Hi all,

I'm making games with lisp, and have been lurking here for a while and thought I should probably say hello.

I'm one of the authors of fluxus, a scheme (racket lang) based 3D game engine for rapid prototyping and livecoding: http://www.pawfal.org/fluxus/

I've used it to create a lot of stuff, this is probably one of the more complex projects I've done: http://www.pawfal.org/dave/index.cgi?Projects/Plant%20Eyes

Last year I worked on a facebook game called "Naked on Pluto" (a critical art-game about social networking) where we wrote all the server code in scheme: http://naked-on-pluto.net/

And more recently I've been working with clojure for another online game, a critical take on FarmVille involving permaculture - a bit of info on that here: http://www.pawfal.org/dave/blog/

My background is in the games industry, and I now enjoy the benefits of functional programming and lisp macros for games dev while fondly remembering all the headaches that statefulness caused when working with thousands of C++ classes.

cheers,

dave

Hi David and welcome to the list :) I'm really interested in your plant eyes project here. I've been toying with some plant growing idea for a while now and I'd really like to have a look at your code & ideas for this. Unfortunately the source code link on you page seems to be broken. Is there any other place where I can have a look at this?

Hello David, (And first of all thanks to Tyler Church for his post. I had forgotten this mailing list existed and I've used IRC (and direct mail) for questions that would have been better asked on this list.) "David Griffiths" wrote on maandag 2011-03-14 08:30:

How nice to see you on this mailing list. Juse two weeks ago I was playing around with Fastbreeder and Geo. I still have to show Fastbreeder to a friend of mine who composes music. (http://matthewflorianz.com/) The Pawfal site is a real netgem(tm), together with f.e. http://iquilezles.org/. Right, enough bumlicking. This last year, in the little spare time available, I've been mostly working on my skill set which I can hopefully use to release a first simple game in 2011 or 2012.
