Game Project - HTML5 or Applet?

I'm thinking of making a game in Clojure for this competition: http://lispinsummerprojects.org/. However, I'm not sure if the best way to go is HTML5 with ClojureScript or a Java applet More specifically, I'd like to do HTML5, but am unsure of the current capabilities of ClojureScript. An

Or... what about abstracting away the graphics/audio/input and doing both? On Friday, 24 May 2013 05:22:20 UTC-4, JvJ wrote: > > I'm thinking of making a game in Clojure for this competition: > http://lispinsummerprojects.org/. > > However, I'm not sure if the best way to go is HTML5 with Clojure

Re: Game Project - HTML5 or Applet?

Hi, I haven't investigated much game development in HTML5 with ClojureScript, but Chris granger did ! You can find here [1] some explanations about a game he developped for a node knockout, in [2] you can find the code of the game and [3] is a library implementing the pattern he used to model h

Re: Game Project - HTML5 or Applet?

Hi, in case you want to go with an applet, you could use Simplecs [1], a library I wrote for creating games based on a Component-Entity-System engine which is heavily influenced by Chris Granger's post. It embraces functional programming and immutable data structures. The game state is represe

Re: Game Project - HTML5 or Applet?

It's for a contest project, so maybe this doesn't matter ... but anyway what I'm thinking deep inside is that I would not do it with a Java Applet. For the same reasons I would not do it with Flash, etc. 2013/5/24 JvJ : > I'm thinking of making a game in Clojure for this competition: > http://lisp

creating maps out of sql

I am starting out to use Clojure to combine and verify data between DB2 on a Mainframe, SQL Server and an Atom Feed. Yes, it's such fun working in a start-up ;-) Database wise, all is connecting OK after some Leiningen shenanigans and I am now stuck on the mapping part ;-) The code is below.

Re: creating maps out of sql

If you need to do join like operations on database tables from different sources that you can't join through SQL, there's a nice library called table-utilsthat you can use. Since it's not released on clojars there's some steps y

Re: creating maps out of sql

Hi Ray, First, I'd remove the print(ln)s from the functions. No need for side-effects there. Just have the functions return the result value and then when you call a2p-records-by-date you can wrap it in a println. Then you want to create a Map as the return value of the inner loop in a2p-record

Mocha and Chai wrappers for ClojureScript testing

Re: How to: reduce boolean operations?

Usage: (every? pred coll) (see http://clojuredocs.org/clojure_core/clojure.core/every_q ) Function *every?* expects a predicate and a collection. Converting the map {:a 1} into a collection returns a sequence of 2-element vectors: user=> (seq {:a 1}) ([:a 1]) Calling the function :a on a vec

I think that the front page of the site lacks a decent explanation of what the liberator is... for example, you could put there the description from the 'getting started' page... :) Marek On Friday, May 24, 2013 4:08:10 PM UTC+2, Philipp Meier wrote: > > Hi, > > I just released liberator 0.9.0.

Git vs Perforce Comparison

Hello Clojurians, I'm sure that everyone here is pretty well sold on the idea that Git is nearly always a better SCM choice than Perforce, etc. I recently had to do a comparison at work highlighting the differences between the two systems as we try to move from a legacy home-grown SCM solution to

why is this behaving badly?

Hi everyone, I am trying to do something very simple like asking the user whether he wants to continue or not (a-la bash). However, sometimes the print statement is printed sometimes it isn't! IN other words sometimes I get the prompt ,sometimes it looks like it's hanging (while in fact it's

Re: creating maps out of sql

You might want to consider a federated database tool like http://teiid.org It would be pretty easy to link DB2 and SQL Server. Hooking up the Atom feed would require a bit more work but probably not too bad. On Friday, May 24, 2013 7:55:17 AM UTC-7, Mond Ray wrote: > > I am starting out to use C

Re: why is this behaving badly?

Hi Jim, I think the STDOUT stream in Java is flushed by default when you print a new line. You can flush manually with: (.flush (System/out)) Hope that helps, Dima On Fri, May 24, 2013 at 3:35 PM, Jim - FooBar(); wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I am trying to do something very simple like asking t

Hey Folks, We've just released the 0.1.7 versions of the Pedestal libraries. The big feature in this release is a much simplified dataflow engine for the client-side. We're still behind on documentation and samples, but with this change our focus finally shifts directly to improving those two

Has anyone here played with Wisp?

I saw mention of Wisp the other day (on Hacker News, IIRC), but I haven't noticed any discussion of it on the Clojure email list, (def newsletter), etc: Wisp is a homoiconic JavaScript dialect with clojure syntax, s-expressions and macros. Unlike clojurescript, Wisp code compiles to human-

Re: Game Project - HTML5 or Applet?

Also, I'm taking a look at your tutorial. The code seems to involve a lot of assoc/update-type methods, combined with special let statements. Have you considered using the state monad, or something similar, in order to better manage this? On Friday, 24 May 2013 08:52:49 UTC-4, Stephen Kockent
