Gimme about 8 months, when I finish my Computer Graphics course here at
U of Waterloo!  Sounds like a truly neat idea!  Low-res graphics would
be ideal.  :)  I'd love to get my hands dirty with coding on the 
Apple II again.  I might need to scale down the raytracer I'm going to
(have to) write for the course, though.  :)

I'd be willing to write the graphics engine, and someone else can port
it to a IIgs (I no longer have access to my IIgs -- I had to sell it...
sniff) and would be writing the code on a IIe emulator.
