My Christmas list is divided to 2 sections a) What I want from you b) What I am going to deliver *What I want from you* ------------------------------------ The things I want from Pharo are centered on the high priorities a) 64 bit version b) Bloc /SDL c) FFI documentation / stabilization Its fine if you deliver after christmas or even a year later, I am in no hurry. *What I am going to deliver ( Unreal 4 for Pharo)* ------------------------------------ Because previously I wanted to target the iOS and Android markets for my games, I could not included Pharo in my plans because both iOS and Android demands a single executable and no DLLs . However I discovered that as a market Steam alone is as large , so I will be targeting Steam instead since my games are more suited for PC (strategy / adventure / rpg) anyway. Windows and Macos will be my focus. This means I can now use Pharo with Unreal (One also big reason to choose Steam and drop iOS and Android) , which further means that around Christmas Ephestos v1 most likely will be released which will allow for Pharo to be used as a scripting engine for Unreal for people who want to create games or other kind of interactive graphics / multimedia. But I make no promises because I am still learning Unreal , however because already my socket bridge worked well for using python libraries from Pharo, I will do something similar for Unreal too. In long term I am considering also a Pharo to C++ transpiler but that is a low priority for now. Essentially Ephestos will be the basis upon which I will be building my commercial games so its a very long term project.

Hi
We have some ideas (because people are working on items) for the Pharo 6 roadmap
and we will consolidate them soon and propose them to you.
but I would like to know two kinds of points
- what are the points you are working on and that would deserve more focus and help from the community?
(these points are important because like that you could go faster and this is a good feeling to get done for example)
- what would be points where (if magically we would get more resources - to not dream if this is not you
there is a high chance that we will not make it) it would be nice to get some changes
Please pay attention that if you type too fast and come up with a christmas list well it will stay a christmas list and will just make the thread larger for nothing.
