Hey folks!

This thread is for those of us who joined up for the [Spring Lisp Game Jam 2024](https://itch.io/jam/spring-lisp-game-jam-2024) which just started today!

Post in this thread to let us know what you’re working on, give status updates, and share a link to your game page on [Itch.io](http://Itch.io) once its up. I’ll also try to keep a table of games that everyone is working on in this top post so that it’s easier to keep track.

</div>

I am translating [my old tetris clone](https://github.com/trevarj/dotris) from C99 into Guile Scheme using [guile-ncurses](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile-ncurses/). I’m hoping to learn Scheme and Guile better and see if I can convert some crufty C into a clean, concise Scheme script.

My project is _Bloatrunner_, a lode runner clone which I wanted to try to make like forever. I was planning to try Guile/Chickadee but maybe (against better judgment) I’ll try the guile/hoot project template. We’ll see.

Hey guys!  
I’m trying to build a millipede/centipede clone using guile and raylib

This is my first project in Guile and using emacs so I’m not sure how far I will get.

Code lives here: [GitHub - robjperez/lisp-game-1](https://github.com/robjperez/lisp-game-1) but right now is the ugliest thing ever 🙂
