Is source code available anywhere? Also, I have to point out that programming for a garbage collected runtime is very different from doing manual memory management. The same patterns don't apply, and you optimize in different ways. For instance, when using a GC, it is very recommendable that you allocate up front and use object pooling - and most importantly, don't allocate at all during your render loop.
The sourcecode is not aviable yet, as it is in a repository of my university, but I can zip it and upload the current version if that is wanted. But it currently does only support Windows and does not have any setup instructions yet.
I do object pooling in both versions, as in game developement you usually don't allocate during the frame. But still in the GC version you have the problem that way to many parts of the language allocate and you don't event notice it when using the GC.
Just to clarify, I'm into 3d engine developement since about 7 years now. So I'm not a newcomer to the subject.
