In the context of Emacs Lisp programming +they can also provide us with a "foot-gun" of immense proportions. +Join the dungeon-mode project as we trip over our own macros, so to +speak, in the context of building a GPLv3+ turn-based role-playing +game engine and game design features for Emacs. + +In this 20m talk I'll briefly introduce some rationales leading to +storing all game source and play state information within org-mode +documents (spoiler: it's about freedom), then go into some detail +around the "ETL" process design that currently accomplishes this. +Finally, we'll look closely at one especially problematic macro deep +within this solution, and invite people to throw fruit^11^dhelp draw +conclusions, ask questions, and discuss. + + + + +Back to the [[schedule]] + +All times are approximate, and we might shuffle talks around as needed. Please check https://emacsconf.org/2020 a few days before the start of the conference for instructions on how to watch and participate. +<!-- automatically generated from submissions.org ---> +[[!meta title="OMG Macros"]] |
