[Bf-committers] Fw: blender as ui for game engine

[Arnaud Loonstra]

Hey Hewi,

I haven't been following your work since TableGUI but I hope your new 
work is very related.

I also hope your work will be C based (not C++ or related/higherlevel).
I'm not sure if it is useful but I would recommend looking at the 
zproject for example which helps you structure your C code into a class 
like approach but also automically generates bindings for most 
languages.

Rg,

Arnaud
