?In the end, they all accomplish the same basic principle. Different languages and tools are often simply different perspectives on how to accomplish the same task. Unfortunately, seeing as I’m not part of the pre-release team, I don’t really know what classes Molehill even has. I am definitely looking forward to its release though! I hope it happens soon!

Molehill is really tough stuff.

They just let you define a View matrix, a Projection matrix, and a World matrix.
