That's really great to hear, thank you. I'm actually not entirely sure whether we'll be using SDL's rendering or OpenGL. At this point we just have a lot of notes on what we're trying to do, and want to pick an engine/implementation language to do it. Myself, I'm pushing a bit for Common Lisp.
Sorry to reply to myself, but it looks like we may end up using OpenGL for rendering so I just had a quick question about that. So, glancing over the archives I take it the best way to do OpenGL rendering is to use cl-opengl? I found the example from the mailing list a couple of months ago, and it still seems to work just fine. I'm just checking what the recommendations are.
