It was a grueling day in #sphere as Hatchet and I discovered the ideal design for the Sphere script system. :) Even though it was painful, we have created a much simpler way of doing everything.

The Sphere packaging system is finally coming along too... Originally we had Darklich's spk code, but you couldn't run a game directly out of a package file. Then I wrote a .tar.gz package system, but reading from the package was too slow. Then I wrote a .zip package system, but with the library I was using, you could only read one file at at time. So finally, I wrote something very similar to .zip. It's very simple too. All in all, with the next release you'll be able to double-click on a downloaded Sphere package and run it directly (assuming you have Sphere installed).
