[kwlug-disc] Curv 0.0 is released

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Doug,

I like to echo what has been said about announcements to this list for
major releases and/or features.

My thinking is that this language and the objects it produces can be used
for many things:
- interactive touch screen morphing of shapes (another Tetris like
revolution),
- using a Wiimote or other remote sensor to control the shapes on a large
screen (or via projector),
- virtual reality headsets,
- mobile phone games.

It has lots of potential with some imagination.
