Hi,

my name is Alexander Shendi. I live in Asperg, a small town in the southwest of Germany. I like to dabble in Scheme. I still have have no idea what I'll submit, probably something using the HTML5 canvas and scheme2js.

Anyway the Jam should be fun, even if I do not succeed!

Happy hacking,

Alexander

Hello Alexander! the Scheme2js approach sounds interesting. Would you consider sharing some links to resources/libraries you might use? I could add such information to the Jam page's Resources section, and it might be helpful to others using Scheme.

The latest standalone version of scheme2js (from 2011) can be found at:

http://www-sop.inria.fr/indes/scheme2js/

(source code, precompiled jar archive, and man page and links to several papers).

A demo (a simple raycaster) is at:

Source code can be found at:

Other options using the Scheme->Javascript route are:

The Spock Egg for CHICKEN Scheme: http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/spock
The universal backend of Gambit: http://gambitscheme.org
A large list of Lisps in Javascript or compiling to Javascript can be found at: http://ceaude.twoticketsplease.de/articles/a-surve...

I hope this helps. Feel free to use some or all of this info.

Best Regards

Alexander

Hi all,

I have deceided not to enter the game jam. My code is not in a state that I will produce anything that remotely resembles a game in the next 4+7 days.

Good luck for the remaining participants.

Hi Alexander, no worries, perhaps we'll have another one in February :)

I hope you can stick around and play/discuss some of the other users projects, if you have time.
