Lambda of the Daleks

As promised, the Daleks appear. They have been loaded dynamically from an md2 whilst the framework was running. Sometimes I find myself fighting my C++ reflexes. There's no need to bring the framework down in order to change it. It still seems like magic when I edit a function definition, compile it and *bam* the change appears in the game window...






...one day, all software will be developed this way. Onwards..

And now for a bit of swank..

Now my testbed talks happily to emacs via slime. That's the "exploratory" part of "exploratory game developement.". Next up: Daleks...

And now for something completley different.

You guessed it - another testbed. This time, in 100% Common Lisp (SBCL), just for comparison.

More testbed

I've done some more playing around with that testbed, integrating ECL and G3Ds Shape API. It works ok, apart from a few wrinkles. It might even be the beginnings of a nice educational app for learning 3d transforms and the like. The main improvement is that the REPL gives you error feedback rather than crashing the app when you give it a bad form. A distinct must for interactivity...
