Hi, my name is Chris.

I discovered Lisp after I learning in Haskell, and started reading Practical Common Lisp by Peter Seibel and fell in love with the idea of building my own little languages for every new problem.

I've been playing around with making games ever since I was really young. My brother and I would make Doom-style games with a 3d game editor called GCS.

For awhile I was working on "Reconstructing Cave Story" over on youtube, but I took an extended (permanent?) break from it because I was doing C++ wrong and I got exhausted from it. I usually point people to Handmade Hero, because it's very very good.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the jam! Should be fun! I'll probably use my own SDL2 FFI library, because I remember having problems with not having control over the event loop in LISPBUILDER's SDL2.

Thanks for joining, Chris :) There is a new CL-SDL2 in development, and it seems to cover all the side libs such as SDL-MIXER and SDL-IMAGE. I haven't used it yet, but you may want to take a look around, it may save some work. Ok, have fun! and keep the group posted.

Oh that will be good! Yeah at the time I made my SDL layer I brand new to C.L., so I thought it would be a good exercise in writing some macros. Turns out, it really was!
