1 Introduction

Some helpers that make livecoding at little easier with:

• slime/swank
• sly/slynk

Exposes:

#'update-repl-link

Call this function to get the server to handle requests. Put this in your main game/demo/etc loop to keep the repl live whist your code runs.

#'peek

A quick way of calling inspecting an object in your editor

continuable

A macro commonly used in livecoding to enable continuing when errors are raised. Simply wrap around a chunk of code and it provides a restart called 'continue' which ignores the error and carrys on from the end of the body. I usually wrap this around the code 'step' function in my main loop.

2 Systems

The main system appears first, followed by any subsystem dependency.

5.1.1 Macros

Macro: continuable &body BODY

Helper macro that we can use to allow us to continue from an error. Remember to hit C in slime or pick the restart so errors don’t kill the app.

Function: update-repl-link ()

Usually, when called from within the main loop, this keep the lisp repl working while cepl runs, however this is a no-op as neither swank nor slynk were detected
