[cadcdev-tiki] [Tiki-win32] What i need for my project...

[kidchaos en h. <kid...@ho...>]

Hi again,

 Ok, now that I have a brief idea of the tiki environment, im going to list 
the resources that we need for the development of our project (its a shmup 
codenamed U3D), as i told before, the alpha demo was developed under 
windows/directx9, but after some mettings with my partner, we have decided 
to export the project to an open-source environment, I liked the Tiki 
environment (more than SDL cross-plattform independency) and i expect that 
testing on DC/KOS would be easy... i would appreciatte any comment about 
supporting the following on Tiki and on KOS, regarding to the game engine 
(from the gamasutra article "Enginuity") which is almost finished:

 - C++, STL(std:lists and  std:maps), templates (for singletons) and 
functionoids (for event handlers)? It should be ok as everything is 
standard...
 - Smart pointer support  (like Tiki::refcnt, but with automatic 
deallocation), seems ok...
 - Threading: I dont want to use for now, but i saw that Tiki is 
multithreaded,...I think it doesnt matter for now...
 - File system support, does it work on a linux method (relative path 
support for '//' and '\\')? Does it maps ok to the dreamcast?
 - XML support? My project is using libexpat, but i saw that Kos has libxml 
(do they work with callbacks?), so maybe i will have to make some changes 
there...
 - OpenGL: Right now my project is fully Directx9, so i will have to change 
everything, the support for wrapper classes Tiki:vector3 and Tiki:matrix 
seems fine to me...
 - Trigger-event handler input and event management, seems it works ok...
 - Lua: Already ported on Kos, Hope its not hard to port to tiki...
 - jpg/png: support, Great!
 - Ogg support, i think is enough...
 - What about Mesh imports from Blender/3Dstudio?
 - Forget anything important?

 I will appreciatte any comments, or problem regarding any of these subjects 
from any experienced developer :-) ...

 Regards
