Hey everyone, in this article I walked through what I am asking you to do to coauthor my #lispgamejam #gameDev #NicCLIM game ("map"). Of course, I just need the sexp file from you (and image tiles?) which you can make in your own way as well. Ideally, you will have an #itchio account.

Please coauthor my #lispGameJam with me by making an s-expression 'map' file in the last 50 hours of the jam!

#gameDev #commonLisp #McCLIM #NicCLIM #devlog

Since I finished adding game-esque features to my NicCLIM map editor, the article veers into making a map with impassable walls and an example images/text radio popup that happens when you walk over it.

I left off pictures since pictures are just symbols with a :bitmap property. Read the article, help me make it!

#lispGameJam #devlog #commonlisp #McCLIM my #NicCLIM game map editor now pops up a radio selection for interactive events.

This article implements the command for that. It is included in my nicclim.lisp on #itchio now.

#gamedev #devlog #retrospective #programming #GOTO #commonLisp #McCLIM my #NicCLIM and the #lispGameJam first several days.

I wrote a few thousand words. https://screwlisp.small-web.org/fundamental/a-prog-feature/ The title is

Lisp’s prog feature - tagbody-go and my antifunctional game devlog tootcoding exploration

but it seems hard to summarize.

In the context of the above two, this was all the coding for today's jam. It looks repetitive, but it is all basically dense information I think slash hope.

#tootCoding ^ #commonLisp #NicCLIM

;; «🚪» (to “.🚪”)
`(lambda
(&rest r)
(execute-frame-command
*application-frame*
'(com-change-map ,*)))

Creates a lambda expression in which the active McCLIM application-frame executes com-change-map to whatever the last repl result was.

#tootCoding (read my jam articles about the experiment) #commonLisp #NicCLIM

;; «🎭» (to “.🎭”)

(setf (get ** :bitmap) *)

i.e. it sets the :bitmap property of the second-last arguement to the last arguement.

#commonLisp #programming #McCLIM #gamedev #devlog #itchio using my own #NicCLIM map editor.

I guess the checklist I wrote before is now

1. Make a map, as above ✓
2. Fill in subrectangles of a map with another map ✓
3. Pop up some pictures and dialog using CLIM’s accepting-values
4. Use a door in the map to enter another map ✓
5. picturize the map symbols ✓

though there are clearly a few teething / #gameJam -ing pains. #lispGameJam . What do you think?

#tootCoding #commonLisp #NicCLIM
This toot operates on the lisp REPL's last two results: receiving
'(file1 file2 fileout)
'(1 3 2 4)
it copies file1 to fileout, except for rows from 1 below 3 and columns from 2 below 4, the results are taken from the top left of file2. This goes with an extract-rect function/command from NicCLIM, which is why you on't specify the region to take inside file2. It did the (ROCK CAVERN) in the rock.

# «‡» (to ".‡")
```
(append ** *)
(apply 'clobber-rect *)
