Yeah I agree. I misremembered them from 33 years ago as being HLINE and VLINE 
and corrected them when I looked them up. :)

By the way, it is available for ClojureScript / iOS now:

(I have to say, CLJC rocks!)

I guess HLIN and VLIN have a historical significance.  Still kind of 
confusing, but I understand now how you arrived at those names.

Looks like fun. I would change `hlin` to `hline` and `vlin` to `vline`. 
It's only one more character to type, but much clearer to read.

[ANN] Bocko 0.2.0

2015-05-07 Thread Mike Fikes
I created a tiny library that makes it easy to plot points in a "low-res" 
graphics mode: 

  https://github.com/mfikes/bocko

The motivation was to help encourage interest in my own kids (10 and 12-yo) 
to learn tidbits of Clojure, and it seems to be working. :)

I remember that, with the BASIC "REPLs" built into the hardware in the 80s, 
the ability to easily futz with graphics added an extra dimension to the 
learning experience. Bocko imitates the "gr" mode from the Apple ][.
