Re: anyone interested in a small game?
Haha! I forgot about Java2d... Yeah, that would work just fine. No, Clojure does not support remote agents. But agents can really help in a system like this to express objects as distinct entities. That is, you have one object per item on the screen, and then each object basically can live on its own: (send entity update-time timespan) (send asteroid do-split) etc. Actually, this really isn't too long of a project, at least the asteroids part isn't.

Re: Dynamic test creation?

Right now, there is a single deftest function that runs all the assertions. That's ok but creates reporting like 1 test was run with 1000s of assertions. Clojure being so dynamic, is it possible to create tests on-the-fly and run them where each dynamic test represents each row so that the reporting says X tests (where X == number of CSV rows). I'm fairly new to clojure and quite unfamiliar with the ins-and-outs of clojure.test. Any pointers here would be appreciated. Thank you It absolutely would be possible, and furthermore this is an area where macros really shine. I would choose macros because from what you describe, it sounds like you'd like to write a program that generates a bunch of deftest forms, and then runs those tests. But you need language facilities like reading from a csv file in order to do so. Clojure (and indeed all lisps) give you this ability. You could write a macro that reads in the CSV file and for each line, generates a deftest form. Below is a quick sketch of what it might look like if your CSV file consisted of two columns of values that were supposed to be equal to each other.

Re: anyone interested in a small game?
I once wrote a test game engine that handled used a one-agent per entity approach, and the idea was that it should be close to linearly scale-able. It actually worked quite well. I think in the end I tested it with more than 10,000 entities flying in a flocking/following pattern, and the engine ran like a dream. IIRC the limit with 10,000 entities was more because my GPU on my laptop is crap, and couldn't push much more than that at a single time. With 10,000 entities on my quad-core desktop the app worked like a dream. Now all this is overkill for a small game, but it did seem to work well. Unfortunately, I'm not sure a game as small as asteroids would work well to have multiple people working on it. Simply because each part of the game (graphics, physics, gui, etc.) are all so small, that multiple developers would just step on each other's toes.

{ANN} clojure-control 0.2.1 released.
Clojure-control is a clojure DSL for system admin and deployment with
many remote machines via ssh/rsync.It is on github:
https://github.com/killme2008/clojure-control
0.2.1 has been released,main highlights:
First,A shell command DSL by sunny87,for example:
(cd /home/login
(run ls)
(cd bin
(run ls)))
(cd /home/login
(path /home/login/bin
(env JAVA_OPTS -XMaxPermSize=128m
(run clojure
Second,Supports ssh/scp/rsync options when defining cluster,they can
be a string or a vector:
(defcluster :mycluster
:ssh-options -p 44
:scp-options -v
:rsync-options [-arz --delete]
:clients [
{ :host c.domain.com :user clogin :ssh-
options -v -p 43}
]
:user login
:addresses [a.domain.com b.domain.com])
Third, It supports executing task in parallel now,just define cluster
by
(defcluster :mycluster
:parallel true
)
At last, i recommend everyone try the lein-control plugin developed by
sunny87 for using cc much more simply,please visit
https://github.com/sunng87/lein-control

This is certainly not immediately obvious, but one way to understand it is that if you extend a built-in Java type to implement your protocol, it does not change the underlying type to implement the protocol's interface. Rather it provides machinery in the protocol itself that knows how to use the built-in Java type to satisfy the protocol. I don't think it is useful to try and think of this as interface inheritance because it is not the same as interface inheritance in Java. I wasn't used to thinking of it as inheritance, but after thinking about it more it seems like inheritance is a reasonable way to think of it. Adapting protocol A to protocol B is like saying that all types satisfying protocol B can also be used as if they satisfy protocol A and furthermore there is a default implementation (that can be over- ridden) of protocol A for them.

Re: anyone interested in a small game?

