I think there is some examples in the proposal too.

Yes, I understand you! It would be a programming language based on and
according to the LCD. It would be LMPL - LDraw Model Programming Language.
How about that? :)

But, I think we need to work out fine the LCD itself. And now we can keep it
in mind the LCD must be prepared to be a base to LMPL. Hm, sounds great,
isn't it?

(...) I think the idea of having an LMPL separate from the LCD is definitely a good idea. Not everyone is going to want to do animation or whatnot - I know that I'm personally more interested in just having a good way to connect the parts together. (...) (25 years ago, 7-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
