I need a name
I need a name for a 3D engine I'm working on. At this moment it's called "project" and its a work in progress. I want to name it so I can refer to it easier. And so I get a cool feeling when I think of its name and get a motivation boost to work on it.
I like meaningful names and would prefer a name from some ancient mythology or history. In an old project I used the name "Delphi", which was the location of a greek oracle. However, since I don't think this project will bring much enlightenment, I don't feel it's fitting enough.
So GD, help me name this thing.

I sense you believe I was 'wittely' insulting your ego in some way but actually I was more refering to Fable's alpha name. Still I sort of expected you to take it the negative way har har.

Re: I need a name
Delphi is also already a program.
Call it Dave, Daves never provided much enlightenment.

If anyone ever doesn't understand why you did something the way you did it, refer to it as one of the Eleusinian Mysteries.

Re: I need a name
S/Inergy, or S.I.nergy, or some variation along that theme.
From "Synergy".
Def :-
synergy [sínnerji] (plural synergies) n
Also called synergism.
Combined effort being greater than parts: the working together of two or more things, people, or organizations, especially when the result is greater than the sum of their individual effects or capabilities.
[Mid-17th century. Via Latin from Greek sunergia , from sunergein ‘to work together’, from, ultimately, ergos ‘work’.]
You know I'm cool.
