GSHMUP
A bullet hell shooter written in C and Guile.
This is an experiment to write a small game that uses the GNU extension language, Guile, for configuration and event scripting.
Lua is often the go-to language for game scripting, but I wanted to try something different.
Try it
make
./gshmup
Refer to module/gshmup/init.scm for keybindings and other configuration.
For those feeling more adventurous, Gshmup runs a REPL server. Connect using Geiser in Emacs and have fun manipulating the game as it is running.
Dependencies
- Allegro >= 5.0
- GNU Guile >= 2.0
