Thanks!
last night I played with rigging up a sprite because my girlfriend wanted me to add a panda to the fighter tutorial.
I had to rewrite the movement logic because pandas and spaceships move a little differently so I was reminded how nice it is to be able to fiddle with functions while the game is running.
Turns out it wasn't my logic that was causing my poor panda to fall through space, I just forgot to set the gravity to zero on his rigid body
I guess I could've done in the code but I've learned to let unity handle the uninteresting parts of the prefabs

The interesting part was when I set up the animations I had an "idle" animation and a "running" animation so when it's just standing around it's breathing heavy and when you move it, the legs move, and then when you stop pressing the wasd keys it stops and goes back into the idle animation.

so I was able to use with-cmpt to grab it's animator and use interop to call the SetBool for the boolean value I set up in unity's animator ui. So yeah, my clojure code can toggle the animation.

I'm going to start documenting all my progress in a blog somewhere so I don't keep dumping a wall of text here every day. Maybe I'll stumble backwards into one of my original goals when I first joined the community and help document the API and provide interesting usage examples.

TL;DR: I got another thing working and went into a lot of detail about it, I vowed to never do this again in gitter and instead put implementation details in a blog
