Re: Let's Talk About Common Lisp!
Re: Let's Talk About Common Lisp! I used to think the same thing. It is much easier when you use an interface like SLIME for Emacs; it will keep track of your parenthesis, give you documentation for function calls, and a whole host of other things.

Let's Talk About Common Lisp!
Let's Talk About Common Lisp! Hi,I heard about this awesome language from a friend in college. And it has been a joy to use, albeit a bit weird to get the syntax. Basically, instead of making a function call like foo(bar, baz, qux), you put the parenthesis out front and the function name first, with its arguments separated by white space. Here is how the aforementioned function call would look in real Lisp code:(foo bar baz qux)This means take foo, and apply it to the arguments bar baz and qux. Now how about a real example?Suppose that we want to implement the classic n! problem in Lisp. In the languages we know and love, this would look somewhat like this:def factorial(n): """ Return the factorial of n.""" if n <= 0: return 1 else: return n*factorial(n-1)Now, let's take this definition and make it Lispy!(defun factorial (n) "Return the factorial of n"< br /> (if (<= n 0) 1 (* n (factorial (- n 1)Now, I guess I've got some 'splaining to do.We'll take this chunk by chunk:1. The defun macro basically tells your Lisp interpreter "Okay, interpreter, the next thing is going to be called a function called factorial. It will take as an argument a number n."2. The "Returns the factorial of n" bit is a docstring, akin to what is in Python.3. Now, we get to the bit of code that does the heavy lifting. This (if (<= n 0) part is a call to the if function. Its first argument is a call to the <= function, to see if n is <= 0. Note, however, that I did not close off the if list; if I did this, the forms that follow would not evaluate.4. If the first condition, n <= 0 yields true, we simply return the atom 1 (atoms are essentially basic values in Lisp). This is the base case for our recursive call; 0! = 1 and we need to stop ther e, else we will recursively loop to infinity.5. Now, we get to the last bit of code.a. We'll start out by starting a call to the * function. Its first argument is the value we passed in originally, n.b. Now, we make a call to the factorial function.c. Then, we call the - function of n-1. Since n! is defined as n*(n-1)!, this is our recursive call.6. And now, we close off the lists of function calls; in Lisp, it seems to be customary to put all the closing parenthesis on the last line.And there you have it, an example of Lisp code. Not exactly revolutionary, but I think it might start an interesting discussion. To test the code and prove it, you'll need, naturally, a Lisp interpreter. As I am on Linux, I use SBCL, which I belive has been ported to Windows and Mac.Happy hacking!

What Language Features Does Ruby Provide for Game Development Hi,In the world of Python, as I understand it, we have PyGame and I believe Pyglet may also be used for gaming. But given that I have used Python a lot in university, I want to try out something new and thus am choosing Ruby for now and I might write something in Haskell. I am curious: any audiogame devs ever used Ruby as a development language. If so, what neat and interesting gems did you use?

Showing the Number of Correct but Out of Place Character in Java Hi,I have been working on this for quite some time now, and I'm devilishly stuck for no apparent reason. I am trying too put together a method that will, be given two arguments: one will be a correct string, and another will be a string that a user guesses. For example, if the computer churns out appel and the user enters papel, there are two incorrectly placed characters. But getting this idea down to code is proving to be a challenge.

Removing First Duplicate in python
Removing First Duplicate in python Hi gang. I have been driven insane by this for quite some time now. What we essentally want to do is remove the first duplicate in a string, but if there is space between characters, that would not be a duplicate. Thus, bookkeeper would return bokeper.My code that I have now doesn't do that, bookkeeper comes out bokepr, which is really close; I am missing that detail that brings the code to a nice conclusion.My code is as follows:remove_repeat(message): seen_chars = [] placeholder = [] for c in message: if c not in seen_chars: seen_chars.append(c) if c not in placeholder: placeholder.append(c) return placeholderI will change placeholder to a string as soon as i can figure out how to fix the nonconsecutive duplicate issue .

Can Someone Help Me Rationalize This?
Can Someone Help Me Rationalize This? Hi guys. I want to make a command-line all-in-one package manager, which will check to see if you are using Ubuntu, Arch, Gentoo, etc. Then, you can use one command to install, upgrade, and search for packages. But whats the point? Why bother? I dont know.Heres a basic design moder:1) I will probably write this in Bash, unless anyone has a better solution.2) I want to have one command, probably UPM (Universal Package Manager) which will interface with Portage, apt-get, yum, pacman, etc.3) You will use switchers to search, install, update repositories, and upgrade packages. Something like upm -i firefor to install FireFox.But I cant rationalize with myself. I dont anticipate people using it, yet there is a compulsion to make it. And does anyone have a better design model? Im open to ideas.
