Hi John! This is great! I would love to play around with this.
I tried to smack something together in the days when I was playing with CHICKEN on Android. It's probably not very useful, but I though I'd mention it anyhow: https://github.com/Adellica/chicken-sdl2/blob/master/sdl2.scm. It's true what the readme says: it's very alpha. K.
