I always start off by building a level editor, then I build the game on top of it.

It makes doing real time modifications to levels much easier than importing levels from Tiled!

Press [ctrl-tab] to check it out!

Next step, get parallax working in the editor

@ThePrimeagen I'd check out the Prince of Nothing series. That said, it might not be appropriate for your kids.

For the lisp game jam this year I made a little tower defence game.

My twist was that the enemies would take the shortest path to N targets. Spoilers, people did NOT love this!

I've just pushed a patch that adds flow field visualisation

Put together a blog on my approach to handling persistence when hotloading fennel modules in love2d.

It has an accompanying love2d project to test out the approach for yourself, which includes an example watcher utility.

Lisp Game Jam is going well. So far I am only a little distracted writing a 1 bit tile editor...

@ludwigABAP Sounds like the career progression of every Russian Orthodox Priest. Engineer -> Mathematician -> Priest

Made a little static site with all the #lispGameJam submissions going back to 2016.

Of course the generator was custom built with Emacs and elisp.
