Your projects sound neat!

For question #1, the assembler is built-in to the Gambit compiler (gsc).  A sample use can be found in this message to the Gambit list : https://mercure.iro.umontreal.ca/pipermail/gambit-list/2012-January/005593.html .

For question #2, just about any C compiler will do, but I recomment mingw which has the advantage of being free and it is the compiler which generates the fastest code.  See http://www.mingw.org .

For question #3, there is a binding for Cairo on the dumping grounds.  See http://dynamo.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/wiki/index.php/Dumping_Grounds .

A image of the 3D aspect of the 4D object is shown, with the lines receding towards a vanishing point. The perspective can be rotated around any of the 4 axis. My intention is to make the REPL available to the user similar to Logo.
