Autumn Lisp Game Jam 2023

thdawn

A Touhou-like STG made for the Autumn Lisp Game Jam 2023.

See roadmap.md for design and todos.

Dependencies

• Common Lisp
• Raylib dynamic library (from your package manager)

Setup

All these steps are one time

1. Install a common lisp implementation
2. Install quicklisp into it https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/
3. Clone this repo into ~/common-lisp
4. Clone the raylib bindings into ~/common-lisp: git clone https://github.com/williewillus/cl-raylib. This library isn't available on the quicklisp package repo yet.
5. In a lisp repl, evaluate: (ql:quickload "thdawn"), which will fetch all other recursive dependencies from the internet.

Run Interactively with a REPL

1. Install SLIME in emacs https://slime.common-lisp.dev/
2. sbcl --eval "(require 'thdawn)" --eval "(in-package :thdawn)" --eval "(main)" --quit (or your equivalent lisp implementation of choice), which will start the game program and a REPL server. For convenience, this command has been put in run.sh.
3. In emacs, M-x slime-connect and hit enter, which will connect a REPL to the live running game
4. In the repl, type (in-package :thdawn) to enter the namespace of the game.
5. Now you can evaluate things in the game as it runs, examine game state, reload individual functions, etc. Magic!
