I don't expect much from the machine, and have been around long enough to know a few tricks. I'm really only interested in 2D retro style games, such as I used to program in the early 1980s. I expect the prime will be capable enough for my needs.

I too enjoy programming on limited platforms where you are only limited by your imagination. E.g. '70s and '80s 8-bit systems. But those systems allow full freedom with assembly. PPL OTOH masks the power of the Prime as a generic platform, and for good reason I'm sure--most of us here are not the target audience for the Prime.

I look forward to your 2D retro games (and others). PPL will probably be fine for most. I esp. look forward to tricks as people publish them. I posted this earlier, but that is one thing I do like about PPL. All code will be open source.
