Re: Layered architecture - wrong direction !!!

OK, the direction of the message I am replying to seems very valid and
important.
HOWEVER, I failed to understand what was said in a useful way (i.e I know you
are
looking for an object oriented approact, but I don't really know what you want
us
to change).

So this reply is a call for clarification.

So evidently you are not talking about a lowish level "export some drawing
primitves"type 2d engine, you seem to be talking about a kit that is closer to
the application,
more games oriented.  What kinds of functionality are you talking about, and
how would
you like to see it done?