I suggest stealing ideas from there if you can. I'll note that most descriptions of such systems are very much written for C++ programmers, and many of their explanations are tough to get through if you aren't familiar with the problems. The basic idea is something like splitting up your record above into a record per feature. An entity is then just an aggregation of such features. Then for each feature, there is a function which handles changes to that feature. The game loop goes through each function, runs it against all entities, and then continues. In some ways, the entities are data and relations, and the functions that operate on them take queries on this data as input. jack. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: anyone interested in a small game?
In the OOP languages, entity systems seem to be all the rage. I
suggest stealing ideas from there if you can.
In this same vein, I'd recommend thinking about the following approach:
First, read up on reify and protocols. Next, create protocols for the
main areas of your engine. Perhaps start with IRender and
IPhysicalEntity
(defprotocol IRender
(render [this]))
(defprotocol IPhysicalEntity
(update-position [this timespan]))
then for the user ship, you can do something as simple as:
(defn new-ship [x y]
(let [pos (atom {:x x :y y})]
(reify
IRender
(render [this]
(render-ship-model pos))
IPhysicalEntity
(update-position [this timespan]
(swap! pos
#(hash-map :x (inc (:x %)) :y (:y %)))
there's bound to be errors in the above code, but you get the point.
The thing I love about the above example is that we've completely
abstracted away the parts of this engine. We can have entities that
implement different protocols, we can have a separate data structure
for each and every entity, depending on its needs, and everything is
abstracted nicely. Static objects can just implement IRender, and
invisible objects can implement IPhysicalEntity. Extend this to
implement ICollideable (for collision detection), and you have the
makings of a very extensible system.

Re: anyone interested in a small game?
As far as the mutable state goes, yes, that's probably a better route,
at least for a simple game. However I would recommend against
everything is a polygon route. Once again, for a simple game, this
may be fine, but you're now making an assumption: everything is a
polygon. What if you want a simple laser point-to-point entity? What
if you want a planet that is represented by a circle? What if you want
your ship to be a different color than the asteroids? By implementing
IRender, you get two side effects:
1) you can now de-couple the presentation of the object, from the code
that presents it
2) you can have very complex models (multiple polygons and colors)
without having complex render code
3) you can have entities represented by bitmaps, polygons, circles,
arcs, 3d meshes, etc.
This is what Clojure excels at...de-coupling, or as Rich put it in his
recent talk Simple made Easy: don't assume things about your code.
Don't assume that all models will always fit into the concept of a
polygon...don't assume that you'll always want to represent your
models via Java2D.
Now, I'm not saying that your idea is bad for a simple game...but for
a larger project you may run into problems with this approach.
If you want a good way to think about this, I'd recommend trying to
design the engine to run on both Clojure and ClojureScript. Have it
support Java2D, SVG and Canvas front ends...even if you don't
implement anything but the JVM version, if you can at least show that
your engine would work on these other platforms without heavy
modifications (massive kodos if you can do this without any
modifications to the core engine at all) then I would say you have
reached a higher plane of understanding in when it comes to Clojure.

entities that implement different protocols, we can have a separate

and everything is abstracted nicely. Static objects can just
implement IRender, and invisible objects can implement
IPhysicalEntity. Extend this to implement ICollideable (for
collision detection), and you have the makings of a very extensible

Re: {ANN} clojure-control 0.2.1 released.
thanks for sharing, this looks extremely useful.

Clojure-control is a clojure DSL for system admin and deployment with
many remote machines via ssh/rsync.It is on github:
https://github.com/killme2008/clojure-control
0.2.1 has been released,main highlights:
First,A shell command DSL by sunny87,for example:
(cd /home/login
(run ls)
(cd bin
(run ls)))
(cd /home/login
(path /home/login/bin
(env JAVA_OPTS -XMaxPermSize=128m
(run clojure
Second,Supports ssh/scp/rsync options when defining cluster,they can
be a string or a vector:
(defcluster :mycluster
:ssh-options -p 44
:scp-options -v
:rsync-options [-arz --delete]
:clients [
{ :host c.domain.com :user clogin :ssh-
options -v -p 43}
]
:user login
:addresses [a.domain.com b.domain.com])
Third, It supports executing task in parallel now,just define cluster
by
(defcluster :mycluster
:parallel true
)
At last, i recommend everyone try the lein-control plugin developed by
sunny87 for using cc much more simply,please visit

Re: anyone interested in a small game?
However I would recommend against everything is a polygon route. Once again, for a simple game, this may be fine, but you're now making an assumption: everything is a polygon. What if you want a simple laser point-to-point entity? What if you want a planet that is represented by a circle? What if you want your ship to be a different color than the asteroids? A simple example is a trigger. This in fact has a polygon (or rather, a volume or area), and causes some event to happen when some object collides with it. However, it is not rendered itself. Lots of game logic is implemented as triggers and other things, which are entities but not rendered. This is overkill perhaps for the simple games, but very flexible for the not so simple ones. I highly recommend reading this description of the Thief engine: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3355/postmortem_thief_the_dark_project.php?print=1 jack. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

this is my opinion as well:
adding a layer of abstraction at a later point in time is much more
difficult than removing one that is just delegating calls, so it often
pays off to add one in the beginning just in case. i decided to just
skip that because everything is going to be a polygon, even lines and
circles can be represented as polygons.
i did what you suggested anyway.

