Welcome!<div><br></div><div>As you have observed, this list tends not to get much traffic. Most the traffic we do get is from David O&#39;Toole&#39;s <a href="http://lispgames.org/index.php/2011_January_Lispy_Game_Jam">occasional Lisp games competitions</a>.<br>
<br></div><div>I&#39;ve been slowly working away on <a href="http://code.google.com/p/blackthorn-engine/wiki/Thopter">Thopter</a>, and am hoping to do some sort of a release soonish. Depending on how much time I get, it might be a large or a small release. I just recently got commonqt/cl-smoke to work on my mac, so that may finally be an option for redoing the game&#39;s UI.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In other news, <a href="http://code.google.com/p/blackthorn-engine/">Blackthorn</a> (my game engine) is now available on <a href="http://www.quicklisp.org/">Quicklisp</a>. Quicklisp, in case you haven&#39;t heard of it, is definitely worth looking into. It makes getting new Lisp libraries super easy and almost obsoletes my <a href="http://code.google.com/p/blackthorn-engine/wiki/BlackthornStarterPack">Blackthorn Starter Pack</a> (modulo C libraries, which Quicklisp doesn&#39;t really handle yet).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, Clozure CL announced not too long ago that the upcoming 1.7 release will allow 32-bit binaries to run on 64-bit Windows. Right now this is only available in svn trunk, but for any of you who have (like me) been experiencing crashes in SBCL on 64-bit Windows, this might make it possible to make a Windows binary for your game again without resorting to commercial Lisp compilers.</div>
<div><br></div><div>That&#39;s about it on my end. Anyone else?</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 13, 2011 at 6:31 PM, Tyler Church <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:tylertrain@yahoo.com">tylertrain@yahoo.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I was quite happy when I found the wiki + this mailing list, it&#39;s nice to know that I&#39;m not the only one in existence that&#39;s making games with Lisp :) I&#39;m a bit sad that no one&#39;s posted here in a while, which is why I&#39;m writing.<br>

<br>
None of you have probably seen me before, so I suppose a little bio is in order.<br>
I&#39;m Tyler Church, I love to program.<br>
I make video tutorials: <a href="http://manwithcode.com" target="_blank">manwithcode.com</a><br>
I write code: <a href="http://github.com/tylerc" target="_blank">github.com/tylerc</a><br>
I keep a blog: <a href="http://rubygamedev.wordpress.com" target="_blank">rubygamedev.wordpress.com</a> (I haven&#39;t written in forever though, don&#39;t know if that&#39;ll change anytime soon)<br>
<br>
I&#39;m a Ruby and C/C++ guy (HTML and JavaScript sometimes too), and have slowly been becoming a Lisp guy. School &amp; Life demands have been keeping most of my projects from seeing the light of day, but the Lisp game I&#39;m making is coming along nicely, so hopefully that&#39;ll be online soon.<br>

<br>
Enough about me though, I really wanted to make sure everyone on this list is still alive :) . So, how is everyone? How&#39;re your projects going?<br>
