@amszmidt sets me straight about the #loopFacility yet again

@vnikolov points out we can read comp.lang.lisp

The game bit is a bit clumsy to expose some of the odder automatic features. In front of an emacs window + repl of the blog article it comes from.

Well, it's pretty graphical now. Yes, table columns goofily resize and the history of button presses appear in the interactor shell: Really I just wanted to show you those features working.

Next article, I'll add two more asks and "launch" the game on itch.io.

Anyone else have a McCLIM show-and-tell?

A common lisp interface manager generated GUI with four differently sized panes and a menu bar. Quadrant 1: You found the hurkle on turn 3! Quadrant 2: McCLIM Hurkle Game Quadrant 3: A table view of the hurkle game. Where the symbol SW has appeared, the table widened the entire column to accomodate it. Quadrant 4: McCLIM's stock interactor pane, in this case showing the command history of investigate menu-bar-button presses. In the backdrop is the emacs of the source tangle of the blog article, and a repl.

@screwlisp Putting the directions in the hit display got me to do a little work to the version in my Basic Games in Scheme demo. Used some minimal ANSI graphics to draw a compass, too.

I added a gui to my Hurkle vintage game. Kinda burned out today. Anyway, you can see it working.

#article Shows how McCLIM declaratively and orthogonally generates graphical interface windows for an existing underlying game-logic class.

With some apologies to @jackdaniel @mdhughes .

A clim gui window filled with question marks and two "N" direction indicators for hurkle. The menu bar button Investigate is being pushed. Lightfield/white background.The McCLIM game window and next-move-entry window side-by-side in front of an emacs slime repl window in the background.The no-frills initial application frame in front of the blog markdown and emacs lisp repl in the background.

Ugh, I completely ran out of steam after successfully porting #Hurkle to #McCLIM but I just don't have the vigor for the final coat of paint yet

I wrote a lisp class that is meant to be Bob Albrecht's Hurkle vintage game. I only know what this was by @mdhughes linking me it once.

Git in link somewhere. Has anyone actually played Hurkle? How realistic was I?

I'll translate Hurkle to McCLIM and parenscript kitten tomorrow or something.

A screenshot of the devlog link in the toot being written on the left, and a field of questionmarks and compas directions like SW ? ? W on the right. The player found the hurkle! They are informed.
