[Chicken-users] January 2016 Lisp Game Jam

[John Croisant]

Attention CHICKEN game programmers,

There is a Lisp Game Jam coming up on January 1. You have 7 days to 
create a small game using any Lisp dialect, including CHICKEN Scheme. 
Think of it as a friendly, low-pressure opportunity to practice your 
game development skills and create something fun. CHICKEN has many game 
libraries and bindings, such as Allegro, Chipmunk, OpenAL, OpenGL, and 
SDL. Or you could create a text console game, or even a web browser game 
using awful and/or spock!


I will be participating, using the jam as an excuse to create another 
example game for the new sdl2 and sdl2-image eggs. I will also be 
hanging out in the #lispgames and #chicken IRC channels on freenode as 
much as I can during the jam, to answer anyone's questions about the 
sdl2 and sdl2-image eggs, and about game development in general. My IRC 
nickname is jacius.


You can find more info and join the jam at 
http://itch.io/jam/january-2016-lisp-game-jam . Don't forget to 
introduce yourself in the community forums. :)


Happy new year and happy jamming to all!

- John Croisant

Sly is much higher level than Allegro or SDL; it's probably most
comparable to Doodle or Hypergiant.

Has anybody tried guile's Sly? If so, how does it stack up to chicken's...
Variety of libraries?
