I'm listening!

I have to say, I've been somewhat taken aback by the enthusiasm for
Squirtle. The original release (all of two months ago) was really just
me putting out some code I'd been playing with, so that people could
have a go at using it in Pyweek. It's evolved a bit since then, but I
still see it as pretty much a toy project.

That said, I am still working on it, and certainly think that some of
the suggestions that have been made will be filtering into new
releases over the coming weeks and months. Certainly, a tighter
coupling with Pyglet's excellent, if slightly arcane, system of groups
and batches would be a great idea, and it's one I'm going to look into
when next I have some time to work on it.

On the other hand, ideas like integrating fully into Pyglet, I think
are largely pipe dreams. Squirtle is very much currently in flux, and
while it's reasonably stable for inclusion of a single version in
projects, it's not really stable enough from an API perspective to be
merged into a backwards and forwards compatible library, and nor would
I wish it to be so right now. I'm still very much playing with the
interface.

The point about a formal project page is well taken, and I'll do
something about that over the next few days. I am somewhat bemused by
the idea of "packaging up" Squirtle - it's currently a single .py
file. How much more packaged do you want it?

Anyway, thanks again for your interest in the project, and please
don't take my skepticism the wrong way. I really am interested in what
users would like from Squirtle.

Martin
