Thanks :) I see that there are a few persons with similar ideas, and I wonder how powerful we'd become if we managed to orchestrate our powers somehow, as TTN suggested > You can see my code at > http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/gacela I even managed to build it, but for some reasons the demos won't run. I get the following error: gacela/video.scm:175:2: In procedure init-gl: gacela/video.scm:175:2: In procedure module-lookup: Unbound variable: set-gl-hint It was also a little surprising that I had to copy the guile modules manually, in spite of make install If it comes to code, I see that you have a more polling-style approach for processing input. My desire is to get a system that never stops being reconfigurable -- to truly separate the user interface from program logics. I don't know if it's achievable, but I have a feeling that such direction is worth exploring First versions were developed with GNU Common Lisp and C bindings for > OpenGL and SDL but last year I discovered GNU Guile and Dynamic FFI. > Actually, Gacela is a Guile module which uses Figl > (http://gitorious.org/guile-figl); I am removing dependencies with > SDL. > > But most of my efforts are spent on my eternal search betwwen > simplicity, reusable code, proper functional style, i.e., a lot of > programming design and procrastination.

I, on the other hand, put a lot of trust in Scheme -- I believe that whatever I do, will eventually be able to find a concise representation for that, that will be surrounded by many parentheses ;] and so I'm not so much worried with the design, believing, that I will just be doing, and everything will design itself :) I tryed to port Gacela to the web too, and I developed an uncompleted > Lisp-Javascript translator that uses canvas and SVG for displaying > graphics.
