Game development toolkit for Guile Scheme with SDL2 and OpenGL

Chickadee is a game development toolkit for Guile Scheme built on top of SDL2 and OpenGL. Chickadee aims to provide all the features that parenthetically inclined game developers need to make 2D (and eventually 3D) games in Scheme, such as:

extensible, fixed-timestep game loop
OpenGL-based rendering engine
keyboard, mouse, controller input
REPL-driven development model
