Hello all,
Over the past few months I've been working on a 2D game programming
framework, called Guile-2D. My goal is to make game programming in
Guile enjoyable. There is much work to be done still, but I have
implemented many of the fundamental features.
Guile-2D is built on top of several libraries: SDL, OpenGL, FreeImage,
and FTGL. What this means is that Guile-2D takes advantage of hardware
accelerated rendering, loads images in many different formats, and
renders TTF format fonts.
Guile-2D also provides a custom REPL server that is compatible with
the game loop, and pleasant scripting functionality via coroutines.
For more information, see README.org. For installation instructions,
see INSTALL.org.
Tarball: http://dthompson.us/static/src/guile-2d-0.1.tar.gz
Git: https://github.com/davexunit/guile-2d
You can report bugs here or alternatively, on GitHub.
Last but not least: Happy 30th birthday, GNU!

Congrats! I'm more-or-less "hard at work" packaging related components,
needed to get it going via Guix! I just finished packaging FTGL, I'm
working on SDL right now and will hopefully get guile-sdl going
thereafter, and I'm just waiting for Guile-Figl -- but have no idea if
0.1 will be released before the hackathon is over. Either way, it's not
all-too far off.
In-general though, very cool and fun looking tech and in the coming
months, I'm really excited to play around with it.
Best regards,
Joshua "Youlysses" S. Grant
