In our previous post, we introduced how to utilize Discrete Event Simulation (DES) in PicoLisp. Now, let's explore another application: a railroad model simulation that includes tracks and trains. The visualization is ASCII-based, so feel free to unl...
The Dining Philosophers
In this post, we will introduce the concept of co-routines and how they are handled in PicoLisp. This will be the foundation for the subsequent posts on Discrete Event Simulation and finally a couple of examples, including an ASCII model railway simu...
One of the many nice things of PicoLisp is that it comes with a built-in database. This makes it easy to collect and store our own data, for example via a mobile app. But not all data is best represented in tables and lists: sometimes a colorful litt...
In the last two posts, we have built a little app that shows the current location and displays the nearest ice cream shops: https://picolisp-explored.com/an-openstreetmap-app-written-in-picolisp-pt-1 https://picolisp-explored.com/an-openstreetmap-ap...
This is the third part of a little series which explains how to write a small app in PicoLisp that shows the nearest ice cream shops nearby. You might want to read the first two parts first: https://picolisp-explored.com/an-openstreetmap-app-written...
Now it's almost summer and definitely time to finish the blog post about the PicoLisp Ice Cream Finder! This is a continuation of this post, where we explained how to work with Google Maps and OpenStreetView. The app's purpose is simple: It should pi...
In the last post, we saw how to use the task function to repeat tasks periodically or listen for asynchronous events. Now let's demonstrate it using a little example - a simple chat demo app. (This example was also included in the pil64-version of P...
Before continuing with the "Mobile Development" series, I decided to write about the task function, because it is a very useful function as we will see in the mobile app series. Realizing repetitive tasks with task With help of task, we can schedule...
