 :summary "Official release of Guile-2D Version 0.1"

 (p [To celebrate the GNU Project's 30th anniversary, I have decided
to make the very first release of my 2D game development framework for
,(anchor [GNU Guile] "http://gnu.org/software/guile").
GNU Guile is a Scheme implementation, and has the honor of being the
official extension language of the GNU project.  Guile-2D is a layer
above SDL, OpenGL, FreeImage, and FTGL that provides abstractions for
common 2D game programming requirements such as sprites, tilesets,
animations, scripting, and collision detection.])

 (p [There is a lot of work to do in order to get Guile-2D up to snuff
with the game libraries for more popular languages like Python and
Lua.  I am looking for contributors who share my vision of creating a
fully featured, easy to use game library in Scheme.])

 (p [Guile-2D currently supports GNU/Linux distributions.  I am
looking for help to get it running on OS X and Windows.])

 (p [Please refer to the ,(code [INSTALL.org]), ,(code [README.org]),
and texinfo files to learn how to install Guile-2D, run example
programs, and write your own games.])
