I watched a bit of endparen streaming CLIM/SDL work this morning, & talked about Lisp Game Jam, but I think it's a little early to try to distribute ECL+CLIM & hope it'd run on anything but one machine.

Kawa being an old version doesn't affect it producing JVM code that works pretty well everywhere.

@dougmerritt I did consider making a sprite editor because I don't have sprites for it yet, but I hate writing painting code.

Right now I'm just making a little fake-terminal-BBS called "Doors" & I'll see if I do something smarter.

FUCK YEAH GRID OF X!

Mostly I shouted at Oracle's docs site a lot & then figured out how to trick Java into giving me useful information.

(unless %font-render-ctx
(set! %font-render-ctx g2d:font-render-context)
)
…100 lines later…
(fbounds ::Rectangle2D (font:get-string-bounds "W" %font-render-ctx))

I hate fonts in Java so fucking much I'm'a stab everyone who ever worked on anything but monospace fonts & made those impossible to render trivially.

Also now have it do a modem squeal on "connection" (Audio in Java! Used to be easy & fun, but Oracle made it suck!!!), but to verify some of the behaviors I want, I'm gonna rewatch BBS Colon The Documentary Colon The MP4 Colon The Jason Scott Production Colon Mark doesn't find this naming style risible at all no.