, you get two side effects:
1) you can now de-couple the presentation of the object, from the
code that presents it 2) you can have very complex models (multiple
polygons and colors) without having complex render code 3) you can
have entities represented by bitmaps, polygons, circles, arcs, 3d
meshes, etc.
This is what Clojure excels at...de-coupling, or as Rich put it in
his recent talk Simple made Easy: don't assume things about your
code. Don't assume that all models will always fit into the concept
of a polygon...don't assume that you'll always want to represent
your models via Java2D.
Now, I'm not saying that your idea is bad for a simple game...but
for a larger project you may run into problems with this approach.
If you want a good way to think about this, I'd recommend trying
to design the engine to run on both Clojure and ClojureScript. Have
it support Java2D, SVG and Canvas front ends...even if you don't
implement anything but the JVM version, if you can at least show
that your engine would work on these other platforms without heavy
modifications (massive kodos if you can do this without any
modifications to the core engine at all) then I would say you have
reached a higher plane of understanding in when it comes to
Clojure.

Re: easy sum of squares refactor question
Glad I could help! SICP is a wonderful book, and Clojure is a dream come true in that it gives you a step from SICP into the real world. Clojure would be just about perfect if it had general tail call optimization and continuations, but I don't really miss those so far (in any case they can't really be added until the JVM supports them). And the seq abstraction and readable data structures are such a huge plus I'd never go back to Scheme. I remember getting frustrated with those exact two deficiencies when using Scheme, and wanting to have a language that fixed that; along came Clojure. Clojure is also constantly improving and getting more polished, and moving into more and more fields of use.

Rather a strong term.or maybe your definition is I don't understand the value. The value of having people piece together ad-hoc test suites vs. adding tests to Clojure (and the Clojure build) is in some sense the same. The tests will flush out undesired behavior regardless. In another sense the value of having your own test suite is higher because you have it test what you care about and don't have to jump through hoops to get it into Clojure's suite. In yet another sense the value of having tests in Clojure's test suite is higher because some failures will be detected early (and fixing it early is some how less expensive). The idea is not ridiculous. The circumstances that would drive to it's implementation would be. It would make Clojure, to my knowledge, the only open source project were contribution of test cases is so difficult the community more or less forks the tests suite from the controlling body and runs it themselves. Your email starts off Whacky idea… , so maybe I should have said which is whack. My guess is rich wrote this in response (at least in some part) to nathan's recent thread about the change to box ints as Longs in Clojure 1.3.

Re: Please try the alphas and betas!
It can still be difficult to find the right repo and documentation for alpha and betas. Especially for the new contrib. It really doesn't have anything to do with the Core team or the actual documentation (when it's finally found). To me the problem is sifting through the countless highly ranked old and/or bad information.

Re: Please try the alphas and betas!
I expect this discussion isn't what Rich had in mind so let's draw it to a close. If any one else thinks there is merit in a vehicle that provides the clojure team with access to many real life examples of how clojure is being used in the wild and equally providing those submitters with early feedback on any broken changes then drop me an email/start another thread. I assume Kevin, that you won't be hammering on my door to lead this idea? To be honest I won't be doing anything about it either, it was just an idea.

The value of having people piece together ad-hoc test suites vs. adding tests to Clojure (and the Clojure build) is in some sense the same. The tests will flush out undesired behavior regardless. In another sense the value of having your own test suite is higher because you have it test what you care about and don't have to jump through hoops to get it into Clojure's suite. In yet another sense the value of having tests in Clojure's test suite is higher because some failures will be detected early (and fixing it early is some how less expensive). The idea is not ridiculous. The circumstances that would drive to it's implementation would be.

