Hi,

Sorry for responding so late.
When I said I was interested, I didn't know about your mail on
chicken-hackers about choosing C++ and maybe Ogre. So, I'm still
interested in a 3D engine but I won't do C++ now.

For securing a vm, you might want to have a look at E Right. I think
it's based on the jvm but adds strong security related mechanisms (not
just distribution).
Concerning Chicken, would it be sufficient to provide a limited
environment (the sandbox egg) ?

Cheers,
thu
