I've been working a little on something similar during the last four years, but I am looking for a kind of fluxus (http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/) for games. You can see my code at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/gacela First versions were developed with GNU Common Lisp and C bindings for OpenGL and SDL but last year I discovered GNU Guile and Dynamic FFI. Actually, Gacela is a Guile module which uses Figl (http://gitorious.org/guile-figl); I am removing dependencies with SDL. But most of my efforts are spent on my eternal search betwwen simplicity, reusable code, proper functional style, i.e., a lot of programming design and procrastination. I'm trying to mix FRP techniques, entity systems, fluxus, yampas and more ideas in a maybe useless library but a very funny project for me. I tryed to port Gacela to the web too, and I developed an uncompleted Lisp-Javascript translator that uses canvas and SVG for displaying graphics. Very funny and instructive, too. In summary, a lot of work but few results. But I've had fun and learned a l= ot. -- Javier Sancho Fern=E1ndez - http://www.jsancho.org/ Associate Member of the Free Software Foundation - http://www.fsf.org/ Contra el DRM - http://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm
