since those operating systems have their own mouse support routines.

If you're using Free Pascal, you may want to look at the units page to find units written by other people that you may find useful in your own programs.

If you'd like to learn more about Pascal, you can go to The Open Directory's Pascal Tutorials category. This has links to several more tutorials which may teach other topics that are not covered in Learn Pascal.

Good luck in your future Pascal endeavors!
