I'd love to build a Steam game on Scala this after I finish my current project.  Though I am wondering why you chose to host on code.google.com and SVN. The core Scala community with the sole exception of ScalaTest runs on Github.  You are likely to get a lot more Scala contributors if you host yourself on Github.

Hey Chris,

From technical perspective I do like GIT much more than SVN, but switching at this point is not trivial.

At the moment the project needs enthusiastic contributors who are able to focus on a single feature and deliver it. And I would like to believe that revision system is not obstacle for serious developers ;)

Here are some self-contained features that are up for the taking:
 - Simple stuff: geometric shapes (sphere, torus, cone, dome, etc).
 - Fun stuff: particle system, easing functions.
 - Challenging sutff: intersection aglorithms, subdivision algorithms.

Cheers,
Lex
