Hi,

I finally tried them.

They're all great. I really like subflower graphically, but was also
nicely surprised by infestival, the idea of just "outlining" paths is
just great!

Yep, that's true. Note that LW6 "scales" rather well in windowed mode.

I'm not sure I undestand your idea.

Interesting, I need to think about this.

Yes. My opinion is that being able to be multilingual is worth the
sacrifice of not using a too fancy font.

> How about winning screen? And how should the cursers look?
Cursors will, I think, consist of a "geometric shape". Possibly in 3D.
The idea is player red is square, green is triangle, yellow is circle,
and so on. I think shapes are already defined somewhere in the code,
I'll dig and tell you. I do this for I *really want* that one can "plug"
a graphical engine - the way you plug a graphical renderer on top of
Gnome and/or KDE to power your theme - so I need some sort of
abstraction to say "graphical engine must render X or Y, how it does
that I don't care". Shapes are a good bet I think.

Have a nice day,

Christian.
