==== Description: ====
Our project, Role Playing Game Engine, RPGE for short, will be an engine for
2-dimensional graphical role playing games. Its primary aim is to make the
engine as generic as possible, using a scripting language to extend, control,
change and regulate its behavior. 

Secondarily, we intend to support as many platforms as possible, even though
I personally only test on GNU/Linux. We do this by using exclusively free
software dependencies, like Simple DirectMedia Layer for graphics, control etc
and either Guile or Python (the debate's still ongoing) as our scripting
language.

On the nitty-gritty details side, RPGE uses pretty much sprite-based graphics
in a simple tile grid and it will probably support sprite animation
internally, using a specific format for its sprites. 

Until recently, RPGE was implemented in C++ using libsdl and having undergone
several scripting language experiments, of which using libguile was the most
succesful. However, we have decided to rewrite RPGE from the ground up in C,
which is why we have no code to show right now.
