Sounds great!
I think you should be able to install the OpenGL package from
http://hedgehog.software.umn.edu:8888/hedgehogRC.html
in a non-Croquet image.

I would like to create something similar to the Damien's ImageForDevelopers but... ImageForGameDevelopers ;)
Packaged with the tools and tutorials to create simple games in Squeak (OpenGL and SDL bindings...).
I think that such image will attract more developers interested in game development. I think that e-toys are very powerful but not so attractive to teenagers who want to learn how to code games, so having a image with those tools makes sense to me :)
So I was looking for SDL bindings, I've found some mentions in the swiki and in the mail archive, but they seems outdated and I didn't found anything in Squeaksource or SqueakMap. So in my spare time I started an SDL binding using FFI (Andreas FFI is great :) thanks!!!). I didn't finish it yet but I could publish it "as is" into squeaksource.. so others can help me :)
I don't have a lot of time... but maybe if there are others interested we can create an "ImageForGameDevelopers" :)
(it's possible to load the OpenGL packages used in Croquet? how?)

Well, here a question to discuss
¿What do you think about use Squeak for make professional games? (with actual VM or possible future StrongTalk VM)
I'm not talking about something like MineSweeper or Solitarie. I'm talking about a game with good graphics to sell. MMORPG (Lineage 2, EntropiaUniverse, Life...), RTS (Starwars, Warcraft...), Turn-Based Games (UFO, Civilization....)
