Here is a new (corrected) version of the "NewLISP Turtle", if there is no objection ;) with an example (another recursive tree) : #!/usr/bin/newlisp ;========================================================================= ; Turtle Graphics (NewLISP + GUI-server) - A recursive tree ; ; NewLISP v9.2...

(I haven't enough time too, so I will write articles like a tech documentation (just for my knowledge, like a personal archive...)

I prefer the site in italian ... I can't speak or write italian but I can understand this beautiful language. It's a "cousin" of mine ;)

P.S.: I'd like to create a site like this in french, but I've no time to do it ...

I think newLISP is unique in returning the last element for indices greater than the length of the list. Unique but not consistent. :-) Of course newLisp is the best programming language on earth, but I am still curious why this decision was made. If an index is counting backwards it wraps around a...

I really like your scripts, NewDep :)
Merry Xmas to you too.

I do have a question about your constructors. Since the values of the symbols np , ne , nn , etc. are lost with the completion of the constructor, why not this? (define (Atome:Atome nat) ; nat=atomic number (list Atome nat nat nat (table nat 1))) Or if you want to document the attributes: (define (...

Fine and funny :D
Thanks

Fantastic movie ! I can't wait for Chapter 2 ! It made me want to put into practice at once with this little script (inspired by a Python script): #!/usr/bin/newlisp ; newlisp 2.9.7 - dec 2007 ; This script creates objects 'Atom' and 'Ion'. ; A ion is just an altered atom. So the class 'Ion' ; is de...

Well done and
thanks for this brainwave !
:)

FOOP is really an interesting and original manner to consider OOP. It reminds me of Elica NOOP (Natural OOP or "Easy" OOP) ... I always had trouble managing this 'self' (or 'this') in Python or in other languages using '"classical" OOP. With FOOP, I think it's an unnecessary shortcut which risks mak...

Nice :)
It works on WinXP in any case.

The info-text in the text-pane is not correctly layed out : first character of each line is hidden... but scripts are well displayed.

Usefull tool.

I was (and I'm still) a fan of Logo and I wanted to learn Lisp, the "forerunner" of Logo, but didn't find a Lisp that satisfied me (neither CLisp, nor XLisp, etc...). So I tried Scheme, a little too complex for me and too "heavy" in its implementation. I tried Python, simpler but still so heavy. And...

Thanks for those insructive replies :) (that I store at once) I forgot a little that I must view an object as a list (rather than as a context). Now all is clearer for me. I see the the logic of the thing ! Moreover objects p1 and p2 are distinct even if they are equal, in relation to their coordina...

I want to create two distinct objects from the same class. I can do it with context but I don't manage with FOOP. Examples : (context 'Point) (set 'x 0 'y 0) (context MAIN) (new Point 'p1) (set 'p1:x 3 'p1:y 4) (new Point 'p2) (set 'p2:x 3 'p2:y 4) (println (= p1 p2)) ; => nil : p1 and p2 are two di...

We are free to use any frameworks we wish in newLISP, including Fanda's. The problem with frameworks is they must be included (and maintained). So far, I've managed to get by without a framework. Yes I agree. This was a dilemna for me before... here: http://newlisp.org/index.cgi?page=newLISP-FOOP I...

Hi newBert! Your code uses the earlier context-based way of doing OOP, which was found to have weaknesses. I was aware of the weakness of my code. It was an adaptation of what I learnt about OOP through Python first. I like your version which is closer to the "newLISP spirit" than mine (which is pe...

Very good - clear and direct! I wondered whether the first (context MAIN) was needed. But in fact I think it demonstrates that (context 'square) isn't part of context rectangle although it inherits from it, neither is it a nested context (which don't exist...). So leaving it in is good! Yes, it was...

In chapter 17 of the NewLISP Manual (Object-Oriented Programming in newLISP) polymorphism is described clearly and simply. That shows how NewLISP can adapt easily to apparently complex things... I studied, with my poor knowledge and competence in computer science, the notion of inheritance and here ...

Thanks !
Now it's running again on Win32 ... End of panic :-)

Fine and usefull, the new GUI-server functions gs:window-moved and gs:window-resized.

how do I create a bigger mandala? increasing the width and height did not had any effect, its nicely hidden, I like to see thison full screen ;-) Norman, I think we can do it now with version 9.2.7 and the (gs:window-resized) function, adding these two procedures in the previous script : (gs:window...

All colors are defined with folating point numbers decimal separator as a point in guiserver.lsp. But your UTF-8 enabled version expects a comma. Put this as your very first statement in your program: (set-locale "C") This will switch back to a point as a separator in your location. Development ver...
