Also, during this +experimental phase of development, this will be a test bed for all the +GUI stuff. Eventually lots of it will be split off to separate +programs. + +Extantz is a made up word. The challenge was to find a word beginning +with E, is as traditional with EFL (Enlightenment Foundation Library) +projects, that has not been done to death, and thus has some reasonable +chance to turn up in google searches. It also helps if it somehow or +other reflects what the project actually is. lol + +Extant means "still existing, surviving", or the more archaic meaning, +from it's original Latin roots "standing out, be visible, exist". + +Extent means "an area or volume, the range over which a thing extends" +among other things. + +So I hope to invoke thoughts of a volume that exists and stands out. In +other words, virtual worlds. Meh, I'm not that artsy, it needed a name. +lol + +Extantz will handle all the 3D rendering. The other parts can use nails +to control the world that is rendered, and GuiLua to present their UI +on top of the rendered world. -- cgit v1.1
