[Chicken-users] game C++ doability

[Brandon J. Van Every]

Initially I ignored a lot of C++ game projects on Sourceforge because I 
do not have a sense of Chicken's C++ capabilities.  Let's say one has a 
very big, very complicated game project written mostly in C++.  Is 
interfacing Chicken to such a project going to be readily doable, or is 
it going to be painful?  Two different scenarios:

- Chicken by itself
- Chicken using SWIG

I'm really leery of the SWIG route.  My previous experience with SWIG is 
its output is quite bloated, unreadable, slow, and many developers hate 
it.  I don't know about Chicken's SWIG output specifically.  SWIG was 
originally designed for interpreted languages where performance isn't 
much of an issue, and it shows.

I'm just wondering if for practical purposes, for getting things done 
expediently, if I should Trash all C++ projects I'm looking at on 
Sourceforge.
