It's possible to develop on Windows too, but it won't be as simple as
firing up Visual Studio and hacking away. See
http://adonthell.berlios.de/doc/index.php/Development:MSYS/MinGW or
http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/adonthell/README.Win32?revision=1.6&root=adonthell&view=markup
for the details.

If you want, I could possibly upload my environment somewhere, which
would at least save you from having to install all the libs required
by Adonthell.

That's the simpler solution of course, as it doesn't take long to get
all the dependencies together.

I have something in mind, but there is no task description available
yet. I can put something together once I am home from work.

In the meantime, you could browse the API
(http://adonthell.berlios.de/api/) or look at the Architecture
documentation (http://adonthell.berlios.de/doc/index.php/Architecture:Contents)
to get at least a basic overview of the engine and its current state.
