The MOG in Clj menace (Episode I)

By Mey Beisaron

Elevator Pitch

This talk will be about writing a Multiplayer Online Game in Clojure: how, what and most importantly - WHY?? Not only because you can do it in 100 lines of code, but because it is just pure FUN.

Description

Writing a Multiplayer Online Game in Clojure - WHY?? Not only because you can do it in under 100 lines of code, but because it is just pure FUN. I will go through each line of code and explain how you can do it yourself even if you’ve never written a single line of code in Clojure before!
Whether you’re a real Clojurian at heart or just interested in hearing a talk about games development in Clojure from a sworn star wars fan - this talk is for you :)
