good to know :)
@nasser @timsgardner using @sogaiu s work on mixing clojure 1.10 + arcadia I managed to get a prepl working, mostly in the same way the socket-repl works: https://github.com/Saikyun/miracle.arcadia.prepl
the goal I tried to achieve is being able to build the game and still connect to a prepl (which is why it creates a game object + hook when in play mode). this works, but for some reason certain forms (
the goal I tried to achieve is being able to build the game and still connect to a prepl (which is why it creates a game object + hook when in play mode). this works, but for some reason certain forms (
ns, fn, etc) doesn't work. however functions like object-named do. sogaiu did manage to get this working using the socket-repl, so I think I'm missing something obvious. could you take a look? I think being able to prepl into a built arcadia game would be really neat, e.g. for patching while playing etc. hope you could take a look, it's not that much code. :)
@syngrato glad you got it working! i took out an issue (arcadia-unity/Arcadia#370) to update our wiki to reflect the new UI
@Saikyun that looks interesting, i have to say i am not familiar with pREPL myself so i cant comment intelligently. what does it provide and what would we have to do to support it?
The other thing you get is "server" -> repl client messages, in the form of
tap>. What this means is that you get a built in way to send messages from the server, without having gotten input from the client. This allows for two-way communication, which is also neat for debugging :)
E.g. whenever you'd hit a breakpoint you could send the local state using
tap>, without any input from the developer
@timsgardner thanks! I think you'll recognize some of the
socket-repls guts in there... :)
If you want to try what currently breaks: include the files in a project, build the project, connect to it using
nc, write (fn [] 5) and it'll break
@sogaiu managed to get this working with socket-repl, so there's something missing from my prepl
To test prepl you also need to add this to your
configuration.edn: :export-namespaces [arcadia.miracle.prepl]
Whoops,
:export-namespaces [miracle.arcadia.prepl] I mean
Ignore the last message >_< mobile gitter is not my friend
re: testing on il2cpp, i dont know of another way to test it than to try to build a game with it
in my iOS demo two years ago (http://nas.sr/magic/2017/12/28/early-ios.html) i compiled the assemblies separately and manually and i did not include ClojureCLR in the final build. there are instructions there, but let me know if i can clarify anything.
@nasser I believe prepl is meant to be an official way of solving similar problems to nrepl. What I like about the prepl is that it's really small and imo pretty easy to understand. It's basically a socket repl, but it wraps results in a map, with a clear start and end. It's also easy to start several prepls, so you could imagine starting one server per "editor functionality", instead of creating a monolith.
Re: il2cpp -- yeah, I was just thinking if there exists a way to run that game without needing an iphone. E.g. could I test it by building for web? :)
re: il2cpp, i dont think you actually need an iphone to test it, just try and build an iOS project and i expect that to fail pretty early.
if so, then we sure do!
that should do it :)
because my camera right now has it attached to the player which has its own camera script
3rd person view
box towards a specified position relative to the player
This way you get 3rd person camera, but also can use physics to avoid walls
camera controls in general can be somewhat complicated, and it will depend on exactly how your game works
@Saikyun's advice is good though, give it a shot
