gamekit:stop does not work in a event handler

[lthms]

Hi.

I am considering playing around with trivial-gamekit. Fair warning (and apologies in advance): I am very novice in common lisp.

I have been able to have a minimum working example (after installing quilcklisp).

I wanted to be able to quit the game from within the game, when for instance I press the left button of my mouse. Here is my code:

(cl:in-package :lysk)

(gamekit:defgame example () ())

(defmethod gamekit:post-initialize ((app example))
  (gamekit:bind-button :mouse-left :released
                       (lambda () (gamekit:stop))))

(defun run ()
  (gamekit:start 'example))

Unfortunately, it does not work, and even worth I cannot use gamekit:stop from the repl after a pressed left button.

Could you help me a bit here? I have no idea how to do this.

Thanks by advance, for your help and for your work.

Hi! Thank you for the report. At the moment #'stop works synchronously which means when called from the event callback it actually blocks the engine. Let me fix that :)

Fixed in bodge dist.

Please, let me know if it works fine for you after updating the dist.

Looks like it is working perfectly! Thanks a lot for your awesome reactivity. I will try to dive more into this, to see if I can implement a game client for my 2D online game using this project.

That would be awesome! Feel free to fire any issues or shoot any questions here or on #lispgames.
