Isometric 2D (serious) games develoment on Squeak/Pharo

> Long time without being here, so is nice to be back. For my last

> The idea is that each player lives in a post-apocalyptic world where
> you need to re-create the world. For that you live in a bio-nano-tech
> "farm-lab" where you can create plants, animals, and other stuff and
> test how it works in a mini-ecosystem to prototype that possible word.
> You work off-line in your own farm-lab, but you can go on-line and
> trade designs with other players to create a shared world or make test
> with their stuff from/in their farms-labs. The game will be free
> software so people can create their own variations and is intended as
> a serious game[1] where you can play just for fun but also learn and
> work with other people solving real problems using games and simulation.
