Hello all,

I just got started with plan9.  I discovered purely by accident and was quite intrigued.  I'm a programmer (C, C++, Python) and I'm thinking of deving a small game for plan9.  I'm a highschool and University student at the moment (a product of my local university's accelerated entry and program and my programming knowledge).  In both highschool and university m course load, starting this September, will be relatively low.  On top of this I will still be taking the grade 12 programmer course.  This gives me a bunch of time to dev whatever I want and I was thinking of doing another game.  I have a couple of questions. 

Are the current libraries sufficient for making an action game on plan9?  I've been using SDL/Pygame for ages and haven't gone as low level as I may have to here.  Also, where should I be looking for documentation?

How do I shutdown?  I tried my usual too linux commands (halt, shutdown) but to no avail.  I also noticed reboot did reboot the computer but rebooting and then cutting the power mid memory check doesn't seem like the best solution.


Thanks all!
Mr. Norm S
