You might want to try these:

Hi, Rodger.

Yes, I know those. I tried Sly, but then realized it requires OpenGL, which is 
broken in the system I use (nvidia seems incompatible with free software). I 
haven't tried chickadee, but, if I remember correctly, it has the same 
requirement.

So I still need something that works without OpenGL, like Racket's universe 
module or Pygame :)
