How to modify list within a list by reference?

Essentially I wrote a program in newLISP that tried its best to eliminate as many pieces as possible from a ChainShot game.

Nice project. Perhaps you could add a GUI to it one day..!

I implemented a simple memory allocation hack:

Wow, that's pretty neat.  It's still doing a context-like trick by using named symbols for the pointers, and evaluating a pointer takes log(n) time (b/c of the red-black tree), but that's still a really cool trick. Thanks for sharing!

Using this approach, code readability goes down to... lets say... C/C++  ;-)))

Well, almost, it's kinda difficult to make newLISP that bad. ;-)

Yeah, I think I might actually, once I finish all my finals for school.  Then if there's time I might enter it into the '07 newLISP competition. :-D
