Well, I started off in July wanting to do a rewrite of <a href="http://code.google.com/p/blackthorn-engine/wiki/BunnySlayer">Bunny Slayer</a>, but that didn&#39;t really get off the ground. Instead, I ended up working some libraries and did some general cleanup.<div>
<br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Blackthorn Starter Pack</span></div><div><br></div><div>One of my goals for a long time has been to make it as easy as possible to compile and run my game from source. As a step in that direction, I created the Blackthorn Starter Pack, which is basically a tarball with all the libraries you need plus a little glue to make things work. See the wiki link for more information and downloads.<br clear="all">

<div><br></div><div>For fun I&#39;ve been working on Escalator, which is yet another experimental object system for Common Lisp. Escalator is inspired by <a href="http://t-machine.org/index.php/2007/09/03/entity-systems-are-the-future-of-mmog-development-part-1/">this blog post on Entity Systems</a>, which are supposedly used in the MMO industry. Escalator is my attempt to provide idiomatic support for Entity Systems in Common Lisp as a high-performance alternative to CLOS.</div>
