Have you tried Hypergiant for CHICKEN scheme? I've heard it's good for 3d work. For 2d, there's doodle. Both are in Chicken's egg repository. Guile's Sly is also quite good for 2d work. Finally, I think both have bindings to raw OpenGL/SDL, if you want them.

Yes, I tried. Problem is I am really trying to walk the line between Windows, Linux and possibly Mac. I run Elementary OS, and Windows 8.1 on one notebook, and Win 8.1 on the other. Like PicoLisp Chicken is really Posix-dependent. Sure you can run it, and run the IUP examples on Windows, but as soon as you try to use the eggs you mention, the dependencies on the Posix stuff puts it on the backburner for me. Right now, my game dev tools are Raylib(C)[1], Godot game engine[2], Processing(Java)[3], and CL(SBCL, SDL). All allow me to distribute games to Windows and Linux minimum. A few can do almost all platforms - Android, iOS(if you have a Mac!). I still think Racket is an excellent playground to test concepts, and short of distributing games, valid for most anything. Pict3D package is very interesting. Raylib is amazing. I have had a C renaissance because of it. Very clean and organized. I am currently trying to embed s7(Scheme)[4] into a Raylib project in hopes of having my cake and eat it too! Another playground for livecoding, but no way to share standalone 'apps' is Extempore, as I have mentioned previously.

  Ah, yes. Cross-platform is quite painful at times. But hey, I'm glad you found something that works. You might also wish to try Chibi for embedding, but both it and s7 are pretty good. I am also unsure as to how POSIX dependant chibi is.
