The development setup was pretty good.The edit-compile-run cycle was setup pretty nicely and when the program started to grow it remained the same. The program grew modularly. It started with simply creation and switching to the game buffer and then standalone interactive functions that can be executed and the results can be viewed immediately on the game buffer. The function names were meaningful. This was a fun way to introduce to elisp.
Very nicely done-I like the progression where you start at the higher levels and then descend into the details. Wish I'd seen this 10 years ago as it ties together so many aspects of writing in elisp. Nice followons would be to add pixmaps for the player characters and to write tests in ERT.
This is a wonderful tutorial for people new to elisp like myself. It's spoken well, the setup is friendly and unintimidating and individual steps are shown.
@@alexstone691 Yes, it is cool and fun. Some of my third semester students implement a lisp in a small project in the course Algorithms and Data structures. :-)

This should be recommended to newbies starting learning Elisp. Well done, I enjoyed it
Followed this video and coded my first game in emacs. Good stuff! Thanks!

Well, I got the joke at 1:23 even if the audience didn't.
Would it be possible to annotate what the peanut gallery is saying? I can't hear them.
They're saying "Pay attention to me! I think I'm more important than the presenter!" Y'aint missing nuthin.
Nice. Abbreviate tic-tac-toe with ttt to avoid too much typing and some line wrappings.
it's elisp... has to be t-t-t-
/s
Thanks for demo!!
How about global thermonuclear war ?
Something is seriously wrong with the audio cause y'all making the speaker sound like Kermit the frog. Totally not cool.
no thanks, i find lisp too damn complicated
Learn lisp anyway.
Update 2 weeks later: I love it
