Hello,
I noticed this meetup
> **[Login to Meetup | Meetup](https://www.meetup.com/fr-FR/London-Julia-User-Group/events/268884739/)**

> Our next meetup, at short notice (sorry!), will be at the Alan Turing Institute premises, within the iconic British Library building, on Monday the 24th of February. We haven’t had a metup for a while, so this is a good opportunity to regroup, and discuss the state of the Julia ecosystem.
>
> Additionally, Avik Sengupta will show his work-in-progress library to simplify game development in Julia. Inspired by the python library of the same name, GameZero.jl is based on the SDL media framework, and aims to be a zero overhead gaming library that is particularly suited for young programmers.

> We will end the evening with some potential lightning talks and shoutouts (please contact the organisers if you have something to say)
>
> We will start at 6PM, and end by 8PM.
but couldn’t find any information here about GameZero.jl (which seems to be inspired of [Pygame Zero](https://pygame-zero.readthedocs.io/))
I’m wondering what is current status of this project.
Is there a repository publicly available?
Ping @avik
Kind regards

Hi Sebastian,
Well, it was meant to be a secret 🙂
In reality, this is a work-in-progress. The session in the London meetup was mostly a discussion around the design choices, and a demo of a very early prototype.
I’m not sure when it’ll be ready to release, hopefully soon. Keep an eye on GitHub, and given the interest, we’ll announce it here. There’ll hopefully be a JuliaCon talk.
Regards
Avik
