humorous meme image representing a mind in different stages of "enlightenment". The first for the dullest mind has a caption of "store timestamps in UTC"; the second has a caption of "store timestamps in TAI"; the third has a caption of "store timestamps in TCG"; and the last, most enlightened, has a caption of "store timestamps in TCB".

The strange thing about #LISP #Scheme #programmers—McCarthy, Minsky, Steele, Sussman, Friedman, Dybvig, and tonnes of others—is that they all seemed to have been born with fully developed and #functional brains.

Or perhaps habitually thinking and working in this #programming language turned them into such “aliens”.

Or both?🤔

#gamedev #devlog #itchio #commonLisp #McCLIM #NicCLIM #programming Map editor programming alpha note part 3/3: Picking up and using host lisp lambdas inside the map editor (also, player-based ephemeral storage).

https://screwlisp.small-web.org/lispgames/nicclim-alpha-part-iii-map-edit-macros/

I left this one as *just* picking up and using lambda forms around the map so as not to clutter up the example, a finished game of life game will be separate.

Also includes my thoughts after reading Dungeon Crawler Carl #bookstodon .

Alt...

A NicCLIM McCLIM application frame with a wonky hextille map of boxes on the right which contain EMPTY and LIFE. In the command interactor, it appears that cur1, a bytecompiled-function has been funcalled on the current cell, resulting the number 1 for 'LIFE'.

https://screwlisp.small-web.org/lispgames/nicclim-alpha-part-ii-lambdas/

Here I focus on writing normal lisp lambdas, and pasting them into the active map. Part 3 will be about picking up the lambdas and walking around the map, using them (i.e. to effect hextille game of life).

I look forward to your thoughts. We are in strange waters.

Alt...

The lisp alien from unix_surrealism. Note that its nose, arm and the back of its many-eyed head coincidentally form a lambda. a 32x32 pixel image with messy transparent background.

Alt...

The NicCLIM map editor (i.e. an application-frame window). The graphicalised actual map is just barely visible in the top left of the bottom pain, and there are pretty-printed lambda cells (boxes with a black border) jutting off the edge of the last row of the map visible elsewhere. The text of one of the lambdas can be seen pasted into the McCLIM interactor shell. Lightfield.

Alt...

NicCLIM game map. With a McCLIM interactor at the top where COM-MAP-LAYOUT is the last Command:, and the wonky hextille map grid is visible in the bottom pane. Empty blue and green tiles for the most part, but a hextille game of life looping triangle is visible as pink-red and yellow LIFE scribbled over the blue-and-green empty background graphical tiles. There are black boxes around the tiles. A lambda is visible in the bottom right; but instead of the word lambda, the lisp alien (un/coincidentally forming a lambda character) is behind the pretty printed lambda definition.

Alt...

Default view of a couple new bitesized lambdas added jaggedly to the bottom right corner of the NicCLIM game map. The CLIM command interactor here is busy with lots of Command aborted, Add row, rem row, add cell, set cur1 (lambda (x) (cond .. stuff happening. Other information is visible.
