GSHMUP

A bullet hell shooter written in C and Guile.

This is an experiment to write a small game that uses the GNU extension language, Guile, for configuration and event scripting.

Lua is often the go-to language for game scripting, but I wanted to try something different.

Watch a brief demo video

Try it

make
./gshmup

Refer to module/gshmup/init.scm for keybindings and other configuration.

For those feeling more adventurous, Gshmup runs a REPL server. Connect using Geiser in Emacs and have fun manipulating the game as it is running.
