LTk uses IPC to talk between CL and Tk. This is a great strength and weakness (see flame wars about X11 on the same topic). In my experience, LTk is fine for most desktop apps (e.g. ABLE[1]) but it may not be suitable for a fast-paced game (difficulty controlling latency). I recently posted a Sudoku GUI to the LTk mailing list. It takes a while to render at first; but then its fully playable. - Daniel [1] http://common-lisp.net/project/able/ _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
