screwlispTrivial memory cardgame in the #commonLisp #repl . (Er, using #McCLIM presentations).

A good beginner example.
As I reveal in the thrilling conclusion

this small post is a step on the way to using xhtmlambda to generate a kitten webgame soon.

#lispGames #lispGameJam @dthompson 's forum post calling for @alexshendi 's conference thing in late dec. https://itch.io/jam/autumn-lisp-game-jam-2025/topic/5551073/any-jam-participants-planning-to-attend-39c3
another thought I am interested in @kentpitman 's opinion about might be (re)invigorating, for example, #lispGameJam or #lispGames otherwise. This autumn there were only 20-odd one-week-game-jam submissions and only one in ANSI #commonLisp. Looking at the Tiobe index, lisp as such slid from #2 ("most popular")) in 1985 to #24 "more popular than COBOL" in 2025 https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ .
Also nearly time for the Autumn Lisp Game Jam 2025:

In which I will make my dumbest possible mini-MUD as a way to avoid dealing with database sysadmin work.
Sorry I've been AWOL.

Since I am encouraging all #lisp people into #itchio #gamedev space (#lispgames !) I uploaded a #mcclim Map Editor tool so that I wasn't just-saying-things.
It's kind of cool but definitely exploratory.
I hope there can be even more commonlisp and *specifically* Common Lisp Interface Manager applications in itch.io. I guess the tags "common lisp", "common lisp interface manager" and "mcclim" should start to track.
Thoughts, criticisms, welcome.

in which I write a "map editor" that's just the McCLIM formatting-table macro like it says on the back of the box.
(Dynamically resizing rows and columns of) symbols for now, I'll do images (named by the symbols) later.

I also briefly describe c. 2005 LAN parties in the context of WC3 being where I first heard the words "map editor" decades before I knew about computers.

Sorry about all the sharpsigns. Also, I have no idea what chat I should try and look at.

Plant Insect Bird practical formal ontology with Leonardo calculus
I revisit my #lispgames #gamejam #gamedev. In this article I create a formal ontology to be a vehicle for my concrete game redux of the jam (which had been lacklustre if technically interesting. Let's be technically interesting and have more lustre this time round.
Thoughts, commentary, ontological guidance gentle and stern if you will please.

I added a gui to my Hurkle vintage game. Kinda burned out today. Anyway, you can see it working.
#article Shows how McCLIM declaratively and orthogonally generates graphical interface windows for an existing underlying game-logic class.
With some apologies to @jackdaniel @mdhughes .
