<dthompson>it's not much of a game, more of a tech demo

<dthompson>it's a small multiplayer world

<spew>that's really neat

<dthompson>the server falls apart after awhile, unfortunately

<spew>like life

<dthompson>I have to keep restarting it, and we lose all state when we do that because I didn't implement world persistence

<dthompson>but it's fun for a few moments :)

<spew>great job

<dthompson>thanks for stopping by goblinville

<spew>it was very nice

<spew>I'm thinking of trying to port goblins/ocapn to a lisp I've been working on

<dthompson>oh? what lisp is that?

<spew>StreetLISP

<spew>it's a fork of femtolisp

<spew>one of it's main objectives is to work very well on 9front, and so I'm thinking how nice it would be to have distributed computing on 9front

<dthompson>oh interesting

<dthompson>wait what's 9front?

<spew>a plan9 fork that is actively developed

<ehmry>unrelated, if there is to be a non-lisp port I recommend Tcl. we have a syndicated actors port in Tcl and it's been useful

<ehmry>it's quite portable, 9front doesn't have Tcl but it wouldn't be one of the difficult languages to port

<ehmry>probably not as portable as streetlisp though

<ehmry>at its core

<dthompson>I don't remember how the "syndicated" part differs from the actor model I'm familiar with

<fantazo>spew: has StreetLisp a lot of street cred? ;-)
