Does anyone know of crack dot com? I have just downloaded their game,
titled
"abuse" from a DOS games site.

The game seems to have been writen in Lisp, and has support for sound
and kickass graphics.
I have been meditating on XLisp myself, and I was going to -hopefully-
make
something similar to what they have already done. A Lisp for game and
graphics
programming.

I am not sure about the Lisp they used dialect used. Either the author
was too
lazy to create a full fledged Lisp, or he only knew about setq, defun,
if and
progn.

There is no macro system, but the author KNEW about macros (there are
a few
with-* funtions defined) The file version.lisp, which I think
implements the
version of the system, has only one exrpression (setq clive_version
1.2),
what is clive? I don't know.

If anyone knows wether this is a full game development platform, AND
is available for free OR purchase, please do let me know.
If Crack dot net was garbage collected by the economy, I am curious if
the
developers read this group or can tell us something about the system.

Thanks you.

P.S. Please don't e-mail me anything, my account was canceled ages
ago. But I
will try to get another one tomorrow.

They went out of business while trying to develop their second game
(Golgotha). That was years ago.

It uses a lisp as a scripting language, but it was mostly written in C++.
