Boost.Gil, SDL, and what does 'interleaved view' mean?

whoops, forgot about SDL_gfx. But would it take advanatage of the fact that they only need to be rotated in 90 degree increments?
To tell you the truth I don't know. You would have to look at the source code... |

designing a programming language for fun and learning

From the looks of it you want python but convert it over to static typing and use type inference. I would recommend you look at and or learn other languages before you make your own. Some of the languages I've learned a lot from are scheme, haskell,... |

You might try ika, it's basically an engine that uses python as a scripting language and there are a few rpg's that people have written for it, I'm sure you could write an rts with it as well. |

Game someGame;

I'm not sure what you are looking for exactly but if you just want to rotate SDL surfaces SDL_gfx would most likely be a better fit (see Rotozoomer). |

iPhone Poly Count Question

It really depends on how many character you will have on the screen and how close/detailed you want them. As far as I know there is no hard limit on the number of polygons but of course the more you have the slower your game will run.... |
