I expect to share ideas. Don’t be too offended by my competitiveness. . .

I don’t see it that way. I think they can complement each other quite well. Having support for a full 2D game engine from within a 3D game, and vice versa, allows for some cool interactions. To see this sort of thing in practice, you can look at what people are doing with Torque Game Builder and the Torque Game Engine from GarageGames.

The goals for my library also align up with yours as well. The only thing I lack for my library is time and manpower, but I’d say with my limited resources I’ve managed to already meet about 45% of the features smoothie would have.

All 2D libraries are going to share similar functionality. The big difference comes in the interface. I’m not out to compete with anybody, I just want to stretch my D legs with a useful project. Once I get it into a usable state, I’ll be happy to compare notes with you and see what comes of it.

Maybe we can team up and work on making one very good 2d library suite. I will eventually get around to tile mapping code and other semi-generic game specific features as well.

Of course, if you don’t that is fine as well, just some friendly competition.

Good luck.
