When I first a real binary clock at ThinkGeek
I was excited:
http://www.thinkgeek.com/cubegoodies/lights/59e0/
Years ago, I did a very simple JavaScript application
put some radiobuttons, arranged them so that I had
a simple binary clock in my browser.
Then somehow I lost the source code.
Last Wednesday, when I was on TV show, we had
a special guest from USA, visiting Turkey and
he showed a binary wristwatch in action!
http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/watches/6a17/
I said to myself, well, this can be simulated
in JScript, this can look cool in Flash but
why not do a simple-stupid-ascii-primitive
Common Lisp trial?
So, in order to have 5 minute CL daily exercise
I've written (minutes spent to leard forced/finished
output doesn't count :))
(defun binary-clock () (loop (bc) (sleep 1) (force-output)))
(defun bc ()
(multiple-value-bind (second minute hour) (get-decoded-time)
(format t "As time goes by one by one...~%")
(format t "~4,'0b~%~4,'0b~%~4,'0b~%~4,'0b~%~4,'0b~%~4,'0b~%~%"
(floor (/ hour 10.0)) (rem hour 10)
(floor (/ minute 10.0)) (rem minute 10)
(floor (/ second 10.0)) (rem second 10))))
Nothing much, just to have some very simple multiple value, format,
arithmetic exercise to have each and every second:
CL-USER> (binary-clock)
As time goes by one by one...
0001
1001
0000
1001
0001
0010
As time goes by one by one...
0001

As time goes by one by one...
0001
1001
0000
1001
0001
0101
; Evaluation aborted
CL-USER>
Maybe if the output matrix is transposed and some _s
and Os used it can look cooler, or maybe it can
be implemented using CLIM or some kind of GTK
binding to have a small graphics window ticking
slowly in some corner of the screen.
And yes, maybe the code can better, optimized,
etc.
I don't know why Lisp is starting to look more
and more "natural" to me everyday, maybe my
point of view is getting a bit biased, skewed.
Happy hacking,
PS: Heh, if I or some other Lisp enthusiast can
make a small hack and create a small-window-but-graphical
binary clock application in Lisp, maybe I'll have another
chance to talk about Lisp on TV :)
Oh, yes, somebody did something on SourceForge
(how could it be otherwise! :))

I think a fairly advanced use of format is happening
here. (First time I see such a complicated function
to be used in a format control string, I must check
out Seibel's format recipes again).
Time to go and refresh my knowledge and learn something
by consulting my books.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn more.
I'll also try to find out if it the same effect
can be realized using a simpler scheme, maybe writing
to a string using with-output-to-string and then
printing it.

Of course, if you have only one use for such a format it would be
silly to design it this way. But you can can use format-bits
directly if you want, so since you'd have to write it anyway, you can
as well use this function signature to be able eventually to use it as
a format specifier.
The interesting part is actually: (format t ··@{~4:/format-bits/~%~}~%" ...)
where we can see some more abstracting in action.
If you had to use it a lot in an application.

This is my simple binary clock. It uses opengl (via cl-sdl package).
Enjoy.

I really wondered how it will look on my system, so first I did
an apt-get:
apt-get install cl-sdl-opengl
and it ran fine on my Debian GNU/Linux (unstable), installing cl-sdl, too.
Then I copy-pasted your code and tried to compile it with SBCL 0.9.2
but it gave me these errors and warnings:

Any suggestions? What should I check? Do I need to upgrade
some packages for Debian GNU/Linux?
This is the first time I try Lisp+OpenGL, maybe I forgot
to install or setup something.
Happy hacking,

I don't see a libGL.so.1.2 in that list. It looks like a dangling
symlink. On my box (not deb. testing, pre x.org X) xlibmesa-gl provides
that file. Or just run ldconfig and try your luck.

Strange thing is that, first I tried these:
debian:/home/fz# apt-get install xlibmesa-gl
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
xlibmesa-gl is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 629 not upgraded.
debian:/home/fz# apt-get install xlibmesa-gl-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
xlibmesa-gl-dev is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 629 not upgraded.
because Debian package website says that ligGL.so.1.2
is part of xlibmesa-gl as you mentioned.
Then I also tried to ldconfig, without getting any errors.
Still no /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 :(
Is there any hope to use that OpenGL and SDL stuff from within
Common Lisp?

Now I'm able to run your code (after some symbolic linking struggle
in Debian [thanks goes to BM for excellent, wise and patient round
the midnight tech support]).
Nice tiny app. :) to keep on tickin' at some
corner of the screen.
BTW, having "circle-shaped" LEDs would look much
nicer I guess (similar to what we see at ThinkGeek
watches and clocks). ;-)
Happy hacking,

Not only does he get tech support, Emre also gets his wishes tonight.
Here's the little hack he got:
(let ((quadric-ht (make-hash-table :test #'equal)))
(defun draw-led (x y on/off)
(flet ((make-led (x y)
(let ((tl (gethash (list x y) quadric-ht)))
(if tl tl
(setf (gethash (list x y) quadric-ht)
(glu:new-quadric))))))
(gl:color-3f 0f0 (if on/off 1f0 0.5f0) 0f0)
(gl:push-matrix)
(gl:translate-f (float x) (float y) 0.0)
(glu:partial-disk (make-led x y) 0.0d0 (float *led-size* 0.0d0) 32 1 0.0d0 360.0d0)
(gl:pop-matrix))))
Dunno how this fits in with the rest of the code, but it seems to work
OK. (There doesn't seem to be a glu:disk in my cl-sdl. That's how partial
disk got in there.)

Thanks. It fits well. Now I know how to draw a circle using GL.
