Dear schemers,
One may say I'am bizzare, but I try to make 3D engine embedded into
Guile system. Such kind of program needs high degree of modularity,
extensibility and wise configuration, while modern HW T&L cards can
deliver vast FPS despite CPU's ugly mess (like scripting engine in main
loop:). So I would be pleased to read some success/horror stories
concerning similar guile projects etc.
Another thing: is it OK to use u-vectors as 3D/4D coordinates, or I need
to introduce special smobs, or simply use lists? Many aspects of guile
are, er, not especialy well documented, including array access.
With best regards,
Anton.

the guile projects page:
http://www.glug.org/projects/
has guileGL and SART, and i seem to recall guile-sdl (actually two
implementations?) which wrap(s) libsdl.

see guile-xlib for an example of "uniform arrays" usage in the context
of spatial coordinates. what documentation have you looked at?
generally, it's OK to do anything, and, to do anything is OK. if you
want to do better than OK, however, you need to find principles and
practices that indicate some quality gradient, and push/pull entropy w/
some discrimination. what do you mean by "wise configuration"?
