## Summary:
For RMF.
I was inspired by Bret Victor's "Inventing on Principle" talk [1] and wanted
to see how close Emacs could get to the graphical interactivity and feedback
of his environment.
The resulting research effort turned up some Emacs capabilities that were
new to me. I was happily surprised to find Emacs's librsvg support could
draw SVG right in a buffer. svg-clock showed me how to do the animation;
the erase-buffer/insert-image approach is inefficient but it works [2]. I
even came across some early-stage experimentation toward an Elisp vector
graphics library [3].
To put it all together, I decided to clone a great Java game I played a long
time ago (with the excuse of testing icedtea-web), Slime Volleyball [4].
This is the result; I hope you find it fun.
