A while back I decided to try to write a Game Boy emulator in Common Lisp based on this series of articles . I made some good progress but eventually got bogged down because I was trying to learn a bunch of complex new things at once:
The August 2016 Lisp Game Jam just wrapped up at the end of last week. I had some free time so I decided to take part, but I did something a bit different. Instead of making a new game I ported an existing one ( Silt ) to Common Lisp.
