Please, 

1. use more understandable language. this is Lisp, not
   assembly language...

2. remove blank lines and commented out lines

3. don't use comments that do not add any information (e.g.,
   "body of let" - but that is already plain and true, by
   definition)

4. use the normal indentation space for Elisp, in `elisp-mode'
   two spaces

5. again, don't use `setq' in function bodies when there is no
   need, you already have the vars in let*, do all computation
   there (add more vars if necessary, for clarity, even)

I'm not saying this to be disrespectful, instead trust me that
it will bring your game up A LOT and also people will be more
likely to communicate with you - more, but also better since
you help not only yourself but also anyone reading and
possibly using your code...
