Hello everyone!

This is a bit off-topic but I thought it may interest some of you!
A few weeks ago I got interested in making simple 'clicky' games that could
be played on Android, mostly for my daughter. After looking around, I found
LibGDX for Java, which runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, web...

Of course, at one point I got fed up with Java and decided to look for a
tiny Smalltalk that I could embed inside my game, to save me the trouble of
writing Java code. And I found the software mentioned in the topic. Most of
you have probably heard of at least the first one.

Long story short, I mixed SmallWorld, SmallWorld 2007 and Athena, fixed a
couple of bugs, hacked enough support it to allow me to rewrite in
Smalltalk the demo game I had written in Java, added some classes and
convenience methods, and finally found what I consider to be a cool name
for all of it: Gossip :)

Here are some links:

Feel free to yell at me or whatever :D

Cheers,
