HSPTV! is the official portal for the HSP3 (Hot Soup Processor) programming language, operated by ONION software. It is not a standalone cloud-based development tool, but rather a resource hub centered around HSP3, offering entry points for language introductions, download lists, beginner materials, related books, plugins/tools, GitHub Repository, community bulletin boards, user services, and programming contests.
Based on the crawled content, HSP3 is mainly aimed at lightweight programs, games, screensavers, tools, and introductory 3D game development. The site focuses on serving beginners and educational users, with recommended books covering HSP3.6, 3Dish, Easy3D, HGIMG3, and more, as well as game programming textbooks for elementary and middle school students. On the community side, SoupSeed allows users to share programs and homepage URLs created by HSP users, while programming contests and bulletin boards strengthen user interaction and help preserve submitted works.
The text does not clearly state the price, license, open-source or closed-source status of HSP3 itself, nor does it provide commercial licensing information. The introductory books listed on the website are sold through Amazon, but this does not mean the language or toolchain itself is paid. As for APIs/SDKs, there is also no clear description; it can only be confirmed that there are entry points for plugins, tools, and GitHub Repository.
The advantages are that official resources are centralized, beginner-friendly, clearly education-oriented, and supported by many years of community accumulation and contest mechanisms. For those who want to quickly create small games, simple tools, or learn basic programming, HSP3 has a clear positioning. The drawbacks are that the page content is mainly in Japanese, and the crawled text contains a fair amount of garbled encoding; it also lacks information commonly needed by modern developers for evaluation, such as licensing, maintenance cadence, API documentation, package management, CI/CD integration, and commercial support.
It is suitable for Japanese-speaking users, programming beginners, students, educators, and individual developers who want to use HSP3 to create lightweight games or small applications. It is less suitable for teams that require a cross-language ecosystem, enterprise-level collaboration, long-term commercial support, or clear open-source compliance information.
The crawled text does not make it possible to determine accessibility from mainland China, so it is currently marked as unknown. For actual use, it is recommended to verify the accessibility of the official website, GitHub Repository, and Amazon book pages as well.
