Hi Erik and welcome to the list!<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 5:03 AM, Erik Winkels <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aerique@xs4all.nl">aerique@xs4all.nl</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I just noticed this mailinglist in #lispgames' topic, so I ran to the<br>
sign-up form.<br>
<br>
So a minor introduction: I'm a 35-year old guy from a nice little town<br>
called Delft in The Netherlands. It's in-between Rotterdam and The<br>
Hague. I've got a girlfriend, a 3-year old kid and a second one<br>
scheduled for the 30th of December. I've also got a full-time job<br>
maintaining some legacy software (rather that than Java) in The Hague.<br>
All that combined leaves little time for Lisp hacking so if you're<br>
wondering why my projects progress so slowly (or why I take a long time<br>
to reply to an e-mail): here's why :-)<br>
<br>
CL and games have always seemed a good combination to me and I started<br>
with cl-sdl in 2001[1]. Although after Matthew Danish took over I think<br>
they switched to some Finnish guy's code. AFAIK it is not maintained<br>
anymore and you're better off with Lispbuilder-SDL. (This is in reply<br>
to an earlier message I saw in this list's archives.)<br>
<br>
Currently my main project is Okra[2] which are CL bindings to the<br>
Ogre[3] 3D engine (which is just a rendering engine, not a game<br>
engine!). Ogre has been getting popular lately and there are several<br>
commercial games released using it, off the top of my head: Torchlight,<br>
Zombie Driver and Sacraboar.<br>
<br>
While you'll often see me ask questions about Windows on #lisp or<br>
complaining about it on my blog, I actually hate the OS with a passion<br>
and my main development environment is and always has been Unix.<br>
<br>
That's about it.<br>
