In case you discovered the wizards in my sketchbook, you may have wondered what they will be used for. The answer is, that I am currently coding a little game which is both my initiation into the SDL library and incredibly innovative.

It will feature a realtime battle between two (or more) wizards, connected via the magickal channels of the Internet. The motions of the user’s magic wand* will be recognized by the computer, and translated into magickal runes. These runes will then form spells which may be cast upon your foes, or strengthen your own body in combat. All graphics are rendered exclusively in the SVG vector format, which allows for the smoothest rotations and scaling on all screen sizes.

So much for now, and news at eleven. I wonder whether this might be at last one software project that I manage to bring to a stable state.
