Taken from the web site:
If( t3d_environment_IS_TOYOTA_n_LEXUS)
{
    t3d_open_ROOF_WINDOW();
}
else
{
    t3d_write_CONSOLE("Not a Toyota LEXUS");
}

.... this gonna be in your standard library?
But I think I understand this programming language! If I want to create a 
game, I'd write:

do
{
t3d_start_game_DOOM4 (ENVIRONMENT_USE_1600X1280);
t3d_show_score();
} while (t3d_environment_IS_NOT_PRESSED_YET(QUIT_BUTTON));

with the added bonus that the last line can also read:
.... }while (t3d_environment_???_???_????????_?????(QUIT_BUTTON));

.... and then bother someone else to write the huge library function 
't3d_start_game_DOOM4' for me!

I fail to see t3d in this list. Maybe because it took longer than 23.57 sec 
to run? Dropped entirely out of the list? <grin>

Please do.
