Mine too, to start with, probably best to stick with games and then move on
to working on GUI stuff once all there are a wealth of
graphics/sounds/control
commands.
Are you planning to support force-feedback and other devices like mice with
mouse-wheels? What about 3D stuff? Not sure if you have mentioned it on the
site, cant remember, but will there be a proper system for doing easy 3D
stuff?
Would that require a lot of work? Or would it just be a case of using
DirectX?
(I have no idea how far directx goes towards doing 3D, I`m guessing
it just controls all the rendering work?)
Personally, I think a good library system is important. There were some good
ideas in the blitz library system originally, but it always seemed a bit of
a bodge
to me. Limited library numbers does not help.

What is ASM like on the PC mark (to use I mean)? From what I`ve
seen and learnt about it. It looks EVIL compared to 68k ASM.
Is it as easy (pah) to work with?
