NicCLIM is a map editor application made with Common Lisp Interface Manager!

Alpha!?

All three alpha release article links and collected pictures/gifs.

High Level description

https://lispy-gopher-show.itch.io/nicclim/devlog/1038019/notes-about-nicclim-com...

Normally start like this:

1. Download `~/Downloads/nicclim.lisp` (Press download now, above) then

• (setq inferior-lisp-program "ecl") 
• (slime) 
• (setq eepitch-buffer-name "*slime-repl ECL*") 
(ensure-directories-exist #p"~/GAME/") 
(uiop:chdir "~/GAME/") 
(uiop:chdir "~/GAME/") 
(ql:quickload :mcclim) 
(compile-file "~/Downloads/nicclim.lisp" :load t) 
(in-package :nicclim)

Read some of the articles or something. Clearly I'm using eev-mode emacs, slime and ecl. 

MAIN starting/demo 

on my blog:  https://gamerplus.org/@screwlisp/115245557313951212

Now featuring: Spacetime, unicode

previously

v2 added (do command lists, do host lisp apply, current player get/put in symbol keys) see https://screwlisp.small-web.org/lispgames/trying-nicclim-v2/

Original notes, in case you wanted to see back in time:

It's a prototype! A text file (well, sexp file) is loaded and sits in the top right. Menus or hotkeys are used to modify the grid, commands being written on the left.

Starting that

As well as the map editor, there are some functions for creating, modifying and extracting rectangles from files.

Instructions

1. Download nicclim.lisp from here.

2. Have lisp / emacs / slime / eev set up like my introduction here

3. Install quicklisp from https://quicklisp.org

4. In nicclim.lisp tap F8 (eev-mode) on these lines at the top of the file:

#|
;; emacs eepitch lines.
• (setq inferior-lisp-program "ecl")
• (slime)
• (setq eepitch-buffer-name "*slime-repl ECL*")
(ql:quickload :McCLIM)
(in-package :clim-user)
(compile-file "~/Downloads/nicclim.lisp" :load t)
;; Trying it.  
(nic:rect-file "test.txt" 3 8 '(te st))  
"test.txt"  
(nic:cat *)  
(nic:horizontal-cat ** ** "hcat.txt")  
(nic:cat "hcat.txt")  
(nic:enclose-map "hcat.txt")
|#

Making a file, and horizontally catting it.

Opening it in the editor and inserting a ! somewhere

Overwriting the file

Help

You can reach out here butthe mastodon is probably better.

Both to seek help and to offer it!
