Re: [Adonthell-devel] Paragui

[ksterker]

Hi Joel,

I had already downloaded Kyra a while ago to have a closer look, but didn't 
find time for that yet. But I agree that it might be what we want.

Regarding paragui, I'd also say we should use it to shorten development time. 
Adding python bindings won't be difficult with SWIG, should none exist yet.

However, I would still like to keep the gfx abstraction layer. We might go 
without it for the next release, but in the long run I think we should make use 
of it.

Another suggestion, if we need a nice 2D engine we can take a look at 
http://www.grinninglizard.com/kyra/engine.html . As you can see on this web 
page it's based on SDL and we can use paragui and kyra without problem. Kyra 
has Python binding too. So it can be a solution, just my 2 cents ...
