  • paip-lisp

    Lisp code for the textbook "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming"

  • For Common Lisp, there are several free books available:

    - Practical Common Lisp (aimed at people who know how to program in a more mainstream language already) [1]

    - Paradigms in Artificial Intelligence Programming (my personal favorite) [2]

    - Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation (aimed at absolute beginners of programming) [3]

    I highly recommend the r/lisp reddit community. Reddit as a platform has its issues, but the (Common) Lisp community there is very responsive and very helpful.

    Lastly, you might be interested in checking out a game written entirely in Common Lisp, to be released imminently on Steam. It's called Kandria, and it's effectively 100% Lisp. [4]

    Along those lines there is a classic side scroller with mouse aiming called Abuse[1] that was written in Lisp. The source code is in the public domain now[2].
