abuse VS ulisp

[2] https://github.com/videogamepreservation/abuse

Rogue, nethack, and Abuse come to mind, and then pretty much all the old id software stuff, along with the raven engine. These SDL tutorials might be of interest to you too, they are basically in the format of game sources with detailed explanations.

Abuse

I love his projects too. He's also the creator of uLisp.

Not CL, but there is ulisp (http://www.ulisp.com/) for microcontrollers, supposed to be really tiny, and there is Carp (https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp) which is without a GC so seems suitable for real-time stuff.

There's also ulisp (for Arduino projects etc.): http://www.ulisp.com/

This is larger, because there are functions for accessing peripherals, and the core is more standard lispy with 'caadr' et.al., and it has a compacting GC, so images can be saved as a compact blob.

You might consider uLisp, it's very Common Lispy for the memory constraints given (sans macros and splicing quote). And you can still connect to it and save an image. I've tried it and it works well enough. Here is the homepage.

Agreed - the interactivity is good. Lisp is close (have you seen http://www.ulisp.com/ - I can't believe they got into into that small a target!). Python is ok, but for some reason I don't use the REPL in the same way I do in Forth - I think calling functions is just harder somehow. Mostly is exploring valves from the Python REPL.
