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
