Make a game with Hoot for the Lisp Game Jam!

Make a game with Hoot for the Lisp Game Jam!

[Thompson, David]

Hey Guilers,

The latest edition of the Lisp Game Jam [0] starts this Friday, May
17th! The Spritely Institute wants to encourage the Guile community to
try making HTML5 games using Hoot, a Scheme to WebAssembly compiler.
The jam lasts 10 days, spanning two weekends, and it's always a lot of
fun!

We've put together a ready-to-use game template project [1] so it's
easy to jump right in and start making games!

Read our blog post for all the details:

I hope some of you join in! Happy jamming!

- Dave

this web assembly/scheme/hoot is impressive.

I’m seriously considering to enter ☺

I’ve always wanted to make a graphical beat-em-up, and with Hoot I may
even be able to publish it in directly playable format on my website.
