I found the URL you mentined helpful.  To answer your questions: I did
not mean to imply that I thought that TCL and OpenGL were the same, I
was just indicating which graphical 'bed' I want to use.

I was just going to develope for Win but just for fun am going to
create a cross-platform app.  I am working on a 3D game--not a graphic
intense first person shooter type game--but some 3D shapes will be
moving in space.

Following some links on your page seems to indicate that TCL is slower
than Python so it seems like I'll go with Python.
