I'd say I
I have used 8th programming language [1], a Forth, where the same code
compiles to Linux, Windows, Android, OS X and iOS. SDL2 is on all
platforms, and there are games made with it, so maybe the same could be
done for PicoLisp. The Red Language libs and all is under 1mb [2], and it
too is
At first, I only wish to create something quick, so I am ready for the game
jam. I can add platforms or polish later. I think what you are suggesting
is embedding miniPicoLisp as a scripting language, if I understand you and
PicoLisp correclty.
I am really looking to use miniPicoLisp as the game
I'd say it's rather simple to embed minipico into any framework
which can be used with plain C. So that should open up Android
and iOS too. Although never underestimate the practical troubles
with compiling on 4 platforms if you are only one developer. :)
Been there, done that. :)

All true Alex and Jakob.
I am not trying to develop something professional, so that leaves me two
choices:
1. Implement a very simple framework, and handcraft all of the requirements
it in miniPicoLisp (thx Christophe! I had put it aside for a year and
forgot) that wraps SDL2, which is C-based,
Actually, I find that you can statically link most libraries on
Linux and that tends to remove almost all distribution problems.

Yes, that's the problem. As long as you go for a native Linux
If you need more portability and don't need the DB, you could
use miniPicoLisp.
And what about Ersatz ?

Alex,
I was brainstorming, and reaching out to any other possible graphics/game
devs that might also be interested in using PicoLisp. For me, I know what
I want. I want to be able to code my game in PicoLisp, and run it as is on
my Linux box. I would only require a minimal game framework, which

Yes, simul.l. I need to sleep!
I'll also investigate HTML idiosyncrasies more this week. It cannot be
ignored in today's world.
But, to do a desktop app, has SDL2, or the older SDL lib been wrapped for
picoLisp, or is there an advantage of handling this natively with picoLisp?
Any information

You mean @lib/simul.l, right? It is for general simulation purposes. The
genetic algorithm 'gen' was used
Alex,

Game frameworks always have keyboard input for movement (WASD keys, arrows,
space, etc... think Asteroids). I have

Good. The function list can be easily extended if necessary.
One important issue needs still be decided: Do you need key events in
That did it, Alex. Now onto looking at the libs to see what has been
implemented in HTML5 Canvas.
Any ideas on the maximum amount of entities, and what type, can be rendered
with picoLisp?
Most importantly, how could I package the final picoLisp/HTML5 game for
folks that don't have or want to

It works, and I get up to 420 Hz. The httpGate command seems to execute,
however, if I put in http://localhost the page cannot connect. I have to
put in http://localhost:8080 in both Firefox and Midori (Opera). Is there a
way to know if httpGate is running? I don't see it with

In fact it is not the data rates but the ping times which are relevant
here.

Cool. I am only getting around 2.80 Hz maximum over my 3G/4G WiFi hotspot.
I usually see 150 KBs to 300 KBs (1.2 to 2.5 mb/s).
I cannot run the example locally for some strange reason. I had the
rectangle example working earlier. Does this example require running
httpGate too? I kind of know what

This does not depend much on the canvas
