Merry Christmas!

December 19, 2017

I’ll be taking a break until the new year, as my daughter is visiting from out-of-town and daily hits are cut about in half at the end of the academic year. I wish a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to my readers and their families.

    (loop with height = 18 
               for i below height
               for w = (truncate (+ i (* (/ i 8) (sin (/ (* pi i) 2)))))
               for l = (format nil "~A~V{*~}~A" (if (zerop (random 5)) "i " "  ") (* 2 w) '(()) (if (zerop (random 6)) " i" "  "))
