Can not make tutorial working

[anquegi]

Hi I load sketch and sketch-example,
first my machine OSX EL Capitan description, slime and roswell:

CL-USER> (lisp-implementation-type)
"Clozure Common Lisp"
CL-USER> (lisp-implementation-version)
"Version 1.11-r16635 (DarwinX8664)"

when I load sketch it works and also when samples are working

CL-USER> (ql:quickload :sketch-examples)
To load "sketch-examples":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    sketch-examples
; Loading "sketch-examples"

(:SKETCH-EXAMPLES)
CL-USER> (make-instance 'sketch-examples:hello-world)
#<SKETCH-EXAMPLES:HELLO-WORLD #x30200289FC0D>

also the other examples work well

but when I try teh sample tutorial in the readme:

CL-USER> (ql:quickload :sketch)
To load "sketch":
  Load 1 ASDF system:
    sketch
; Loading "sketch"

(:SKETCH)
CL-USER> (in-package :sketch)
#<Package "SKETCH">
SKETCH> (defsketch tutorial ())

gives the sldb output:

(TUTORIAL

So I d not know if this is an error in the tutorial, of course the main problem is that I do not know enouch common lisp and sketch particullary

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Thanks for trying Sketch!

The tutorial is being written for the current Sketch version, in which defsketch is changed to (defsketch sketch-name bindings &body body) - these changes will hit Quicklisp's next release. Until then, please clone the repo to ~/quicklisp/local-projects, along with https://github.com/lispgames/cl-sdl2 and
https://github.com/lispgames/sdl2kit.

I'm going to update the README in a moment to communicate this until the next Quicklisp release is up.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[anquegi]

Ok, thanks for this advice and for programming this nice library. I will try it

[anquegi]

Only to confirm that things work well with the current version.

Finally I would like to say thanks again for this nice library

Hi,

Given that the README still recommends installing via Quicklisp, could this still be fixed? Either update the Quicklisp package with the newer build or change the installation instructions?

I currently have installed it via quicklisp, now find out that's a problem, I've cloned the necessary repos to my local-projects folder but it still seems to be preferring the earlier installed package and basically this is a silly juggling act for someone wanting to try this (otherwise fantastic-looking) project out.

Does this work in Quicklisp now? What version number of Quicklisp do you need to run it?

[joshgiesbrecht]

Don't know about version number, but I just did a fresh install of absolutely everything and it's working fine as per the "tutorial" instructions on the main page here.
