Aiband, a Clojure Unity Roguelike

I’ve decided to participate in ProcJam 2016 this year.

For a change of pace, I’m building a small roguelike in Clojure with a Unity3D front-end. This is an interesting challenge as Clojure allows for (even strives for) purity, but doesn’t have a well-integrated, easy to use state monad and related syntax like Haskell, making it hard to use (for example) random numbers purely.

So, I’m making an almost-pure version, with the impurities of the random numbers “allowed,” for now. I may explore writing/refactoring my code to allow for the use of Clojure’s threading macros.
