Hello mailing list,
I am developing a small text adventure game, which now runs nicely on a Linux terminal. I was going to ask a friend of mine to compile it on Windows, but then I thought: "Wouldn't it be awesome if people could run that in their browser?"
I searched a bit and found this little example game [1]. As you can see it was written in Haskell but you can play it in your browser.
Now, to the problem: it seems to me that the code requires UHC (Utrecht Haskell Compiler), which I don't have (I use GHC). What are the alternatives (if any)? As stated above, I am not going to code anything complex graphic wise, so the simpler the merrier!
Well, a compiler like GHC turns Haskell code into machine code. You need a different compiler if you want to target JavaScript: GHCJS, haste or uhc are the currently available options. I myself am currently working on a GUI library called threepenny-gui [1] which uses the web browser as a display. However, while it does use the browser, it is currently not meant to be used over the internet, only locally. But maybe that would already be good enough for your purposes.
