This is a nightmare XD

I fully agree, in fact I'm writing a game in C too, it's https://github.com/andreamonaco/zombieland . Plus I have at least another idea for a game project in mind with the same language.

I'll look at that. About performance: people in practice have always favored GC, so I think there's a lot to be discovered in optimization of reference counting algorithms, including concurrent traversal (which is easier because e

Hello, I'm writing an implementation of the Common Lisp language that uses an enhanced reference counting algorithm (that I've taken from literature) that detects and handles cycles. Performance seems okay, though I still haven&#

Kudos to you! I'm writing a game (a little MMO) the same way, the technical and creative freedom is priceless.

I'd say the latter, since I felt the need for debugging tools similar to other languages like C. Watchpoints for example are entirely non-existent in current implementations, as far as I know
15.
by andreamonaco 1y ago
In my opinion, automake is the weakest part of the autotools chain. Look at this section of the manual for example https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#G... : it says that automake does

Yeah, advanced debugging features like watchpoints are very important to me

I don't like sites with heavy Javascript, especially if it's non-free. (Though recently I started using Github for a different project.) Savannah is very basic, perhaps too much, but it's okay for my project.

I'm not sure I understand. What I do in my project is very common practice: generated files (like the configure script) are not part of the repository, but they are put in released tarballs

Ideally I'd reach ANSI compliance, first with a bytecode compiler and then with a full one

by andreamonaco 1y ago
Thanks! Maybe I could do that, if I see that people are interested

I tried stepping in various free implementations, but I couldn't really follow the source forms and execute them one by one. Also, I couldn't find much information online. Maybe your experience is different?

I really hope that you will succeed! Maybe you'll want to find a way to earn money with it though

by andreamonaco 2y ago
Cool! Even though my computer is seemingly too underpowered to play it. Anyway, do you plan to make it a big game?
29.
by andreamonaco 2y ago
Well, I like and use SBCL and ECL, but I was curious if I could make something as big on my own. I was also curious about implementing that GC algorithm that I found in literature; I'm pretty satisfied with the result, though I don&#x

Based on the number of symbols implemented, I'd say that more than three quarters of the standard are done, almost enough to load a system with ASDF. Performance seems on par with clisp, but important optimizations are yet to be done,
