Hi, thanks to both of you for your replies. Im certainly joinning lisp-game-dev. I see lispbuilder, sounds good and is in part a great part of what I would want to build, which is... ...A game-dev killer app ala 'Macromedia Flash'. With a few differences: 1: It should be Open Source. 2: The scripting language should be some reduced lisp. 3: It should somehow support for 'building' your project for the following platforms: Lisp+SDL, Python+Pygame Javascript+svg probably swf too. Giving the propper warnings when your code won't run in any of them (i.e: Reading a file from disk won't work in Javascript+svg)
This app should be great for buliding games or crazy user interfaces. It sounds like a gigantic project, but I would set for having a multiplatform IDE (probably built with sdl) that allows organizing bitmaps on a canvas, making some animations and scripting an event driven interface. I don't think that what I'm talking about really exists, but something pretty close to it that can be modified could.(tell me if you know about anything like it, I've already checked the usual places though) I usually do my coding on an ibook G4 so I think i can help testing lispbuilder for Mac os X, but as far as i know SDL doesn't work for mac. I have no Idea on debbuging such thing, and its not of my immediate interest, I would actually pay for someone to get SDL to work on mac. (see, I would be buying myself hours of entertainment building this 'killer app') I think that lisp could really benefit from having a killer like this, like ruby got lots of press with rails.
