Re: [cl-opengl-devel] cl-opengl-devel Digest, Vol 50, Issue 2
{Apologies to the group for top-posting} It looks like a substantial application. It was built using Common Lisp and OpenGL. Now you know it can be done. Isn't that sufficient? -Luke On Apr 9, 2011, at 9:00, "cl-opengl-devel-request@common-lisp.net" <cl-opengl-devel-request@common-lisp.net> wrote:

The most substantial app I'm aware of is Perfectstorm: <http://erleuchtet.org/2008/03/project-overview-perfectstorm.html>. However it might not build with a recent cl-opengl.
The SVN repository given in that blog entry appears to be dead. Do you know of some other way to obtain the source? I suspect this project is no more. The blog says, "But beware! the current state is not that presentable: you’ll just see pathfinding debug output at the moment. When a first dummy is playable and the code is cleaned up a bit we’ll make a project page." Google doesn't reveal any such page.

To be honest I can't evaluate that from a few screenshots. Some people are more savvy about making screenshots early and often than others.

I really wouldn't know what was actually done... except that the author just pointed me at the last source code distro, so now I can check. :-) http://erleuchtet.org/~cupe/perfectstorm-dist.tar.gz
Isn't that sufficient?
Compared to my original questions, I really don't think so. It proves that the author got started in that direction, not that he finished, or that people generally do finish and sustain such projects. He did say, however, that he did something substantial with cl-opengl for a medical engineering visualization job. Someone else was responsible for packaging up the Windows .exe. So "yes," someone has done it, which is a good thing to know. I just can't look at those results. Cheers, Brandon Van Every
