Robert, The link you gave is, interestingly, quite helpful. (That's the non-404 version, because things got moved around, it seems.) I was ambivalent about using an emulator inside Wine (since I use Linux, and don't have much access

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

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
