SpaceBar is still alive, even if there was no activity for
some time. (And till now the list was unused...)

Mh, SpaceBar itself is ( or I hope it will :) ) be an
engine too, but that should not prevent us from exchanging
our ideas or cooperating or something like that. ( I hope
I will get some time to look at your code in the next few
weeks. )

SpaceBar will focus at first on a scroll-down-arcade
genre. On the tech-side there will hopefully be: XML based
configuration, scripting (I haven't decided which
language) and transparent map/game-archives (like
quake-pak).

Now there is only some messy code (some mixture of c and
c++) that runs on Debian GNU/Linux (Woody) and on Win32
(cross-compilation with mingw32). It currently only
displays a moving bitmap so nothing fancy to look at (not
even on the tech-side). But if you want to, I imported it
in the CVS today.
