, I do hope when Iambian finishes CaDan that he continues working oN Celtic III. It would suck if Celtic died, since xLIB death was one of the reason why Celtic started

But don't expect new updates before CaDan release, as from what he said he isn't planning to work on Celtic until his shooter is done

well I was talking about during the days Celtic II was released and III in the works. At that time xLIB was pretty much dead. Iambian was starting a new app, but we were not in favor of a competition with xLIB when Celtic barely even offered half of the xLIB function and the fact we would have needed to rewrite entire games if we wanted to make them Celtic III compatible, so Iambian decided to have all backwards compatibility with xLIB app and finally he decided by himself to also add Omnicalc Sprite( compatibility. However, lately tr1p1ea has been doing the same thing than Iambian in the early Celtic III days, he has started a totally new flash APP adding function to BASIC programmer, basically a new xLIB. The new app won't include functions from the old one. However we've been poking him around to convince him to chain the app with Celtic III. xLIB 2 would offer much more advanced stuff (maybe even Raycasting/Mode 7?), but it would be a shame if programmers wouldn't be even able to use the old functions from either Celtic III or xLIB 1 when xLIB 2 was installed. This is why I think they should be chained. Backward compatibility would be pretty much impossible, though, unless it was made a 32 KB flash app, because as much as Celtici III is much more optimized than xLIB to fit 2x more stuff into the same space, there are limits
