Hey Serdar, That sounds like a pretty cool project. I have a few questions if you don't mind sharing: 1. How are you packaging the standalone interpreter, and is there any chance for Linux and Mac support? 2. Secondly, what are the chances for a PyPy version? (I've recently become interested in PyPy again now that they're working on 3.5 support).
I'm also very interested in your pyd versions of the Sprite and draw modules (Cython I guess, from the pyd extention?). I've been looking over the VertexDomain classes recently (due to some work with creating an OrderedDomain), and thinking that there might be some small performance tweaks that could be done. I'm curious on what you've done, if anything besides the Cython type stuff. -Ben On Tuesday, December 27, 2016 at 11:13:56 AM UTC+9, Serdar Yegulalp wrote: > > Some of you might be familiar with LÖVE 2D, a game creation toolkit that > uses Lua and SDL2.
