Heh, even Amiga Inc. negotiated with Sharp it's support on their Zaurus PDAs. Have you seen their games? Simple ones, but probably nice. So what about creating Rebol games suite? :-) Hmm, we should add games category into library definitely. We currently have: Rebtris, several card games, Sokoban, simple chess game, Ryan is soon gonna announce another game ;-), Jeff has his unfinished strategy game ... we need one shoot 'em up one :-) Have you seen following? http://riks.jotto.no/riksjotto.html I AM sure Cyphre will bring some game to Rebol, IF: - RT frees sound capabilities ... - View engine gets a little bit updated - draw capabilities are good, just stopped 5 min before midnight (as I remember what Holger said was planned) - rotation effect is added - whatever (e.g. convolve for various new fast effects - heh, my favorite one broken record :-)) But even nowadays, some games can be brought to Rebol. I think it will help even /Express, as ppl at companies like to play sometimes too ;-) .... Cheers, -pekr-
