I mostly lurk here, but I can't let this pass.  Whatever reasons there are 
for switching to SDL, Tcl/Tk is not ipso facto messy.  I've worked on projects 
with hundreds of thousands of lines of Tcl/Tk and they were well structured, 
readable and debuggable.  Good software engineering discipline means you can 
write good code anywhere, but you can write messy, undebuggable unreadable 
code in any language.  Please don't blame the language for the faults of the 
coders.

(And I'm not saying that the xconq Tcl interface is messy, either.  I've not 
examined it carefully; I just love to play the game.)
