Re: trying Chickadee

[Zelphir Kaltstahl]

On my system Chickadee seems to build fine with the usual configure,
make, make install. However I want to mention something, which might
indicate a problem.

When I run the example code:

~~~~~
(use-modules (chickadee)
             (chickadee math vector)
             (chickadee render sprite)
             (chickadee render texture))

(define sprite #f)

(define (load)
  (set! sprite (load-image "logo.png")))

(define (draw alpha)
  (draw-sprite sprite (vec2 256.0 176.0)))

(add-hook! load-hook load)
(add-hook! draw-hook draw)

(run-game)
~~~~~

It works and the sprite is rendered, however, one core is used to 100%.
I guess the game loop is rendering the sprite over and over again in a
non-updated position.

Another thing is, that I cannot click the close button of the window
that renders the sprite. I guess because I do not handle the closing
event in this example code. I need to close it by C-c C-c in my Eshell.

Aside from that it seems to work fine. I would like to see development
in 2D game engines for Guile. I imagine minimalistic libraries / game
engines and Guile to be a powerful combination! I always wanted to make
a game (like probably most people in CS :D). Maybe with Guile and
Chickadee or similar I can grab some new motivation. So far I have not
tried to build anything complex with Chickadee, but maybe it is already
possible. I think it would be cool to have a page listing projects using
Chickadee, even if those projects are not done or only proofs of concepts.

Thanks!
