Re: Game::PerlInvaders

Awesome! A few things. A new cpan distro is going to appear. Moreover  
we have a roadmap plan now and on of the things on it are a parrot  
parser so that users will not have to compile sdl bindings and our  
work will carry over into perl6.
If you can mention this that would be great!
P.S. One of my personal goal is to have a game library better than  
pygame. So contact me when you start work
