Re: Penumbra vs. LibGDX
While I haven't tried libgdx myself, you should be able to do something like this: 1. Create a global namespace (or similar), which should contain global variables and/or functions that should never be reloaded. In this namespace you essentially put the things that there can only be one of - the app that you're talking about. 2. Use https://github.com/clojure/tools.namespace to reload your code. With this, as long as you don't change the global namespace, the app will never be reloaded. Again, I don't know if this will work for libgdx, but it sounds like it might. It's also not very idiomatic to use a global app, but since you can only have more than one, it should never be a problem. Of course, you will have to make sure that the old state is removed when restarting, but that should be manageable.

Totally agree that you lose the REPL with LibGDX. I'm writing another game now, although much if it is server side. I did however, discover that you can use Phonegap to write HTML5 applications and deploy them to Android, iOS. And if you can do that, you can write games with Clojurescript using the canvas.

Penumbra vs. LibGDX
Lately, I've been working on games with Clojure and LibGDX. However, many of the advantages of interactive development are not present, because LibGDX apps are built around Java development, and don't work well if you try to run multiple apps within a single program (i.e. from the REPL). Penumbra has this ability, but doesn't seem to be portable to other platforms (i.e. Android, HTML5), and doesn't have built-in Box2D support (although it can be added). If anyone has worked with one or both of these systems, can they suggest the pros and cons of using each. Furthermore, is it possible to use both? (i.e. have apps implemented in either penumbra or libgdx, but using the same opengl/box2d code in both) -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.
