little-lib is a library for quickly writing small games or OpenGL applications in mzscheme (v372). It relies on OpenGL, SDL, SDL_image, and SDL_mixer to process graphics output, key and mouse input, and playing sound effects. A sample program (demo.ss) illustrates the use of little-lib in these three respects.

little-lib is released under the MIT license. I plan to use this library for my Ludum Dare 11 entry.

Download the source code.

So, I’ve got something to submit (finally)! Not as polished as I’d like, but it’s pretty fun. It’s similar to asteroids, except instead of falling apart helplessly the asteroids fight back. Give it a try! WASD to move, IJKL to shoot.

Source (Install mzscheme and run it with “mzscheme -u black-box.ss”. libSDL, libSDL_image, and libSDL_mixer are required.)
