Functionnality check Age?

I just reinstalled Blender and PyPRP from scratch (at work :oops: ), since I hadn't done that in a while I was wondering whether I had done it correctly. As I was about to setup a test Age to export I suddenly remembered the 'FunctionnalityCheck' Age... Remember that one? Ithink it might be great to have it again, or something similar.

With the release of the Max plugin many people asked for an example Age. And I realized we don't even have that in Blender.. :? That would be very useful for many people.. (ideally we could also do a Max version, but one thing at a time) Also we could include it with PyPRP if it's not too big (or at least provide a link in the 'Install PyPRP' wiki page).
Obviously PyPRP has many more features now than it had at the time of that Age (circa 2007); but even then it could be a fairly simple project. We only need to list the current PyPRP features and have a basic implementation of each one in the Age. If we are going with very basic assets, the most work would be in the Alcscript-ing. It might look a bit long, but it's pretty straightforward work, and with someone skilled with Alcscript I think it could be completed pretty quickly..

Maybe we can use an existing age (or ages) that have a number of features? For example, you could try exporting the AnimatedDoor that Nadnerb created and made available. That has subworlds, clickable objects, animations, lighting, etc.
