It's nice to see I won't have to write a whole game engine alone ;)

I'll begin with it in early january, and have not planned to take too much
time for it. In fact, my plan is to make a game, waste's edge style, but
the goal is to promote the esperanto language, by including some basis of it
in the story, and have the player learn a bit to be able to understand what's
going on in the game.

I probably will help a bit. I know C/C++ well, and Python very well (I'm doing
my diploma work in Python).
