To be honest I never liked the sprockets system anyway..
The only thing out of that list that I think would be of any use is
CoreInput, the other
things already exist, they simply aren't all prepended with a word..
Do we really need
a word stuck on the front of everything? If something gets updated in
one API does
that mean an entire new CoreGames version is released? I wouldn't
have thought
branding was so important when it came to APIs..
I think a "CoreNetPlay" would be counter productive, there isn't
really a one fix network
code solution for games, to get good performance it really needs to
be tuned for that
particular game.. What's wrong with the Sockets library? Too low level?
The creation of some sort of "game API" would be a waste of time and
effort, what does
3D graphics have to do with Sound output? Why should they exist in a
single API?
