I have a bunch of code for a game I'm working on, but I've taken a slightly different approach to the problem than other people seem to have so far. When you develop in a functional language like Clojure, you typically want to quarantine all behaviour related to I/O, and avoid touching any mutable values directly. In Ring, for instance, we limit the interaction with the underlying servlet classes to a single function: the adapter. For jME3, I've been pursuing a similar approach. Essentially I'm aiming for this: (run-app (atom initial-app-data)) The only point of contact between the jME3 classes and the logic in Clojure will be that single function. Everything else will happen through modifying reference to a data structure. Right now I've got it working with geometries, textures, a simple HUD, events, very limited physics, collisions, and I'm currently writing an interface to NiftyGUI (which isn't easy, as it's not very well designed). The work I've done on this so far is part of a game, but could potentially be factored out. Currently it's very much a work in progress, and I expect it to take several months before I have anything useful outside of my use-case. - James -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
