A lovely concept, it's a shame the game is so small.

Oh, and kudos for using Guile, it's surely a nice lisp to work with :)

Thank you! I could not get more done during the jam due to very real time constraints :-)

I hope I can make it larger over time.

Guile is really cool, but it often needs a bit more effort to get something working, because while the foundations are strong, the tools feel like they are tailored to those who already know them. For example I use stty to get the shell out of line-mode (cooked mode), instead of triggering some provided function — though it’s an awesome strength of its own that Guile allows me to do that shell indirection by using #! as inline comment — that way the hashbang for bash starts an inline comment, so I can add a bash-header in a completely valid scheme-file and then exec Guile after some custom operations :-).

Yeah, those deadlines 🙄

I feel like all lisps are kinda like that: they tend to have some nice foundations, and all extra stuff is added through the external libraries and/or FFI.
