Peter,
You might look at the loop special form:
(defn game
"Runs the game, returning the final state"
[]
(loop [state (initial-state)]
(report state)
(if (final? state)
state
(recur (compute-new-state state (read-line))))))
for your own definitions of initial-state, report, final?, and compute-
new-state.
