Thanks. > I would not call it "most exciting development" for anyone but is definitely for me Generally the plans for my project Ephestos for 2017 are 1) To create an Unreal API for Pharo 2) To create a Blender API for Pharo 3) To create a Supercollider API for Pharo Unreal is the most powerful game/graphics engine. Blender is the most powerful 3d editor. Supercollider is the most powerful live coding music and audio synthesis platform. I have developed the foundation for all three , the only thing remaining know is to wrap their APIs for Pharo. So by end of 2017 Pharo will have received a massive boost to its 2d and 3d graphics capabilities and music and audio synthesis capabilities. Supercollider part is not a high priority goal as the other two, but I think I can squeeze it through. Low priority goals and less exciting for me are 1) improvements to Nireas expanding its customisability, recreating the GUI , improving the blue theme and offer multiple other themes too 2) a tool that unifies workspace, system browser and inspector under one roof. I have not tested yet grafoscopio in detail, so it may form the basis for this tool 3) further contributions to Pharo By Example and possibly other books
