Re: [Chicken-users] Live programming with Chicken

Unless I missed a radical change in Chicken, its SRFI-18 threads are green threads and not real system threads. As a result, blocking operations will block all threads and no real gain is had from the hardware's support for multithreading. Because of those issues I suggest avoiding SRFI-18 threads

Re: [Chicken-users] Live programming with Chicken

That is strange, I've experienced alex's problem too - having to yield a little to give the REPL some room. Anyhow, for others who might come across this thread: alex's idea works great, but you need to be careful with blocking IO on your REPL. If you don't use parley

Re: [Chicken-users] Live programming with Chicken

I have something like this set up on Unix. I start a separate SRFI-18 thread with a procedure that starts the main loop. Then (in the original thread) I call repl. The main loop calls thread-yield! after every iteration to make sure that the original thread evaluates each expression as soon as

Thanks Kristian and Daniel, Both options seem to be the thing I was looking for. I'll test them both and see what I like best. thanks, Richard On 07/02/14 17:43, Kristian Lein-Mathisen wrote: Hi Pluizer, I've tried to make a poll-based repl like you're talking about for the same purpose. Ha

You would need a non-blocking REPL. Which exists for all Unix variants: parley Just install it with chicken-install On 2 Jul 2014 03:41, "Richard" wrote: > Hello, I wanted to do some live game programming with Chicken Scheme. I > would like to adjust my game whilst it is running a game loop. I t

Hi Pluizer, I've tried to make a poll-based repl like you're talking about for the same purpose. Have a look here and see if that helps: https://github.com/Adellica/prepl K. On Wed, Jul 2, 2014 at 12:40 PM, Richard wrote: > Hello, I wanted to do some live game programming with Chicken Scheme

[Chicken-users] Live programming with Chicken

Hello, I wanted to do some live game programming with Chicken Scheme. I would like to adjust my game whilst it is running a game loop. I tried srfi-18 threads for this but found it to be too unwieldy. So I wondered if there is a way to process the repl inside the loop. An example of what I woul
