On the future of clj3D

Hi to everyone,
I know that in more than a month, no new post have appeared on this blog (I apologies for this), but I’ve been busy with some cool university projects.
I’ve slowed down the developing of clj3D, for one main reason: the library needs a geometric kernel.
A geometric kernel ensure that for every shape you’ll draw on the screen, there will be a structure/data/objects representing it. Furthermore, we need a hierarchical structure, like an Hasse diagram. I will begin developing the geometric kernel as soon as possible, meanwhile be patient and explore the already-coded part of clj3D.
Bye!

The power of the big

Wow…

I’ve been quoted into a sort of report about F# and XNA development (Btw, I’ve only tweaked a bit a source code found on the net, just to learn a bit F# and XNA):

I’m really surprised due to the echo of F# and XNA all over the internet… I mean, I’ve spent hours playing and writing about other awesome functional languages (Haskell, Scheme, Common Lisp, Clojure) but I’ve never been quoted, because “Speaking about Common Lisp and other crazy stuff is not cool”. This is sad, really sad.

On the other side, I’m very proud of have been cited somewhere 😛 (despite I haven’t done nothing special)

Bye,

Alfredo

Enable AutoComplete.el for lisp-mode

I don’t know exactly why, but AutoComplete.el for Emacs doesn’t work by default for standard lisp-mode, so there is my tweak:

1) Copied the scheme-mode from .emacs.d/ac-dict to the same dir but renaming it lisp-mode
2) I’ve put the following into my .emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d")
(require 'auto-complete-config)
(add-to-list 'ac-dictionary-directories "~/.emacs.d/ac-dict")
(add-to-list 'ac-modes 'lisp-mode)
(ac-config-default)

The magic is provided by the line

(add-to-list 'ac-modes 'lisp-mode)

Hope this help 🙂
