They're all a bit too alike. I think they limit the user too much. That said, some generic routines would be useful. At the moment Horde only has about 50 functions so it shouldn't be too hard to use. The routines in the demo could be used as the starting point for a simple game I think. There are also a lot of 3D models, textures etc on the web which could be used in a freeware game. To make a complex game will require some effects to be built into the engine I think. Particles are coming. Unlike Morfit, Horde isn't a game system, so a physics engine will probably be needed (Newton and ODE both look possible from Euphoria.) Mark
