Compile and Edit OLD Software Written in Delphi 5 + Create Installer -- 3
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I'm seeking a skilled developer in ancient Delphi 5 to help me modify and compile an old Delphi 5 multiplayer go game CLIENT, originally created by my father who passed away recently.
The tasks involve:
Code Modification (goclient01.zip):
- Edit MainFrm.pas: Change where it is "else if comidx = 3" and set comclientsocket.address to twgonet.duckdns.org instead of the current fixed IP. Hopefully it should work with a dynamic DNS. If not, you may need to make it work.
Compilation:
- Compile the Delphi 5 code to generate a functional twgo.exe. I tried it myself and discovered many errors upon attempting to compile.
Installer Creation:
- Package the executable into an installer. You may need to examine the old installer (twgo_originalinstaller.zip) to ensure registry additions are included. It should run on OS from Win XP to Win 11 as it did previously. If you could quickly teach me to do this myself that would be a plus.
Requirements:
- Proficiency in Delphi 5 and familiarity with Windows XP and installer creation.
