Scrupp is a cross-platform 2D engine which uses SDL and OpenGL for visualization. It is controlled by external Lua scripts. The core supports various image, sound, music and font formats. The hard work is done by plugins written in Lua.
Networking and sockets in scripting languages is difficult and often overcomplicated! Monasic is a server daemon (service) which does all the low level work to create a simple message-based environment, allowing easy access to networking via scripts.
