GameLisp is a scripting language forRust game development.

To get started, take a look at thehomepage. Please note that GameLispcurrently requires the latest version ofnightly Rust.

Update, March 2022: My game project is on hold, meaning that GameLisp is not currently underactive maintenance. Due toissue #36, theglspcrate will fail to compile when using nightly Rust toolchains newer than 30th September 2021.Apologies for any inconvenience!

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome. All contributions submitted for inclusion in the workwill be dual-licensed as described below, with no additional terms or conditions.

Short-term goals for the language, in descending order of priority:

• Fixissue #36
• Add test suite
• Add syntax-highlighting for more text editors
• Report the location of mismatched parentheses when parsing
• Work off some technical debt
  • Make gc timing more consistent when"unsafe-internals" is disabled
  • Optimizeforn, collections, objects, and the write-barrier
  • Forbid names likeiter from being bound as local variables
• Add built-in functions for debugging
  • Convenient functions for running a REPL in-game
  • Some level of support for hotloading
• Audit the crate's integer conversions and overflow (e.g.usize as u32 casts)
• Add multiple-value operations for theDequeOps trait, likeset_slice andstarts_with
• Add bindings to theregex andchrono crates, behind feature flags
• Experiment with reflection, raw classes or metaclasses, as potential replacements for mixinsand classmacros
