The files in this directory define a simple demonstration http server
using AllegroServe and Allegro Webactions.

The application itself is a Japanese Kanji matching game: The client
is presented several Kanji characters along with an English
definition.  The user is then able to select one of the displayed
Kanji.  If the Kanji matches, the next page will say "Correct!", and
give the option of trying with a new definition and a new set of Kanji
characters.  If the Kanji doesn't match, the next page will say
"Incorrect.", and give the option of going back to the previous page
for another try.

There is little in the way of "bells and whistles" in this
demonstration application.  It is meant to help introduce new users to
Webactions and international characters in Allegro CL.

To use:

Start Allegro CL 6.2 with all patches (needed for webactions).

Load jgame.cl

 (load "jgame.cl")

In a Lisp listener, start a server with 

 (net.aserve:start)

If you can't use port 80 (default for http), then use
 
 (net.aserve:start :port n)

where n is the alternate port.

Then, to play the game, point a browser to 

 http://<host>:<port>/jgame

Note that <host> can be 'localhost' if the browser and server are on
the same machine.
