RE: Let me try once more
I'm not talking about a pet project here, or scientific experiments
that utilize 1000's of hours of computer time to evolve some code to
determine the personality traits of one person..
I'm talking about, high speed graphics based games utilizing AI bots
that can learn and evolve from the opponents it defeates and loses
against..
As far as I know, Lisp does not accomplish that..
Despite that, I'm certainly not interested in learning Lisp..
I code with the goal of making games and such, these require some level
of high speed graphics..
from what I know of Lisp, that's not what it is meant for..
Lisp is for number crunching..
Like Basic..
I wouldn't go and use basic to code a market domoinating game..
Eu DOES have that potential though. (Notice I said POTENTIAL, not
ABILITY)
I know that C wouldn't achieve this either but, how else could I
possibly combine the 2 languages?
