A Forth specifically for windows, with an emphasis on graphics.

If you like your Forth in C this might be right up your street.

Looks interesting. How much effort would it be to get win4k running?
I looked at http://neoscientists.org/~tschwinger/tilt/ and there it says "DirectX required" - that tells me that I better should not start trying win4k to avoid frustration.

Would be nice to have example screenshot(s) showing graphic effects and how to modify live variables, to get a clue if it is worth trying.

Well, I'm running Windows 7. I just downloaded it, unzipped it, and
ran it. Then I followed the prompts on the screen to run the demo.

there are some different versions with openGL/DirectX
Make sure not to mix them.
This is a Demo-Scene site. Main point is code density.
