[lisp-game-dev] Greetings

Hell All, I'm new to the list, and I'm looking for an easy to work with 2d canvas library. What would everyone recommend? I'm using the lisp-in-a-box distribution, and I would prefer that it works with that (though I might be willing to try SBCL). Thanks, Jason

Welcome! Here are some libraries you might check out: http://www.xach.com/lisp/vecto/ <http://www.xach.com/lisp/vecto/>http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-cairo2/ <http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-cairo2/> http://code.google.com/p/lispbuilder/wiki/LispbuilderSDL <http://code.google.com/p/lispbuilder/wiki/LispbuilderSDL>With respect to Lisp distributions, I would highly suggest quicklisp ( http://www.quicklisp.org/). In general my impression has been that lisp-boxes are very poorly supported (probably because experienced Lispers don't use them), whereas quicklisp has a very active community (and has attracted many older Lispers). Hope that helps. On Sat, Apr 23, 2011 at 7:53 PM, Jason Burke <burkej71@gmail.com> wrote:

Oh, and also I should probably link the wiki, which might also provide useful resources: http://lispgames.org/ On Sat, Apr 23, 2011 at 8:26 PM, Elliott Slaughter < elliottslaughter@gmail.com> wrote:
