I've been doing some guerilla hacking on zowie. Starting from the SDL and Cairo bindings for Chicken, I added some makeshift protocols for building and rendering scenegraphs, then classes representing some graphical primitives and a camera. A small bit of fooling around with events and we can zoom in and out on a simple scene with transparent, filled and stroked rectangles and text.

The next step is to add an MVC layer; the views I am (perhaps cheekily) calling 'zorphs'. Soon I should have input event handling, damage reporting, and the other basic stuff I need to for user interaction. Go the hacking!
