Bah! Windows emulator doesn't exist ( https://interlisp.org/medley/using/running/runnning-on-win ). Thanks very much for providing the video walkthrough!

Cool, thanks for sharing indeed! I enjoyed the entry on your devlog. It seems a bit like Lisp but with a Smalltalk environment? It struck me that it immediately evaluates a form (I guess only the top-level one?) without even pressing enter.

Yet Another Pacman CloneXerox designed both of those, so it's from the same company that pioneered Smalltalk. And it works in a similar way. I think they were being co-developed around the same time. Yes, The Programmers Assistant (REPL) enters an expression as soon as you close it off. If you type in a ] it will close it off immediately and finish all the parentheses.
I was able to run it after copying lisp.virtualmem to ~/il/medley and running medley without arguments.
It was interesting to try interlisp out :) The visible delay in rendering is annoying, but graphics is really great :D.
Hm. I can't seem to be able to load the memory file properly:
I load it with
./medley/medley/run-medley --vm-file lisp.virtualmem
Then I right click on desktop -> EXEC -> Intelisp
Open the INTERLISP Exec, but it doesn't contain any definitions, including the START-FIFTEEN function.
Am I doing something wrong?

WallerAfter I watched your video I installed medley and played around a bit. It’s mind blowing.

Bunny BuddiesHopefully you were able to load the memory file and try the fifteen game. :D
Yeah, it's a pretty interesting system! It has some "choices" for sure like making infix calculations work. (5 + 6) is a valid expression.
(* foo) is a comment, TIMES is the multiply command etc. Plenty of quirks I came across.
Ah, a lisp machine! I can't believe how foreign the OS feels compared to modern unix/windows, that makes one wonder what we'd be using today if the lisp machines had been a success.
Well done on taking the time to learn and write your game on such an odd system, it's great to be able to experiment with stuff we wouldn't normally get to touch.

Magnetic TrekI haven’t installed Medley, but I watched your video and man I loved it! It just made me remember why I love Lisps and how revolutionary they were and still are. Surely there are a lot of ideas to learn from that environment.
