Game Development in Clojure
summary
A browser-based nomadic city-builder called The Longtime is implemented in Clojure with Shadow CLJS, Reagent UI, PouchDB for saved games and Bulma for styling, proving an offline-first web stack can ship a playable game across phone, tablet and desktop. Gameplay spans stone-age tools to gravity batteries and spaceships, rules live as Clojure functions checked by spec and property tests including a 67-line spec test suite with 65 checks, the UI totals 712 lines of HTML/Reagent, and tests validate herd-generation but not a full automated playthrough.
