  • Hello, looking for well tested, well documented game development library for lisp with 2d/3d graphics. i found a bunch of sdl, and opengl libraries here (unfortunatlly no webgl libraries) and i dunno which to choose from. Also I'm going to be honest and say that I'm very new to lisp (outside emacs lisp), but i think its just a fun hobby project to learn both lisp and graphics and i hope by the end of this ill have a simple antiyoy clone.

  • play-cljc

  • https://github.com/oakes/play-cljc i was wrong lol

  • cl-raylib

    Common Lisp binding of raylib

  • For something small and quick, check out cl-raylib. The C documentation should translate pretty well. Just change names from PascalCase to kebab-case. The bindings are not very ergonomic for advanced use cases but basic drawing and input works great.

  • cepl

    Code Evaluate Play Loop

  • CEPL is great for something more advanced.

  • calm

    Calm down and draw something, in Lisp.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
