Is there documentation for the libraries in @lib/ ?

I can find the documentation for the default functions, and for the form functions, but how about libraries like pilog.l or http.l?

Fixed-point scaling and lookup tables

My next little picolisp project... Picolisp's built-in functions for scaled arithmetic are brilliant once you understand how they work. Still, it would be great to get more scientific functions without have to link an external math lib, and get 'real-time' performance when needed as well.

Yes you can not find any documentation. 2017-04-02 3:36 GMT+02:00 Bruno Franco : > I can find the documentation for the default functions, and for the form > functions, but how about libraries like pilog.l or http.l? >

Building PilBox

Hi Alex, I'm finally getting around to exploring PilBox. I installed the ready-made pilBox.apk to my phone and tried it out. Very cool, lots of potential there :) I've run into trouble trying to get it setup for myself, however. No issue preparing the toolchain, but './mk.arm64.linux' fails with

Re: Evaluation confusion

You seem to want to implement a search binary tree. Take a look at 'idx it already does that for you. A possible source of the trouble could be related to 'cadr in '(pp 'rooms). Also what project are you working on? (Just curious) 2017-04-01 7:46 GMT+02:00 Christopher Howard

Re: Evaluation confusion

Additional question: Should I expect any weird behavior with transient symbols and the '< or '> operators? E.g. (assuming the symbols have not been assigned strange values) is it true that "abc" will always be less than "abd" regardless of the scope of the transient symbols? On 04/01/2017 03:56

Re: Evaluation confusion

I expect my code so far will hardly impress you, but you can view it here at http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/picolisp-nb.git/tree/text-adventure When the game is (mostly) complete I'll probably fork it out to a separate project. On 04/01/2017 04:11 AM, Joh-Tob Schäg wrote: > @Christopher

Re: Evaluation confusion

Ah, okay. Somehow in my mind I had reversed the meaning of "==" and "=". @Joh-Tob: I am writing a text-adventure game, using a balanced binary tree as the primary data structure for managing game data. I wrote my own AA Tree implementation (with guidance from Wikipedia). I see the idx and balance

Re: Evaluation confusion

No that is not true. : (setq "ABC" 3) -> 3 : "ABC" -> 3 : (setq "ABD" 2) -> 2 : (> "ABC" "ABD") -> T But it is always true if the transient symbols do not refer to themselves. See Comparing in the docs. > Numbers are comparable by their numeric value, strings by their name, and > lists
