You're not getting any error messages on the console?

Re: Cannot run "Breakout" from sebity.com

Well, this is interesting. At least I learned something today. It's bugfuck nuts, but it's definitely something. See, the SDL_ListModes function—which is called by the code in question—has a return type of a pointer (specifically: a pointer to a pointer), but one of the possible return values is...

Re: Reading a file, store it and display it

You're using the extended form of LOOP, which requires each Lisp form or series of forms to be preceded by a keyword. WHILE is one such keyword, and DO is another—that's what you need here: (loop while (not (null ligne)) do (setq ligne (read-line str)) (setq dico (cons ligne dico))) Secondly, the ...

Re: Cannot run "Breakout" from sebity.com

Looks like this is the change (from December) that broke it:

The inc-pointer with -1 must not work with CLISP. Question is, what is that piece of code intended to do?

Re: Common Lisp HyperSpec

The HyperSpec's legal notices just say that they got "permission"—whatever that means. You'll want to read this page, on something called Project FreeSpec—lots of research there.

Re: Compiling all lisp files in a folder

I'm not familiar with Gendl, but this appears to be the relevant source code, if it helps: https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/gendl/gendl/blob/devo/cl-lite/source/cl-lite.lisp It says cl-lite expects to find Lisp files "in source/ subdirectories" and it takes keyword arguments specifying wheth...

Re: JSON Streaming API Design

Here's one way—make another macro and progressively shadow that with MACROLET, instead of JSON-ARR and friends—maybe this is what you meant by "Interpose a different symbol," but it's the simplest approach to my eyes. (defmacro json-with-comma (&body body) `(progn ,@body)) (defmacr...

Re: How many LISP books until...

Since that would amount to self-rewriting code, it's just a question of how you might take compiled code and convert each instruction to a higher-bit version. I don't know how far that could be automated, since I've written assembly language but I'm not familiar with the details of byte-level instru...

Re: encoding and decoding randomly

Well, I don't know how brute-force this is allowed to be, but brute force is all that comes to mind right now. My idea was to produce random alphabets until some of the words clicked with the dictionary, then recursively produce more alphabets while holding those letters—the ones so far matched—...

Re: How many LISP books until...

While the "bare metal" approach wouldn't preclude adopting a standard library of interface elements, this whole concern about UI inconsistency never excited me much. Why shouldn't different applications look different? It never bothered me that (say) Mentor Graphics on Solaris doesn't look...
