Can you compile it with gcc? That's free, it's better, faster, and portable.

I am using SBCL. As for sb-cga, I just heard of it. I'm using home-grown vector and matrix functions. I'm sure I'll need something more powerful later. Also, I'm brushing up on my shaders. Are you a lisper? You seem familiar.

I appreciate the offer. My goal is to write a FSP style game in Lisp as a tool to help get people involved with lispgames.org. Also, Python is a fine language I'm just hooked on parentheses.

:)

I certainly hope so, or my dream of making video games is pointless.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave" - Calvin Coolidge

I did not know that. Luckily I know a little about shaders.

The easiest way is to leverage existing libraries with a Foreign Function Interface (FFI). Common Lisp, Forth, and Scheme have them and they are just great for working with libraries.

I have a website I forgot about. I can post it there when I get home.

This is just what I need. I'll implement it as soon as I can!

Seriously, are there any atheists in r/atheism anymore?

I swear half the people here are Christians trying to "save" us and debate evolution.

Spoiler Alert: There is no god and evolution has predictive ability.

I'd be more than happy to, but I'm not at home. I can email it to you, but please don't judge me or lisp by this code. I wrote it while my son napped, so I was in a hurry.

Ack. How do I add two rotations together without invoking a z component?

bwbeer · 20 days

Thank you. I did not know that.

In fact, that might be causing my issues!

bwbeer · 20 days

I can describe it, as I am not at home. I multiply the delta-x and delta-y pixels by a number of degrees. (.2 I think). Then I (translated to C for your convenience):

glMatrixMode(Projection);

glLoadIdentity();

gluPerspective(blah...); //sorry, forgot this...

glRotate(delta-x * .2, 0, 1, 0);

glRotate(delta-y * .2, 1, 0, 0);

glTranslate(loc.x, loc.y, loc.z);

The Magic constant is the Kludge. Also, how do I get the direction vector?

Ahh...I know a smig of Haskell. I "understand" monads so and it is next on my list... Sigh, I'll pony up and learn it.

name_was_taken · 23 days

Done! Great language. I even implemented first order logic in common lisp.

Linux can do an infinite loop in 55 ms. I just keep the values I need.

bewk · 23 days

I agree, but not all AA's do.

You are a good friend. I hope your friend gets better too.

I thought I knew something about programming and then I learned Assembly Language.

Then I thought I knew something about programming and then I learned Unix.

Then I thought I knew something about programming and then I learned Perl.

Then I thought I knew something about programming and then I learned Lisp.

Then I thought I knew something about programming and then I learned Forth.

Now I am back at Assembly and I'm looking for another strange loop.

Also, I say all this as a recovering alcoholic/addict. Addicts/Alcoholics will tear themselves apart if they don't want to get better. Much like a drowning man, they will pull you under when you try to help them. The drugs make us crazy, we don't understand it, but we will give up everything just to fill ourselves with our drug of choice. When we sober up we are remorseful but soon the cravings pull us back under and the cycle starts again. It's agonizing to watch; it's worse to go endure. But when you can't help someone out, you have to let them fall. Maybe that will be their 'bottom' and will wake them up. Really though, a bottom is when your life is getting worse faster than you can adjust your standards.

For me:

The worst addiction is your own.

My drug of choice is more.

And I am sober now.

Well, if you don't save America, who else is going to do it?

King-Kong is to old to help us now!

It's for friends and family of alcoholics, but most (I can't speak for all since every meeting is unique) deal with, and consider alcoholism the same as, addiction. They can help you not enable, to detach, and mourn your friend's changes. They can also teach you all about the tricks, cons, and damage addicts do/cause. Anyone can go to these meetings and you can decide for yourself if they are for you.