Re: Lazy behavior
The problem you're having doesn't have anything to do with file reads. Every time you call (take 5 data), you're calling it on the same item 'data'; your variable 'data' doesn't change between each call. The chief thing you have to understand about Clojure is that variables never change. Never. If you want 'change' you need to use refs, atoms, etc. So for instance if you wrote (let [x (iterate inc 1)] [(take 5 x) (take 5 x)]) you'd get [(1 2 3 4 5) (1 2 3 4 5)] You need to make the next call on the \rest of the sequence, which you can get by calling (drop n data). Then your processing function could be something like (loop [x data] (your-processing-function-here (take 5 x)) (recur (drop 5 x))) That will walk right through the sequence or the file or whatever you have (if it's infinite, make sure to write a terminating condition, e.g.: (loop [x (iterate inc 1)] (print (take 5 x)) (if ( (first x) 50) nil (recur (drop 5 x ) On Oct 31, 2:53 pm, Nicolas bousque...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everybody! I'am experimenting with clojure and as an exercice I use the facebook puzzles (http://www.facebook.com/careers/puzzles.php?puzzle_id=20) Most puzzles require to read from a text file efficiently. So I try to not read the full file at a time, but process it lazily. For that I made a very small helper library that try to benefit of lazy sequences: ;Pattern instances are immutables and thread safe (def split-pattern (java.util.regex.Pattern/compile \\s)) (defn split-words [string] Split the provided string into words. Separators are space and tabs (if (nil? string) nil (vec (remove #(.equals % ) (.split split-pattern string) (defn read-text-file [file-name] Read a text file, line per line, lazily returning nil when end of file has been reached. Each line is a vector of words (let [reader (java.io.BufferedReader. (java.io.FileReader. file- name))] (map split-words (repeatedly #(.readLine reader) (defn next-line [lines] (first (take 1 lines))) So basically, a file is a lazy sequence of lines, and each line is a vector of words. Lazy behavior seems to be working at first, it I write: (let [data (read-text-file liars.txt)] (take 5 data)) - ([5] [Stephen 1] [Tommaso] [Tommaso 1] [Galileo]) It correctly return the 5 first lines of my file. Perfect that's exactly what I want. But when really using it, it doesn't work. If I call several time the take function, it always return the first lines instead of providing the next ones: (let [data (read-text-file liars.txt)] [(take 5 data) (take 5 data)]) =[([5] [Stephen 1] [Tommaso] [Tommaso 1] [Galileo]) ([5] [Stephen 1] [Tommaso] [Tommaso 1] [Galileo])] If I call take 10 directly, it works as expected: (let [data (read-text-file liars.txt)] (take 10 data)) =([5] [Stephen 1] [Tommaso] [Tommaso 1] [Galileo] [Isaac 1] [Tommaso] [Galileo 1] [Tommaso] [George 2]) You would say, why not just take all data from the stream and then process it? Well the file has a specific format, first line contain some data, then few next line contain another data and so on. So I want to have a function that will read only a subpart of the file for example, another function another part and call them sequentially. But as shown in the simple previous example it simply doesn't work. My understanding is that some immutable thing is in the middle and it act like the data reference isn't changed between calls. That not what I want obviously as I'am getting data from a java stream, that is not supposed to be immutable. And how can I manage correctly this kind of cases? Efficiantly and idiomatically.

Re: Homoiconicity in clojure (macro power)
While Peter Norvig was discussing Python with John McCarthy (inventor of lisp) in the audience: John simply asked if Python could gracefully manipulate Python code as data. No, John, it can't was Peter's reply. Create a list and call read on it. Create a function, manipulate it as a list to modify it, walk it, print it, and treat it as a list in general. In particular, a macro is a list that operates on a list to produce a list that gets used as a list, possibly to define a data structure, or a function, or another macro or whatever else you might want. Lisp code is data. Lisp data is code. This is not true in most other languages. Tim Daly On Mon, 2011-10-31 at 02:40 -0700, vikbehal wrote: I am from java Background.

Re: Simple Made Easy - Any Examples?
If you want to improve then you will need to invest time understanding core development concepts. You don't want to accidentally do the right thing because your language pushes you in that direction. Instead, you want to purposefully do the right thing by having a good understanding of the fundamentals (e.g. scope, state, composition, etc.). You want to arrive, by yourself, to many of the same conclusions as Rich. Testing was my route to understanding development at a deeper level. Growing Object Oriented Software Guided by Tests is, in my opinion, one of the best software development books out there. The authors, Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce, will show you how to decompose, simplify, and analyze your code by probing it with tests. They cover a wealth of topics including composition, context independence, values, design, unit testing, acceptance testing, and more. They also provide an extensive working example to give you insight into their thought processes, practices, and to show you how to apply the concepts. This book is a great starting point for developers looking to get to the next level. In the end, you're just going to have to get your hands dirty and tackle these ideas head on. Check out that book, practice, push yourself, ask yourself a lot of questions, try things, learn from mistakes, don't be satisified or complacent, and, after awhile, you'll find that you can give talks like Rich. =P -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.
