[squeak-dev] Balloon3D - dead or alive?

Over the weekend I had a go at building the B3DAccelerator plugin for the Pi (with all sorts of fun in the process) and eventually got something that compiled, linked and appeared to have built.

To test it I tried to load the Balloon3D package but the one accessible in SqueakMap is *ancient* and although I did manage to get it installed with lots of hackery, and the basic rotating cube *did* finally run with no hardware acceleration, an attempt to swap to using hardware failed. 
So far as I can work out we’re not routinely building the ‘Squeak3D’ plugin anymore? Is anyone still caring for the B3D stuff? The latest SM version is over 10 years old :-O

Is there somewhere other than SM I might find an up to date version - or indeed anything else that would test the B3DAcceleratorPlugin?

A computer program does what you tell it to do, not what you want it to do.
