# 2023 Lisp Game Jam Entry
## "Game"

Yeah I don't have a good name yet.  I'm just playing around and trying to get characters on the screen right now.

## Dependencies

- chicken scheme (`csi`) with eggs:
  - r7rs
  - matchable
  - stty
- my ansi library, [yolk][]

[yolk]: https://git.acdw.net/yolk

## Running

Run `./game.scm` in this directory.

## License

Uh.. GPL I guess.  See COPYING for details.

## Development log

### 2023-05-29

- I've changed the basic logic from just throwing characters on the screen wherever to a vector-based approach.  I thought there was a multiple-dimensional vector egg or something, but I apparently was mistaken.  So I'm doing the ol' multiply-by-one-thing-and-add-another approach.
- Implementing collision detection was slightly easier than I thought it might
  be.
- Figuring out the vector bounds math was tricky... lots of "off-by-one" errors.  I suppose I've hit both of the main errors of computer science with this game, then.
- I encapsulated things in their own records (so far, `world`, `thing`, and `me` ... and `world` and `me` are parameterized) to keep stuff together.  I think this'll work... I hope!

### .. before

I started out by writing [yolk][], which has a bunch of procedures returning strings for terminal escapes.  NIH and all :)

Originally I had a big loop to just draw all the border stuff at once, then the character where I wanted it.  The character would erase itself and redraw as it moved, which worked fine ... for one object.

I was walking around when I realized I'd need to redo things.
