@thias I guess when I say unicode compared to ascii, I'm refering to ⟶ using a large subset of unicode for mathematics in programming in the same way as supporting other languages, which is a bit of an unreasonable expectation I guess. Obviously ascii predates unicode.I somewhat expect CJK language text entry to be different, because you need a strategy for describing what character you want in logographic languages. In particular I had an unreliable time getting CJK entry on free OSes.

@simon_brooke As a young child I remember (indirectly, now) getting confused about which way the book opens and the words go when I was learning to write, the teacher explaining to me that one homework was a reflection of what was meant to have happened. Ways children would-have-wrote except for their schooling would be some interesting psychology.@vi_zzyzx

@vnikolov Oh yeah we will but I figured I can't get that /during this jam/.So one point of difference between my Leonardo system [] software-individuals of agents and Breitenbergian agents is that for the ones I am making, control is meant to end up in a BDI system (which can be made to reflect different game theoretic strategies) rather than in a human.@ksaj

@vnikolov Game theory that abutts what I was doing. If there are no plants, no more plants will grow. So an insect might adopt the strategy to /not/ eat a plant, even though it could. But another insect might eat the plant a moment later instead, so to maximize value in the moment... It would be interesting to see different complexes of game theory strategies. I'm not sure about insects remembering each other interaction to interaction though.@ksaj

@ksaj Yes, sorry I didn't finish it yet, I don't actually know how Breitenberg finishes combining Vehicles. (Flocks of agents?)Also you severely overestimate how practical the things I would do if I had a million dollars are. What's symbolics' stock price ;p@vnikolov

#programming #gamedev #devlog #lisp Snapshotting current probabilities as colors game mechanic https://screwlisp.small-web.org/lispgames/color-likert-probabilities/ #engineering #likertscale #lispgamejam After @vnikolov @ksaj @dougmerritt @kakafarm were chattering about conway's game of life and how sophisticated flocking dynamics were possible,Here I introduced the idea of the player altering probabilities and snapshotting them as a color. So a pink plant, pink insect, pink bird have one probability likert scale, blue, another.

#programming #gamedev #devlog #commonLisp #series #lazyEvaluation #functionalprogramming https://screwlisp.small-web.org/lispgames/cl-series-for-game-logic/ #lispgamejam Since cl-series generates native common lisp code by working at macro expansion time, I consider it suitable for my software individuals (who want only clos-less common lisp and their own logic (which they have an introspective theory of).In particular, I use series to 'cut out' rectangular sub- sequence of sequences -s.

@me actually, I'm unaware of(setq result (((format "%s" cell) . n) . result))being a permissable form. It looks like(setq result `((,(format "%s" cell) . ,n) . ,result))to me but I might be wrong. Does it fix the problem or did you have another insight?

@me Another thing is that you've used eq. Those strings aren't ever going to be eq which means "literally the same thing". You probably meant equal.

@me very cool to see you doing this elisp! By the way, I am a total convert to eev-mode and eepitch.

@me what does org table source look like by the way? I normally pass org tables into org source blocks (where they become s-expressions in lisp), but I'm not sure what the tables look like internally to org.

@me further about eq in common lisp at least, I've seen people make a mistake before- when you compile code, if you referred to "" twice, in common lisp compilers are allowed to coalesce them at which point they /will/ be eq. (Eq would be a good test to see if they /had/ been coalesced). But in the general case two strings entered in different places are not eq.

@me it is very exciting!commas have to appear inside backticks, and backticks are just quotes that can have certain things inside of them unquoted (using a comma).Macros to a large extent work like this because one principle of lisp is that lisp code be regular lisp sequences. At read time, the function names are just symbols. So it's a list of symbols/atoms and lists.However, sometimes we /do/ want to run some code, hence backtick and comma/unquote.
