Hi! I have just procured a Symbolics 3650, and although I am an animator by
trade, I am compelled to study Lisp in order to take full advantage of the
system. I have some programming background, in 68xxx assembler and C, and with
a combination of the seemingly extensive Symbolics documentation on Symbolics
Common Lisp (slc) and a few select books from a friend, I will learn some Lisp.
How much Lisp depends on how much fun I have, of course :) What I am looking
for here, or anywhere, is some sample code related to the "Flocking" behavioral
work described in Craig W. Reynolds' "Flocks, Herds and Schools: A Distributed
Behavioral Model", found in ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics Volume 21 #4 July
1987. I don't want anyone's life work for free, but some examples that
demonstrate something I'm really interested in would go a long inspirational
way for me...  Any pointers or directions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Are there any Symbolics Inc. people in this group?
