@node REPL
@subsection REPL
@example
(use-modules (sly utils repl))
@end example
The Sly REPL is a cooperative REPL server that is integrated into the
game loop. It is the key to live coding games with Sly. To connect
to the REPL server, use the @uref{http://www.nongnu.org/geiser/,
Geiser} extension for GNU Emacs.
@deffn {Scheme Procedure} start-sly-repl [@var{port}]
Start a cooperative REPL server that listens on the given @code{port}.
By default, this port is 37146. Additionally, a process is scheduled
to poll the REPL server upon every tick of the game loop.
@end deffn
The Sly REPL detects when the game loop throws an error and enters a
special loop for debugging. When in this state, game state will not
be updated or rendered. When the errors have been fixed, calling the
@code{resume-game-loop} procedure will hand control back to the game
loop.
@deffn {Scheme Procedure} resume-game-loop
Abort from the error handling loop prompt and resume the game loop.
@end deffn
@node Live Reloading
@subsection Live Reloading
@example
(use-modules (sly utils live-reload))
@end example
The live-reload module enables Sly programs to react to changes in the
file system and reload assets automatically, which is useful when
using external programs such as an image editor or map editor. This
makes it easy to see the changes made to game assets quickly.
@defun live-reload @var{proc} [@var{polling-interval}]
Return a new procedure that re-applies @code{proc} whenever the
associated file is modified. The new procedure returns a signal
(@pxref{Signals}) that contains the return value of @code{proc}. The
first argument to @code{proc} must be a file name string.
A simple polling method is used to test for updates. Files are polled
every @code{polling-interval} ticks (120 by default).
@end defun
@node Miscellaneous-Utilities
@subsection Miscellaneous
@example
(use-modules (sly utils))
@end example
Miscellaneous helpful procedures.
@deffn {Scheme Syntax} define-guardian @var{name} @var{reaper}
Define a new guardian called @code{name} and call @code{reaper} when
an object within the guardian is GC'd. Reaping is ensured to happen
from the same thread that is running the game loop.
@end deffn
@deffn memoize @var{proc}
Return a memoizing version of @code{proc}.
@end deffn
@deffn {Scheme Syntax} forever @var{body} @dots{}
Evaluate @code{body} in an unbounded loop. Useful in coroutines that
have no end.
@end deffn
@deffn {Scheme Syntax} trampoline @var{proc-name}
Create a new procedure that applies the procedure bound to
@code{proc-name} with all given arguments.
@end deffn
@deffn {Scheme Syntax} chain* @var{args} (@var{proc} @dots{}) . @var{rest}
Handy macro for flattening nested procedure calls where the output of
an inner call is the last argument to the outer call.
@example
(chain* (list '(1 2) '(3 4))
(map +)
(fold + 0)) ;; => 10
@end example
@end deffn
@deffn {Scheme Syntax} chain @var{arg} (@var{proc} @dots{}) . @var{rest}
Like @code{chain*} but for a single argument.
@example
(chain '(1 2 3 4)
(map 1+)
(fold + 0)) ;; => 14
@end example
@end deffn
