I recently created 3D boss fight prototype using Clojure: https://prototype-game.pages.dev
I cannot make the controls work on mobile. I'll try when I have a PC in front of me again.

I'm very curious what sort of games were made in elisp. It's not really the first thing that comes to mind when I think about games programming.

Janet seems to have fallen through the cracks. I went back to fennel for scripting stuff, mostly because I can just go and get a lot more Lua libraries and run it everywhere (even on my iPad with a-Shell) with zero hassle.
I mean it is valid to use it for the fun of it, just wondering. Lua is already more or less a Scheme clothed in a more conventional syntax. On top of that the fact that Lua already has excellent metaprogramming capabilities kind of negates the typical advantage of using a lisp-style syntax. So what is Fennel bringing to the table?
i don't wanna spoil what it's all about, but i ensure you it's a topic (and institute!) worth diving into. i poured 10h+ just reading the blog and all the related links and projects :)
A little surprised to not see any games using Janet- since it seems to be both made for gaming and has a surprising number of ‘batteries included’ like a web server and graphics. Then again, I’ve only stumbled upon it pretty recently myself. From my minor hacking with it, it’s def worth a peek in the Lisp/games arena.
This was… a hoot (pardon the pun) to read, since I’ve been eyeing Guile as a go-to for future stuff I build. Nice going on the WASM front.
i encourage the readers of this comment thread to check out the spritely institute, especially it's blog [0]. i don't wanna spoil what it's all about, but i ensure you it's a topic (and institute!) worth diving into. i poured 10h+ just reading the blog and all the related links and projects :) [0] https://spritely.institute/archive/
“ We’re not living in a world of Lisp machines, but a world of glorified PDP-11s.” Quite a summary. Btw any icing with sdl I wonder.
