That sounds good to me. I've not tried to integrate polling or timer-based events yet. I used the hash interface in the first version. It seems simple to start, but it exposes a lot of complexity to the user unnecessarily. SDL Parrot users shouldn't have to know that key up and key down events have subtypes, for example. Registering event handlers by subclassing a null object seems a lot cleaner. There could be better names for the handler methods though. -- c
