'm not saying box2d isn't a good thing to have for LiveCode, I'm just
suggesting we shouldn't expect it to turn the platform into a gaming
powerhouse. :)

"Even in the article you linked, the author had to give up the convenience of
Objective-C and drop down to C++ to get that level of optimization."
Touché :-)
Btw, I'll give a shot to QT Creator; it looks interesting.
And I definitely, definitely have to learn writing externals.
Thank you Mark…
I wrote an extensive response to your original mail on this thread but sadly
lost it to rubbish Yahoo! webmail + the 15k limit on the list. (FWIW,
JavaScript is not 50 times slower than C++ but with modern JS engines like
Google's v8 more like 5 times + that amazing Citadel demo with the unreal
Yes, I'm aware of Box2D integration and I'm very excited about it.
I can't wait to see the possibilities.
But, I'm not sure how much performance boost it will give us.
I've stumbled on an article tonight about algorithm optimizations.
It's kind of a case study.

Well put, indeed.
I'm quite convinced about this.

Very well put.
There is a danger of getting distracted by these sorts of things.

Dear LiveCode Gurus, hello all...
As you know, Apple introduced a new framework named Sprite Kit targeting mainly
game developing, 2D of course.
It's quite promising and not just for games, either.
Particle systems and physics engine could serve business apps, too, with nice
