I suppose the noob tag is appropriate ie I was around sometime last year and earlier but RLing got in the way of doing anything useful with this lovely language.
Anyway, I've got this old project (https://github.com/doubleagent/ Magic--legacy- ) which I've recently gained a renewed interest in, and simultaneously am less concerned about the potential legal issues which made me disinterested enough to drop it 4 years ago. I'm proud that it still builds and runs, but don't take the readme too seriously, and I highly doubt the perl scripts work anymore. The intent was to write a program which assisted MTG (Magic: The Gathering) players by providing them with robust deck building tools and a way to compete over a network using the honor system. Several features are still unimplemented, and some were removed in this version because the java2d worked too poorly to accommodate them. I'd like to port it to Clojure, but in the process I'd also like to solve some fundamental problems. More specifically, real estate. In a real game you would not be able to see any of the cards in great detail, but get an overall view of the board, and be able to inspect cards more closely by zooming and panning (over the whole board - I find Wotc's way of zooming on individual cards undesirable). This is even more critical when there are a lot of cards on the field eg some decks can blast tokens onto the field which number into the hundreds. I'm unsure how to approach this core problem in Clojure. clj- processing looks interesting, but I would prefer something more high level b/c 3d graphics is difficult for me to wrap my head around. In particular, mapping a mouse click to the nearest movable object in 3d space and ensuring proper draw updates on the object with dragging.... *head asplode* But I'm sure to be missing plenty.
