By the way: Whats the size of a minimal runrev-app for windows standalone? Is it small like newLISP? ;-) Not so small. I don't know what the actual memory use is, but on disk the minimum is about 3MB I believe. Revolution doesn't compile conditionally. There's one engine file, and everything is in ...

I've been away for over a month. I hadn't thought about newLISP much during that time. I happened to think of newLISP tonight, though, so I came here to the forum. I re-read the suggestions here. I opened TextWrangler. (Not TextMate) I pasted in the runTK code. I pasted in the swarm code. I zapped g...

Revolution is certainly cool - I tried it for a while, and I'd certainly consider choosing it if I ever had to develop a cross-platform application with a user interface. (And if someone else paid for licenses :-)) newLISP is a very different animal, complementary more than similar in any way. I fi...

Any updates to either newlisp or text wrangler? Nope. Does a simple hello world program no longer work at all? Does it work with any other language (eg Perl, Ruby)? I'm happy to help, but there's not much information... I'll try this when I get home today. Maybe I'm just committing some stupid mist...

If you've read the previous messages in this thread, you know Lutz admonished me for not using newLISP through Terminal. I've been doing it using Text Wrangler, which has a Run command that works nicely and puts the results into a separate window. In response, I told Lutz that i preferred working ou...

Some comments: Any advanced use of newLISP (or any other scripting language) demands learning the basic UNIX commands in the Terminal application. Excutiing a file out of a text editor is practical during progragram development, but not much else (advanced Emacs and Vi users would object ;) ) Try a...

Have you tried to run the programs without combining, as described here? http://newlisp.org/index.cgi?Tips_and_Tricks Lutz Yes, with no luck. I have no idea: -- What file name to save the runtk code as. -- Where to save that file. -- What to do then. I tried: -- Saving it as runtk (with no file ext...

I'm trying to use runtk to call tk, and getting an error. Here's the error: invalid function : (map set '(myin tcout) (pipe)) Thanks for any help -- Geoff This is the code I tried to run. It's a combination of the runtk file with the swarm example code. #!/usr/bin/newlisp ; setup communications t...

I'm using TextMate 1.5.3 and trying to install the newLISP syntax bundle. Whnever I drag the bundle onto TextMate I get a dialog that says, "Bundle is Corrupt." Specifically the info.plist file is corrupt, it says, or missing.

Any ideas what I might be doing/not doing?

thanks,

I looked in the documentation and didn't see anything related to playing sounds, either resources or external files. Is there a way to do this?

thanks,

Out of curiosity (since I barely understand newLISP, let alone macros) I tried extending the example with a synonym: (set 'From 0 'To 1 'Subject 2 'Body 3 'Through 4 'Using 4) After that modification, I could make it work with either Through or Using for the server name. So it would be possible to a...

Has anyone put together libraries for tying in to Tk to create a user interface? I'm thinking of something that shields a poor simpleton like me from having to learn any Tcl along with trying to shove newLISP into my brain. I'm thinking of something that would take (tk-newwidget windowid widgettype ...

After doing some research, a signiifcant portion of the difference came down to the arrays I used. Revolution uses associative arrays only. Even if you use x[1], x[2], x[3] etc., Revolution is still using associative arrays. Thus something simple like (set 'x (prisonerArray x))) can be up to 9 times...

Wouldn't this make more sense in defining a sum-of-squares routine?
Yes, absolutely, the example has been kept simple for didactic purposes.

Thanks, just making sure I wasn't missing something.

The examples given for the use of (let are leaving me confused. I think I understand what (let is for, but in the context of the example, isn't it unnecessary? (define (sum-sq a b) (let ((x (* a a)) (y (* b b))) (+ x y))) (sum-sq 3 4) → 25 (define (sum-sq a b) ; alternative syntax (let (x (* a a) y ...

Oops, I meant 'no' continue, not 'now' continue, I corrected my previous post Lutz ps: I am not a native English speaker, so sometimes I get 'phonetic' ;) This time through, I saw your edited post first. I saw "there is no continue" and said, "wait a second, didn't that say "now?" I wondered how I ...

gcanyon

Yes, there is now 'continue' or 'repeat next' in newLISP loops. Over time you get acustomed to program in a functional style, using 'if', 'cond' etc. to control the flow. All loop constructs in newLISP like 'dotimes', 'for' and 'dolist' can have a break expression to leave the loop early. Then ther...

In general, it seems newLISP is pretty fast, and intended to be so. I compared an implementation of my first solution in newLISP to an implementation of the same concept in Revolution, which I have used for several years. The code for each is included below. The interesting point is that even though...

In my experience with other languages I'm used to being able to do this: repeat with i = 1 to 10 #do step a if i = 5 then next repeat #do step b end repeat This means that for i = 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 the code does both step a and step b. For i = 5, the code only does step a, and then skips on to i = ...

Thanks Lutz, I'll chose somewhat from it. gcanyon: "arrays" doesn't helps to store a values. U may store a list as well. This construct is for assigning the list's elements to some sepatate symbols at once. Examine a manual about a "map" function. I understand (in a basic way) how map works, but I'...

From time to time I using the construction (map set '(a b c ...)

As for the rest - we're a tolerant bunch, and if it works for you, cool! newLISP is flexible enough to allow you to write how you like, to some extent, and to use any sort of formatting and commenting you prefer. There isn't a right way...! (Although there sometimes is a faster way. And sometimes a...

Is there a better way to do an if than this: #if the prisoner has already been included in a list, go next (until (prisonerDoneList i) (good suggestions snipped) I'm not sure which one you need here, though.
