[lisp-game-dev] Evil Slayer postmortem

[Shawn Betts]

Hi lisp gamers,

I started late and didn't have much time to work on my game. Using
lispbuilder-sdl I built an editor and the beginnings of a 2d side
scrolling hack'n'slash game. I thought I'd shoot for something like
castlevania as you can tell from the candles.

The code is pretty much garbage. I coded fast and furiously in my
limited time available without care for anything but git'n'r done. I
only got as far as a man who can run and jump around the level and I
only got collision detection on his feet. So he can walk through
walks. This is important to know if you wish to walk through the demo
level that I put together. In the demo your goal is to find your way
to the DANCE POTTY!

There are downloads for windows and osx. Sorry linux, you lose. You
might have to kick the code a bit to get it running; I built it
against outdated versions of lispbuilder-sdl.

Oh, in case you never played those old 2d games: press up to go in the doors.
