Recommended 2D Sprite engine for a Delphi board game?

Question

Which are the choices I should look into for a Delphi sprite engine.

I am aware of

GLScene
Andorra 2D

anything else I am missing?

It is best if it relies on OpenGL. DirectX only solutions are not very welcome.

Found a nice article on the topic at http://delphihaters.blogspot.com/2009/10/delphi-playing-games.html — Gad D Lord, Mar 07 '11 at 13:58
An excellent podcast on Pascal Game Development with lots of links to Pascal/Delphi game development engines: http://delphi.org/2011/10/pascal-game-development/ — Gad D Lord, Jan 05 '12 at 00:53

Take a look at Asphyre. It's a 2D/3D Delphi framework that can use OpenGL, DirectX 7, DirectX 9 backends.

Yeah, I made the D2010 port some time ago. Should run under XE as well. – Uwe Raabe Feb 20 '11 at 22:51
I started playing with Asphyre 4.1 a couple of weeks ago, it's pretty impressive, having greatfun with it so far. – HMcG Feb 21 '11 at 22:49

Some libraries for 2D graphics, I'm not sure if they are what you're looking for, but here we go:

AggPas is port of Anti-Grain geometry library: http://www.crossgl.com/aggpas/

Graphics32 is all around graphics library: http://graphics32.org/wiki/Main/Graphics32

GR32_Lines is based on Graphics32: http://angusj.com/delphi/gr32_lines.php

There's also UnDelpiX, Hadron (was PyroGine), Phoenix, and others. Have a look at the forums at PascalGameDevelopment, there a forum for pretty much all of them.

Is there an english version on the website concerning OpenGL 2D Engine? I think both links would be more valuable if it's available. – ForceMagic Oct 11 '12 at 19:56
I do not speak English. If there is anyone help me with a translation guide - will be very grateful. – Demi Oct 18 '12 at 13:11

For the record: maybe oldschool but still vastly used for game development is x-platform SimpleDirectMedia Library. Is also has Pascal headers for it.
