Can anyone recommend a programming language for the Mac that would be 
especially well suited for writing one's own arcade/simulation games?
In particular, access to the Mac QuickDraw routines should be quick
and easy.

I'm curious because I just acquired a two-page display and
every action game I have (e.g. Ferrari, Falcon etc.) sends all its
graphics to a dinky little window the size of the original Mac 9"
monitor.  This seems like a terrible waste of a big screen so I thought
I might just try writing something of my own.

Many thanks in advance!
