I also finished a suitable logo, a sort of earth's core/pac man kind of feel:
In the mean time feel free to look over the online documentation (still needs to be revised for spelling and such but the meat is all there).
Core Library Preliminary Documentation
To those of you who showed interest in using it, I'd like to have some test candidates, if you could get in touch with me via AIM SN: EtherealDarknes (one s is intentional) or MSN: rmanpres@hotmail.com we can talk about usage of the library.
And check this out, a simple script able text adventure engine (with lots of room to grow), using the core library for state management, game loop, save/load and scripting.

Ide be willing to purchase it! Would it come with source code?
