Well, it's better than SeqLib.e, GFX.e and StrTok.e or some shit like that. I think if we wanna do something usefull with this project, we shouldn't all provide a sequence routine library or some lame shit like that. We could take advantage of this oppurtunity to actually code all those libraries we wanted for such a long time, but weren't able to code on our own. A multiplatform GUI would finally give our Euphoria programs a uniform look on all platforms. Maybe a LLama/Win32lib hybrid? And Mic and Jiri could spew out some fast 3D graphics rotuines so Euphoria games don't look like mode 13h Space Invaders clones. The games I saw in Euphoria were mostly clones from old arcade games. But that's not fair, since those arcade games were a few K in size and coded in ASM back in the 70s. Like this latest RPG is saw, what was it, you know, that RPG with the .bat file that points to something wrong, well, that's a 320*200*256 game written in a 32-Bit high performance programming language, with optimising compiler support. If it was a 160*144*256 game, it could be running on the damned Gameboy (in HighColor mode). When are we gonna see some Quake clones in Eu? The reason why we aren't seeing any right now, is because of a lack of multimedia libraries in Euphoria. C, for example, has access to OpenGL, Direct X, Allegro, etc. automagically. Just include a few files and you're set. Mike The Spike
