Oh my god. You have no idea how difficult the way I decided to do this was. Well, I mean, assuming we know each other you probably have some idea. #lispGames #McCLIM at least this yak is basically ready until, hey their hair grows pretty fast...

Pretty light evening mostly map designing, a bit of quest stuff in my notebook but no implementation yet.

Remember my stupid "make 3 labels" hack for shadowing text? I finally did it the sane way, & it looks better.

#lispgames #kawa #scheme #lisp #gamedev

Got a little guy going in between different level maps now. Haven't drawn anything in the other maps, but they're linked up by scripted events.

Very small amount of UI, & very deliberately like an Atari 8-bit, graphics over little text window.

#lispgames #kawa #scheme #lisp #gamedev

Got a frame up & basic game world loading.

Just reusing my Kawa Scheme guiframe (but greatly enhanced) from last year's SchemeOTron, & a Kenney tileset I was playing with.

Maps won't be random, it's a static RPG. I generate them in my Chez "basicez" maze tool, then have to strip out some junk, & then I can add a few more scripty features. It's *VERY* much simpler than Mystic Dungeon on the Cyberhole.

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

A good beginner example.

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

Any jam participants planning to attend 39C3? - Autumn Lisp Game Jam 2025 community

Asking on behalf of Alexander Shendi who is trying to form a Lisp gathering at the 39th Chaos Computer Club and was wondering if anyone wanted to talk about their experience making games with Lisp. De

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/ .
